About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Vorinostat (SAHA, Zolinza) and Bortezomib (PS341, Velcade) as Third-Line Treatment in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of vorinostat and bortezomib in the third line treatment of advanced NSCLC, as well as to assess toxicity (including neuropathy) and tolerability of this regimen.

Read the detailed description

Current treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains inadequate. Vorinostat is a novel agent that inhibits the enzymatic activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs). Bortezomib is a small molecule proteasome inhibitor. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown the advantages of combining these two agents in the treatment of NSCLC

What is being measured

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

  1. Three-month Progression-free Survival

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions."

    Measured: Three-months post-treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response Rate

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) for target lesions and assessed by MRI, CT, or chest x-ray: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR+PR.

    Measured: Until disease progression, up to 2 years

  2. Median Overall Survival

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Toxicity

    Graded using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0

    Measured: 30 days post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing vorinostat and bortezomib in people with Carcinoma, Non Small Cell Lung, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison.

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 12 inclusion and 10 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 13 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 21 Nov 2016). 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?

Three-month Progression-free Survival (time frame: Three-months post-treatment). 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 13 Dec 2019.
