Who may be able to join

  • Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), excluding squamous cell-predominant subtype. NSCLC NOS (not otherwise specified) are eligible.
  • Patients must have had at least one but no more than two prior systemic chemotherapeutic regimens for metastatic disease. Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy will not be included in the assessment as a prior chemotherapeutic regimen. Prior therapy with taxanes is allowed.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Bevacizumab and Ixabepilone for Advanced or Metastatic Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Progressive After First-line Therapy

This is a non-randomized, open-label, single arm phase II trial of the combination of bevacizumab and ixabepilone in patients with advanced- or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC progressive after first or second-line therapy. The main objective is to evaluate the progression-free survival in patients with advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC being treated with ixabepilone and bevacizumab.

Read the detailed description

The first six patients will be enrolled in a lead-in phase of the study utilizing a reduced dose of ixabepilone. Patients will be monitored for safety and toxicity. If the combination is found to be tolerable and feasible, accrual will continue with the full-dose regimen. Toxicity will be monitored in real-time by the study investigators. Should unexpected or increased toxicity be detected, trial accrual will be halted for full analysis.

Bevacizumab will be administered intravenously, 10 mg/kg, every two weeks. Ixabepilone will be administered intravenously, 16 mg/m2, once weekly for 3 of 4 weeks on a 28-day schedule, to the first six patients enrolled. Ixabepilone will be administered intravenously, 20mg/m2, once weekly for 3 of 4 weeks on a 28-day schedule, to the remaining 40 patients enrolled.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ixabepilone and bevacizumab in people with Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Providence Health & Services at 1 site 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 20 inclusion and 29 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 7 Sep 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of support from pharmaceutical collaborator.). 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?

progression-free survival (time frame: at week 8, week 16, and every 8 weeks until disease progression or removal from study). 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 7 Sep 2015.
