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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically documented NSCLC confirmed.
  • Has advanced NSCLC (Stage IV), not previously treated with any chemotherapy regiment (prior adjuvant chemotherapy and/or chemotherapy/radiation for Stage III allowed).

Who cannot join

  • Brain or meningeal metastases. Note, patients with adequately treated brain metastases, e.g. surgically resected, or adequately controlled by radiotherapy, with no residual neurological symptoms due to metastases and no steroid treatment required, can be enrolled. If clinical suspicion, adequate investigations should be performed to rule out brain metastases or meningeal involvement.

About this study

Official title: Phase Ib/II Study to Determine the Recommended Dose, Safety, and Preliminary Efficacy of Belinostat When Used in Combination With Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, and Bevacizumab in Patients With Untreated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to establish the safest dose of the investigational medication Belinostat that can be administered with a standard of care chemotherapy regimen of bevacizumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel. Further study will examine the short and long-term effect (up to 2 years) of this medication on participant's disease status and overall survival.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase Ib/II, single center, open label, dose-finding study to evaluate the use of Belinostat when given with standard of care chemotherapy in patients with untreated, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the Phase Ib portion, dose limiting toxicity evaluation will be used to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Belinostat when given with fixed doses of bevacizumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel(a BelCap-B regimen). Three dose levels of Belinostat are proposed (600mg/kg, 800mg/kg, 1000mg/kg). Determination of MTD will be the basis for establishing set dosing for the phase II component of the study.

The phase II portion of the study includes further drug safety evaluation and a preliminary assessment of efficacy of Belinostat when used with specified induction and maintenance regimens. Response will be evaluated through the RECIST criteria. Additional analysis will be done to estimate the time to response, progression free survival, median survival, and overall survival (OS) in study participants to 2 years post-initiation of cycle 1.

Based on a standard 3 x 3 statistical design, the phase Ib portion may accrue between 3 to 12 participants. Phase II will have a minimum sample size of 10 and a maximum of 16 patients. Participants who complete the Phase I portion and are able to advance to Phase II, will be evaluable for the Phase II objectives.

What participants receive

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

  • Belinostat, carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumabDrug

    Also called Belionostat, PDX101, Bevacizumab, Carboplatin

    Induction therapy will include 6 cycles of 5-days of medication administration followed by a 16 day rest period. Belinostat will be given once a day for 5 days total. Three dose levels will be evaluated (600mg/kg, 800 mg/kg, and 1000 mg/kg). In addition, participants will receive fixed doses of intravenous carboplatin (AUC 6), Paclitaxel (200 mg/m2), and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) once on day 3 of each cycle. Serial disease status evaluations will be done throughout the study.

    In the absence of significant toxicity or disease progression, participants may continue with a maintenance regimen of bevacizumab and Belinostat for an additional 6 cycles. The dose of Belinostat received during maintenance will be that tolerated in the initial 6 cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. The recommended phase II dose of Belinostat when used in combination with carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab.

    The aim of the initial phase Ib component is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Belinostat when used with a standard of care carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab course of therapy ("BelCap-B") regimen. The MTD will be determined through the process of dose-limiting-toxicity evaluation.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To evaluate overall survival with this investigational treatment.

    The percentage of participants who are alive at 2 years post initiation of investigational treatment.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Long-term safety (late-effects up to 2 years)

    Long-term (up to 2 years) safety evaluation of the investigational treatment will be evaluated by ongoing evaluation of adverse events/late-effects using the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Evaluate disease response of participants who receive this investigational medication regimen

    Response to therapy will be measured by the RECIST criteria. The investigators will assess the percentage of research participants whose disease status indicates a response to investigational treatment according to the RECIST criteria.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. To evaluate progression-free survival

    The number (%) of participants who do not show evidence of disease progression (according to RECIST criteria)at 2 years post initial administration of the investigational product.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Belinostat, carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Holy Cross Hospital, Florida 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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2018. 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 combined 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.

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: Principal Investigator has left institution. IND withdrawn.). 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?

The recommended phase II dose of Belinostat when used in combination with carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab. (time frame: 1 year). 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 23 Feb 2018.
