About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Dasatinib in Previously Treated Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

On this study patients will receive dasatinib, a targeted therapy, for advanced NSCLC that has progressed after previous therapy. Safety and response to dasatinib will be assessed.

Fresh frozen tumor tissue must be available for genomics analysis prior to initiating dasatinib therapy. A biopsy must be obtained after any prior chemotherapy. If fresh frozen tumor tissue is not available, a biopsy will be required to participate in this trial.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Twenty to seventy-five percent of patients initially treated with surgery or radiotherapy recur and become candidates for systemic therapy. Src expression has been identified in a majority of NSCLC cell lines and may be important in hypoxic growth and angiogenesis of NSCLC.

This phase II trial will investigate the activity of the oral Src inhibitor dasatinib in advanced stage NSCLC. We hypothesize that the inhibition of Src pathway with dasatinib will show anti-tumor activity in advanced NSCLC, with a tolerable safety profile.

Fresh frozen tissue is needed for the genomics analysis, thus a biopsy will be required to participate in this trial. The genomic analysis will determine if the tumor is Src-active or Src-inactive and responses to dasatinib compared. In stage I, 40 patients will be treated without prior knowledge of their tumoral Src-activity. If all stage I responses are observed in the Src-active patients, the second stage will only accrue that cohort. If all responses are observed in the Src-inactive cohort, the activity of dasatinib and genomic determination of dasatinib response will be re-evaluated. Otherwise, if during Stage I, responses are observed in both cohorts, they will be accrued separately and evaluated in a two-stage manner.

Dasatinib will be give orally twice daily and continue until progression of disease, intolerable toxicity or patient withdrawal. Imaging studies will be done pre-treatment then every 6 weeks to assess radiologic response to therapy.

Patients will be followed for 30 days after the last dose of dasatinib to assess toxicity.

What participants receive

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

  • DasatinibDrug

    Also called Sprycel

    70 mg PO twice daily until progression. Re-assess radiographically every 6 weeks.

Study groups in NCT00787267
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DasatinibExperimentalAfter a biopsy is done to obtain fresh frozen tumor tissue (Stage I), dasatinib is to be administered as an oral dose of 70 mg twice daily on a continuous basis for 6 weeks. Every 6 weeks radiologic exam will be done to assess response. Treatment will continue until progression of disease, intolerable toxicity or patient withdrawal. For Stage II, a biopsy to obtain fresh frozen tumor tissue will also be done. Depending on results from Stage I and results of biopsy, treatment with dasatinib will be determined.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor Response

    Tumor response rate was defined by RECIST criteria:

    CR (complete response) = disappearance of all target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameter (LD); PR (partial response) = at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; PD (progressive disease) = at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions; SD (stable disease) = Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) is the duration from date of consent to date of death from any cause.

    Measured: Progression and survival every 6 months

  2. Grade 3-5 Toxicity Associated With Dasatinib Treatment

    Number of subjects with Grade 3-5 toxicity as assessed using NCI CTCAE criteria with the attribution of possibly, probably, or definitely related to protocol treatment.

    Measured: Duration of dasatinib treatment plus 30 days

  3. Describe Change in Serum Levels of C-terminal Cross-linked Collagen I Between Pre-treatment and 6 Weeks After Starting Dasatinib.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Determine Relationship Between K-ras Gene Mutation and Response to Dasatinib.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dasatinib in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Duke University at 3 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 23 inclusion and 23 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 30 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 1 Jan 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?

Tumor Response (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00787267, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Jun 2016.
