Carboplatin, Ixabepilone, and Cetuximab in Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Previously Untreated With Chemotherapy
A Phase 2 study testing cetuximab, carboplatin and ixabepilone in people with Lung Cancer, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase II Trial of Carboplatin, Ixabepilone and Cetuximab in Chemotherapy Naive Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving chemotherapy together with monoclonal antibodies may be a better way to block cancer growth.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving carboplatin and ixabepilone together with cetuximab works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer previously untreated with chemotherapy.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To estimate the disease-control rate in patients with advanced chemotherapy-naive non-small cell lung cancer after 2 courses of carboplatin, ixabepilone, and cetuximab.
Secondary
- To estimate the progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
- To estimate the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
- To estimate the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
- To determine the potential predictive marker of efficacy of ixabepilone and cetuximab. (exploratory)
- To investigate the prevalence of cetuximab IgE antibody, and the rate of cetuximab hypersensitivity reactions in patients without evidence of cetuximab IgE antibodies.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes and ixabepilone IV over 3 hours on day 1 and cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1, 8 and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 2-4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment modifications may apply according to response.
Tumor tissue and blood samples are collected for further analysis.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing cetuximab, carboplatin and ixabepilone in people with Lung Cancer, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2012. 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?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Disease-control rate after 2 courses of carboplatin, cetuximab, and ixabepilone (time frame: 42 days). 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 6 Mar 2012.
