- Fasting serum glucose < 120 mg/dL or below institutional ULN =< 7 days prior to protocol randomization
- Patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases will be eligible if they have completed a course of CNS radiotherapy and have stable neurologic function for a minimum of 28 days prior to study randomization; radiotherapy must have been completed a minimum of 28 days prior to randomization, and patients must have recovered from any adverse events related to the radiotherapy (except alopecia and grade 1 neuropathy) and have stable neurologic function for a minimum of 28 days prior to study randomization
- NOTE: the use of prophylactic cranial irradiation (recommended dose 25 Gy) in those who completed protocol chemotherapy and have a response (in the absence of progressive disease [PD]) is allowed; for patients on Arms B and C, GDC-0449 and IMC-A12 will be held while patient is receiving prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI); these agents can be reinstituted after PCI is completed
- Women of child-bearing potential (WCBP) and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation
- WCBP must agree to use two reliable forms of contraception simultaneously or to practice complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse; the two methods of reliable contraception must include one highly effective method (i.e., intrauterine device [IUD], hormonal [birth control pills, injections, or implants], tubal ligation, partner?s vasectomy) and one additional effective (barrier) method (i.e., latex condom, diaphragm, cervical cap); WCBP must be referred to a qualified provider of contraceptive methods if needed
- NOTE: the WCBP randomized to Arm B must agree to use two reliable forms of contraception simultaneously or to practice complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse during the following two additional time periods related to this study: 1) while participating in the study; and 2) for at least 12 months after discontinuation from the study
- Before starting the study drugs, all WCBP must have a negative pregnancy test (sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL); the pregnancy test must be performed within 10-14 days prior to randomization
- NOTE: the WCBP randomized to Arm B must have a second pregnancy test performed within the 24 hours prior to the start of the GDC-0449; the subject may not receive GDC-0449 until the investigator has verified that the results of these pregnancy tests are negative
- The WCBP randomized to Arm B will be warned that sharing the study drug is prohibited and will be counseled about pregnancy precautions and potential risks or fetal exposure; she must also agree to abstain from donating blood during study participation and at least 12 months after discontinuation from the study drug
- NOTE: male subjects randomized to Arm B must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with WCBP while participating in the study and for at least 12 months following discontinuation from the study even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy
- Male subjects randomized to Arm B will be warned that sharing study drug is prohibited and will be counseled about pregnancy precautions and potential risks of fetal exposure; male subjects must agree to abstain from donating blood, semen, or sperm during study participation and for at least 3 months after discontinuation from the study drug
Who cannot join
- Pregnant or breastfeeding; all WCBP must have a blood test within 10-14 days prior to randomization to rule out pregnancy
- Prior chemotherapy or biologic therapy for SCLC; patients with prior radiation may be eligible or after palliative radiotherapy for other sites of disease; patients receiving prior radiation cannot start therapy within 14 days after completion of radiation, and must have recovered from adverse events attributed to radiation; no previous irradiation to the only site of measurable or evaluable disease, unless that site had subsequent evidence of progression
- Receiving any other investigational agents
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to GDC-0449 and IMC-A12 or other agents used in the study
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Cisplatin and Etoposide in Combination With Either Hedgehog Inhibitor GDC-0449 or IGF-1R MOAB IMC-A12 for Patients With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
This randomized phase II trial studies cisplatin and etoposide to see how well they work when given with or without Hedgehog inhibitor GDC-0449 (vismodegib) or IGF-1R MOAB IMC-A12 (cixutumumab) in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Etoposide may slow the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vismodegib may slow the growth of tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving cisplatin and etoposide are more effective when given together with vismodegib or cixutumumab in treating small cell lung cancer.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC-ED) treated with cisplatin and etoposide (CE), CE with hedgehog (HH) inhibitor GDC-0449 (vismodegib), and CE with insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) monoclonal antibody (IMC-A12) (cixutumumab).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate response rate, overall survival, and toxicity for each arm. II. To explore putative correlates of clinical benefit from combination therapy in tumor and circulating tumor cells in patients treated on this protocol.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.
ARM A (CE): Patients receive cisplatin (75 mg/m^2) intravenously (IV) over 1-2 hours on day 1 and etoposide (100 mg/m^2) IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM B (CE +GDC-0449): Patients receive cisplatin and etoposide as in Arm A and vismodegib (GDC-0449; 150 mg tablet) orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive vismodegib alone QD in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM C (CE + IMC-A12): Patients receive cisplatin and etoposide as in Arm A and cixutumumab (IMC-A12; 6 mg/kg) IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive cixutumumab alone once weekly in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to death or disease progression, whichever occurred first. Patients who were alive at the time of analysis are censored at the date at which they are last known to be alive and progression-free.
Measured: Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry
Secondary outcomes (3)
Response Rate
Response rate is defined as number of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by all eligible and treated patients. Responses are evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline. CR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), and persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s).
Measured: Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death or date of last known alive.
Measured: Assessed every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry
PFS
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to death or disease progression, whichever occurred first. Patients who were alive at the time of analysis are censored at the date at which they are last known to be alive and progression-free. This analysis is to evaluate the association between PFS and circulating tumor cells (CTCs).
Measured: Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Cisplatin, Cixutumumab and Etoposide in people with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Recurrent Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 301 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 9 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 24 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 301 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 29 Jul 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?
Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry). 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 24 Jun 2026.
