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 to 89 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC of any type
  • Disease stage. Patients with unresectable stage II, stage III, and Mx are eligible. This includes patients who are being considered as surgical candidates after induction chemoradiation. Patients with Mx or M1 disease whose life-span and prognosis are felt to be dominated by the locoregional disease in the chest and are candidates for chemoradiotherapy are also eligible.
  • Patients with pleural effusion that is transudative, cytologically negative and non- bloody are eligible if the radiation oncologist feels that the tumor can be encompassed within a reasonable field of radiotherapy.
  • If a pleural effusion is of such a small size that a thoracentesis is not possible, then the patient is eligible
  • Patients with malignant pleural or pericardial effusions are not eligible
  • Patients will be eligible with or without measurable or evaluable disease. Patients with both measurable and evaluable disease will be evaluated for criteria for measurable disease
Show all 19Show fewer
  • Measurable disease is defined according to RECIST criteria
  • Evaluable disease is defined as lesions apparent on CT which do not fit criteria for measurability.
  • Ill defined masses associated with post obstructive changes
  • Mediastinal or hilar adenopathy measurable in only one dimension
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • ECOG performance status ≤ 2
  • Life expectancy > 6 months
  • Adequate lung function as defined by an 02 saturation that is ≥ 90% on room air
  • Adequate bone marrow function as shown by: ANC ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, Platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L, Hb >9 g/dL Adequate liver function as shown by: serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, ALT and AST ≤ 2.5x ULN (≤ 5x ULN in patients with liver metastases), INR and PTT ≤1.5. (Anticoagulation is allowed if target INR ≤ 1.5 on a stable dose of warfarin or on a stable dose of LMW heparin for >2 weeks at time of randomization.)
  • Adequate renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
  • Fasting serum cholesterol ≤300 mg/dL OR ≤7.75 mmol/L AND fasting triglycerides ≤ 2.5 x ULN. NOTE: In case one or both of these thresholds are exceeded, the patient can only be included after initiation of appropriate lipid lowering medication.

  • Radiation therapy requirements: Patient must have a completed treatment plan approved by the protocol review team

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have received prior radiation or chemotherapy for the current diagnosis of NSCLC (patients who received surgery only for a prior NSCLC are eligible if the current diagnosis is felt to represent a new primary, and the PFT's would allow for concurrent chemoradiation)
  • Patients, who have had a major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks of start of study drug, patients who have not recovered from the side effects of any major surgery (defined as requiring general anesthesia) or patients that may require major surgery during the course of the study
  • Prior treatment with any investigational drug within the preceding 4 weeks
  • Patients receiving chronic, systemic treatment with corticosteroids or another immunosuppressive agent. Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are allowed.
  • Patients should not receive immunization with attenuated live vaccines within one week of study entry or during study period

Show all 16Show fewer
  • Patients who have any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions or other conditions that could affect their participation in the study such as:
  • unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months of start of study drug
  • serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia or any other clinically significant cardiac disease
  • symptomatic congestive heart failure of New York heart Association Class III or IV
  • uncontrolled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose >1.5 x ULN
  • active (acute or chronic) or uncontrolled severe infections
  • liver disease such as cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis or chronic persistent hepatitis
  • A known history of HIV seropositivity
  • Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of RAD001 (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome or small bowel resection)
  • Patients with an active, bleeding diathesis

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose Escalation Study of RAD001 in Combination With Chemotherapy and Radiation in Patients With NSCLC

The purpose of this study is to understand the effects (good and/or bad) of the addition of RAD001 to standard radiation and chemotherapy (cisplatin and pemetrexed) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

In oncology, clinical experience with RAD001 has been based on a number of phase I and II studies with single agent RAD001 as well as phase Ib and II studies of RAD001 in combination with other chemotherapeutic and molecular targeted agents, including paclitaxel, gemcitabine, and erlotinib among others. More recently, a phase III trial of single agent RAD001 in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who had failed therapy with VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitors was completed. Clinical experience for indications other than oncology comes from single dose studies in healthy volunteers, and studies in solid organ transplant patients, where RAD001 was administered with other immunosuppressive agents.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RAD001 (in addition to standard radiation and chemotherapy) in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Chicago 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 19 inclusion and 16 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 17 Jan 2014. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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: Poor accrual). 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?

To evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of RAD001 when administered in combination with chemotherapy and radiation. (time frame: 9/2011). 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 17 Jan 2014.
