  • Female patients of childbearing potential must have negative pregnancy test within 7 days before initiation of study drug dosing. Postmenopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Male and female patients of reproductive potential must agree to employ an effective barrier method of birth control throughout the study and for up to 3 months following discontinuation of study drug.

This is as long as they have not been exposed to docetaxel during any point of their therapy. Once patients have been diagnosed with metastatic or recurrent disease, they may only have received one platinum-based therapy.

Who cannot join

  • Patient has received any other investigational agents within 30 days of first day of study drug dosing.
  • Patient is < 5 years free of another primary malignancy except: if the other primary malignancy is not currently clinically significant nor requiring active intervention, or if other primary malignancy is a basal cell skin cancer or a cervical carcinoma in situ. Existence of any other malignant disease is not allowed.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Imatinib Mesylate and Docetaxel in Pretreated Patients With Metastatic NSCLC

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how effective the combination of the drugs imatinib mesylate (Gleevec®) and docetaxel (Taxotere®) is in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The safety and tolerability of this drug combination will also be studied.

Read the detailed description

Imatinib mesylate is a medication that blocks certain proteins important in the development of cancer. Docetaxel is a drug that is designed to target and destroy cancer cells.

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will take 4 imatinib mesylate tablets by mouth once a day. Docetaxel will be given through a vein in your arm on the first day of each treatment cycle for a total of 6 cycles. The infusion will take 1 hour. A treatment cycle on this study is 21 days.

You will need to take steroids (dexamethasone) before receiving docetaxel to try to prevent fluid accumulation and hypersensitivity reactions. The dexamethasone will come in a pill form to be taken every 12 hours for 3 days starting the day before chemotherapy. You will also receive additional dexamethasone by vein before the docetaxel is given.

After you complete 6 treatment cycles, you will continue to take 4 imatinib mesylate tablets each day until your cancer gets worse, or you experience unacceptable side effects, or you withdraw from the study.

While on this study, you will have a physical exam every 3 weeks. During the first 5 weeks of the study, you will have blood tests each week. About 3 teaspoons of blood will be drawn each time. After the first 5 weeks, you will have blood tests (3 teaspoons each) at the beginning of each treatment cycle. In addition, your tumor will be measured by a CT or MRI scan every 6 weeks.

You must agree not to use herbal remedies or other over-the-counter therapies (e.g., shark cartilage) during treatment.

If you develop any unacceptable symptoms or changes in your laboratory tests, your treatment may be delayed and/or the dose decreased until the symptoms are gone. It may even be necessary to stop your treatment. Your doctor will inform you of any changes in your dosing schedule or in the doses of your medication after he/she evaluates you in the clinic.

After treatment ends, you will have a follow-up visit at the clinic. At this visit, you will have a complete physical exam, including blood (about 3 teaspoons) and urine tests. You will also have a CT scan to measure the size of the tumor in your body.

This is an investigational study. Imatinib mesylate is FDA approved for the treatment of leukemia. Docetaxel is FDA approved for the treatment of breast, prostate, and NSCLC. Up to 50 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at UTMDACC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Imatinib Mesylate and Docetaxel in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 9 inclusion and 21 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 11 Jan 2012. 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 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?

Patient Response Rate (time frame: Baseline and with each 3 week cycle). 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 11 Jan 2012.
