About this study

Official title: A Clinical Phase I / II Trial of Belinostat in Combination With Erlotinib in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The Belinostat-Erlotinib trial is designed as an open, non randomized phase I / II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Belinostat in combination with Erlotinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who are eligible for treatment with erlotinib.

Read the detailed description

Belinostat, developed by CuraGen, belongs to a new class of hydroxymat-type histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. HDAC inhibitors, including Belinostat, has shown marked in vitro and in vivo activity against a number of solid tumors and hematological cancers. Belinostat has proven to be effective as a single agent or in combination with other anticancer agents such as doxorubcin, paclitaxel, carboplatin, fluorouracil, bortezumib, and there has been observed synergy between Belinostat or other HDAC inhibitors and EGFR inhibitors gefinitinib and erlonitib.

Furthermore, the antineoplastic activity of Belinostat seen in preclinical experiments have resulted in only moderate toxicity.

In the two Phase I trials of Belinostat for solid tumors and hematological malignancies Belinostat have been well tolerated at doses up to 2000 mg daily in more than 100 patients.

Fatigue, nausea and vomiting has been the main side effects and with none or very mild hematologic toxicity. Approximately 25% of patients in the study of solid tumors achieved stable disease.

What participants receive

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

  • Belinostat and ErlotinibDrug

    Also called Tarceva

    The design of the first phase is a 3 +3 phase I trial. The Belinostat dose will start at 500 mg and will be increased with 250 mg until a maximum dose of 1500 mg, administered daily in 2/3 weeks. Each patient will at the same time receive 150 mg of Erlotinib daily continously.

    When the patient is enrolled at one dose level, there will be no further dose escalation for that individual patient.

    3 patients will be treated at each dose level.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety

    The primary purpose of the phase I part of the trial is to establish the tolerance dose (maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT).

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy

    The phase II part of the study is to assess the efficacy of Belinostat and Erlotinib in combination assessed by disease control rate, defined as non - progression at 3 months / Stable disease or better) using RECIST response criteria version 1.1

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Belinostat and Erlotinib in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Herlev Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 14 inclusion and 6 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 19 Oct 2020. 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 Denmark. 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: Dose over MTD reached). 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?

Safety (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 19 Oct 2020.
