Trial summary

Pazopanib is a drug that inhibits proteins thought to be important for new blood vessel formation. This drug has been used in other cancer research studies and information from those studies suggests that pazopanib may help block proteins that are important for the growth, invasion, and spread of cancer cells.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Pazopanib in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

Pazopanib is a drug that inhibits proteins thought to be important for new blood vessel formation. This drug has been used in other cancer research studies and information from those studies suggests that pazopanib may help block proteins that are important for the growth, invasion, and spread of cancer cells.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the progression-free survival rate in participants with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer who have received one prior regimen of systemic chemotherapy at 8 weeks

Secondary

  • To determine the response rate (as measured by RECIST 1.1 criteria and changes in blood flow/perfusion as measured by perfusion CT)
  • To determine median and overall survival
  • To characterize the toxicity profile of pazopanib in this patient population.

Exploratory

  • To analyze levels of circulating biomarkers from blood and urine samples obtained serially throughout the study and assess the utility of individual or subsets of these proteins to serve as a surrogate marker for treatment effect, treatment efficacy, and for tumor progression
  • To measure and investigate the use of monocytes as surrogate markers of angiogenesis inhibition
  • To analyze the subject population by identification of intra-tumoral biomarkers (such as c-kit, VEGF receptors, and microvessel density measured in available tumor biopsies) associated with the efficacy, safety and resistance to pazopanib
  • To assess the utility of perfusion CT scan in evaluating changes in anti-angiogenic activity as a measure of treatment efficacy

STATISTICAL DESIGN: This study uses a two-stage design to evaluate efficacy of cetuximab based on progression-free rate (PFR) at week 8 defined as complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) per RECIST 1.1 criteria. The null and alternative PFR are 30% and 50%. If fewer than 4 patients enrolled in the stage one cohort (n=15 patients) achieve SD or better than accrual would not proceed to stage two (n=15 patients). If 13 or more patients are progression-free of the 30 patients then the null hypothesis will be rejected. The probability that the treatment will be considered promising if the true PFR rate was 30% is 8.4% and 82% if the true PFR rate was 50%.

What is being measured

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

  1. 8-Week Progression-Free Rate

    The 8-week progression free rate (PFR) was defined as achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) based on RECIST 1.1 criteria by the time of the first disease assessment (8 weeks). Per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions; PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD; and SD is neither sufficient decrease to qualify as PR nor sufficient increase to qualify as progressive disease (PD). PD is at least a 20% increase in sum LD, taking as reference the smallest sum on study with at least 5 mm absolute increase. Response needed confirmation within 4 weeks. For non-target lesions, progression-free means no new lesions or unequivocal progression on existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: For this endpoint, disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and week 8 on treatment; Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment duration was a median of 3 cycles range (1-20).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Objective Response Rate

    The objective response rate (ORR) was defined as achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST 1.1 criteria on treatment. Per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. PR or better objective response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions.

    Measured: Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 8 weeks on treatment; Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment duration was a median of 3 cycles range (1-20).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pazopanib in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer and Lung Cancer, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 sites 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 8 inclusion and 18 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 23 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jan 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

8-Week Progression-Free Rate (time frame: For this endpoint, disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and week 8 on treatment; Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment duration was a median of 3 cycles range (1-20).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01253369, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2019.
