Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • have histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IIIB (pleural effusion; IVA on revised IASLC staging) or stage IV, or recurrent, non-small cell lung cancer with evidence of RAS- or EGFR- activation in their tumors, as defined by EGFR activating mutations in exons 18 to 21, EGFR FISH amplification, or K-ras mutations in exon 2 (codons 12,13,61).

  • be chemotherapy naïve for their metastatic or recurrent NSCLC. Prior adjuvant chemotherapy or chemo-XRT for treatment of localized disease is allowed, provided it has been ≥ 6 months since the last chemotherapy infusion. Previous radiation for palliative purposes is also allowed, as long as it has been ≥4 weeks from the last dose.
  • Patients who have been previously treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors as their only systemic treatment are eligible, provided this treatment has been discontinued for ≥4 weeks. Patients who have received erlotinib as first line treatment without chemotherapy and experience tumor progression will be eligible.
  • have NO continuing acute toxic effects (except alopecia) of any prior radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or surgical procedures, i.e., all such effects must have resolved to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 3.0) Grade ≤ 1. Surgery (except biopsies) must have occurred at least 28 days prior to study enrollment.

About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study of Intravenous Administration of Reovirus Serotype 3 - Dearing Strain (REOLYSIN®) in Combination With Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have KRAS or EGFR Activated Tumors

The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to investigate whether intravenous administration of a wild type reovirus (REOLYSIN®) in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin is effective and safe in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with KRAS or EGFR activation.

Read the detailed description

Reovirus Serotype 3 - Dearing Strain (REOLYSIN®) is a naturally occurring, ubiquitous, non-enveloped human reovirus. Reovirus has been shown to replicate selectively in Ras-transformed cells causing cell lysis. Activating mutations in ras or mutation in oncogenes signaling through the ras pathway may occur in as many as 80% of human tumors. The specificity of the reovirus for Ras-transformed cells, coupled with its relatively nonpathogenic nature in humans, makes it an attractive anti-cancer therapy candidate.

Given the ability of reovirus to replicate and cause oncolysis in Ras-activated cells, the high incidence of K-ras mutations in lung cancers, and the Ras-mediated activation often encountered in EGFR-addicted tumors, the administration of REOLYSIN® in combination with chemotherapy is expected to result in enhanced clinical benefit in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with K-ras mutations and/or EGFR aberrant activation in their tumors. Patients with de novo or acquired EGFR mutations in their tumors that confer resistance to EGFR TKIs (e.g. T790) are expected to benefit as well. This is a single arm, open-label, Phase 2 study of REOLYSIN® given intravenously with paclitaxel and carboplatin every 3 weeks (21 days is defined as a cycle) in NSCLC patients with tumors driven by these pathways.

Paclitaxel at a dose of 175 mg/m2 will be given i.v. as a 3 hour infusion on Day 1 followed by carboplatin given i.v. AUC 5 mg/mL•minute. REOLYSIN® will be given over 60 min on Day 1 (starting after completion of the carboplatin infusion), and on Days 2 - 5. The treatment cycle will be repeated every 21 days.

Patients will receive 4 to 6 cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin, at the treating physician's discretion according to standard of practice, in conjunction with REOLYSIN®. After completion of the 4 to 6 cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin, REOLYSIN® may be continued as monotherapy Days 1-5 of each 21 day cycle until there is evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may continue to receive therapy under this protocol, provided they have not experienced either progressive disease or unacceptable drug-related toxicity that does not respond to either supportive care or dose reduction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the objective response rate (complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)) of the treatment regimen in the study population

    Measured: For PR or CR, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Determine the median duration of progression-free survival of patients receiving the study treatment.

    Measured: during and following study

  2. Determine the median to 1-year survival of patients receiving the study treatment.

    Measured: up to one year

  3. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of REOLYSIN® in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in this patient population.

    Measured: within 30 days of last dose of REOLYSIN®

  4. Determine the proportion of patients receiving the above treatment who are alive and free of disease progression at 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing REOLYSIN®, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in people with Carcinoma, Non-small Cell Lung, run by Oncolytics Biotech at 2 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 16 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 2 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Determine the objective response rate (complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)) of the treatment regimen in the study population (time frame: For PR or CR, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met.). 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 2 Dec 2015.
