What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EntinostatDrug

    Also called SNDX-275

    Entinostat (10 milligrams [mg] fixed dose orally [PO] every 2 weeks [Q2W]) on Days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle for up to 6 cycles

  • ErlotinibDrug

    Also called Tarceva

    Erlotinib (150 mg PO QD) for up to six (6) 28-day cycles

Study groups in NCT00750698
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Erlotinib-responsiveExperimentalParticipants self-administered entinostat in combination with continued erlotinib self-administration. "Erlotinib-responsive" participants are those who progressed following either a complete or partial response to erlotinib or a period of stable disease lasting at least 3 months.
Receives: Drug: Entinostat; Drug: Erlotinib
Erlotinib-nonresponsiveExperimentalParticipants self-administered entinostat in combination with continued erlotinib self-administration. "Erlotinib-nonresponsive" participants are those who either progressed immediately during treatment with erlotinib (after at least 1 full cycle of erlotinib treatment) or had an objective response or period of stable disease lasting less than 3 months.
Receives: Drug: Entinostat; Drug: Erlotinib

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Disease Control Rate (Complete Response, Partial Response, or Stable Disease for at Least 3 Months

    Measured: At least 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression-free Survival Rate

    Measured: Up to 4 months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  2. Study startAug 2008
  3. Primary completionMay 2010
  4. Study completionJun 2010

Why it stopped: Due to business reasons, enrollment on the study was halted and the study terminated. The decision to close enrollment was not due to any safety concern.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Entinostat and Erlotinib in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Syndax Pharmaceuticals at 5 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jul 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease Control Rate (Complete Response, Partial Response, or Stable Disease for at Least 3 Months (time frame: At least 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jul 2023.
