About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of WST11-mediated Vascular Targeted Photodynamic Therapy on Obstructing Endobronchial Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The aim of this study is to determine the dose of WST11 and light energy necessary to obtain desobstruction of the bronchial lumen using Vascular Targeted Photodynamic therapy in obstructive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a multicentre, exploratory phase IIa, open label, single intravenous (IV) dose, escalating treatment regimen (Treatment regimen = a single dose of WST11 associated with a particular laser light energy) with a one month follow-up.

Six escalating treatment regimens will be followed: 3 WST11 doses (5 mg/kg; 7.5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) combined with 2 light energies (200 Joules/cm and 300 Joules/cm)

The patient will be treated under local anesthesia. The light is produced using a specific laser at a wavelength of 753 nm at a fixed power of 250 mW/cm and locally delivered to the obstructing tumor through an optical fiber placed, during endoscopy, in the endoscope operating channel with visual control, possibly video-transmission assisted. The fiber illuminating diffusion length is fixed (2 cm).

What participants receive

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

  • WST11Drug

    Also called WST11-mediated VTP

    WST11-mediated VTP will consists of the combination of a single IV administration of WST11 at doses of 5, 7.5 \& 10 mg/kg, using 753 nm laser light at a fixed power of 250 mW/cm and escalating fixed energy dose (200 Joules/cm and 300 Joules/cm) locally delivered to the obstructing tumor through an optical fiber placed, during endoscopy, in the endoscope operating channel with visual control, possibly video-transmission assisted. The fiber illuminating diffusion length is fixed (2 cm).

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage of bronchial obstruction before and after treatment represents the main evaluation parameter.

    Measured: Week 1, Month 1

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The evaluation of safety will be based on adverse events reporting throughout the duration of the study, on the monitoring of vital signs and ECGs, on laboratory tests,clinical examination and chest X Ray.

    Measured: Screening-Month 3

  2. Quality of life will be assessed through the validated patient questionnaires

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1, Month 1 & Month 3

  3. To assess pharmacokinetic parameters of WST11

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing WST11 in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Steba Biotech S.A. at 1 site in France.

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 11 inclusion and 13 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 28 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Early end of enrolment with regards to difficulty met to enrol patients.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The percentage of bronchial obstruction before and after treatment represents the main evaluation parameter. (time frame: Week 1, Month 1). 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 28 Apr 2015.
