About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Combination Anticancer Therapy of Paclitaxel and Everolimus for Relapsed or Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer

The objective of this phase I study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of combination therapy of paclitaxel and everolimus in small cell lung cancer patient with previous treatment history.

Read the detailed description

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 15% to 20% of all lung cancer, and more than half of these patients are diagnosed with extensive-stage disease (ED). SCLC is a particularly aggressive form of lung cancer with a tendency for rapid tumor growth, early dissemination and high frequency of the metastasis In this study, we evaluate the MTD of everolimus combined with paclitaxel combination chemotherapy in SCLC.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • taxol plus everolimusDrug

    taxol 175mg/m2 every 3 weeks plus everolimus every day. The dose of everolimus will be started from 2.5mg per day, and increasing to 5mg per day and to 10mg per day.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of everolimus when combined with fixed dose of paclitaxel in small cell lung cancer patients

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To evaluate the safety when paclitaxel plus everolimus are given to patients with small cell lung cancer

    Measured: 18 months

  2. To evaluate the objective response rate by RECIST 1.1 criteria

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing taxol plus everolimus in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 13 inclusion and 12 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 30 May 2013. 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 South Korea. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of everolimus when combined with fixed dose of paclitaxel in small cell lung cancer patients (time frame: 18 months). 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 30 May 2013.
