About this study

Official title: Phase IIb Randomized Comparative Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Myo-inositol Versus Placebo in Smokers With Bronchial Dysplasia

This randomized phase II trial is studying inositol to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing lung cancer in current or former smokers with bronchial dysplasia. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of inositol may prevent lung cancer. It is not yet known whether inositol is more effective than a placebo in preventing lung cancer in smokers with bronchial dysplasia.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of myo-inositol (inositol) 9 grams by mouth twice a day for 6 months versus placebo to revert bronchial dysplasia in current/former smokers with or without curatively treated Stage 0/I non-small cell lung cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To further define the mechanism(s) of action of pharmacological doses of myo-inositol as a lung cancer chemopreventive agent by evaluating changes in: the number of dysplastic lesions, Ki-67, caspase-3, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma, cyclin D1, cyclin E and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immunostaining in bronchial biopsies; gene expression analysis of ribonucleic acid (RNA) from bronchial brush cells; and changes in inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein [CRP], monocyte chemotactic protein-1 [MCP-1], myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor-1 [MPIF-1] and L-Selectin) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and plasma before and after treatment.

II. To collect additional safety and adverse event profiles of participants enrolled in both intervention arms. III. To establish a biospecimen repository archive for future correlative studies.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to smoking status (current vs former), prior lung cancer (yes vs no), and number of dysplastic lesions at baseline (1 vs > 1). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive oral inositol once daily for 2 weeks and then twice daily for up to 6 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II: Patients receive oral placebo once daily for 2 weeks and then twice daily for up to 6 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo white light and autofluorescence bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage, bronchial brushings, and biopsies as well as optical coherence tomography imaging and blood sample collection at baseline and after completion of study treatment. Samples are analyzed for tissue biomarkers (e.g., PPAR gamma, Ki-67, caspase-3, cyclin D1, cyclin E, and VEGF) by immunohistochemistry (IHC); cytokine levels (e.g., CRP, MCP-1, MPIF-1, and L-selectin) by ELISA; and gene expression profiles of RNA by microarray.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed within 30 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Response Determined by Change in the Histologic Grade of Bronchial Dysplasia as Measured by Mucosal Biopsy Samples on Participant-specific Analysis.

    The definitions of responses are:

    Complete response: regression of all dysplastic lesion (DL) found at baseline to lesions that were no worse than hyperplasia and no new DL that were mild dysplasia or worse; Partial response: regression of some but not all of the DL with no new lesions that are mild dysplasia or worse; Progressive disease: progression of one or more sites by two or more grades or new DL that were mild dysplasia or worse; Stable disease: no complete response, partial response or progression.

    Measured: From baseline up to 6 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With Response Determined by Change in the Histologic Grade of Bronchial Dysplasia as Measured by Mucosal Biopsy Samples on Lesion-specific Analysis.

    The definitions of responses are:

    Complete response: the regression of a dysplastic lesion (DL) of any grade to one classified as being hyperplastic/normal; Progressive disease: appearance of lesions that were classified as mild dysplasia or worse; Stable disease: lesions that are not classified as complete response or progressive disease

    Measured: From baseline up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing inositol in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Squamous Lung Dysplasia, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 48 inclusion and 0 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Canada. 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 25 Aug 2015). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Response Determined by Change in the Histologic Grade of Bronchial Dysplasia as Measured by Mucosal Biopsy Samples on Participant-specific Analysis. (time frame: From baseline up to 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Dec 2017.
