About this study

Official title: The Maximum Tolerated Dose and to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Belinostat (PXD-101) in Combination With Paclitaxel Plus Carboplatin in Chemotherapy-Naive Patients With Stage IV Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

To define Phase 1/2 Maximum Tolerated Dose Study of Belinostat (PXD-101) in Combination with Paclitaxel plus Carboplatin in Chemotherapy-Naive Patients with Stage IV Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open label single arm study. Patients meeting all inclusion and exclusion criteria will receive up to 6 cycles of combination therapy of belinostat plus carboplatin (AUC 6) and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2.

During phase I the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of belinostat in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel will be determined in patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who have received no prior systemic chemotherapy. The dose escalation study will be conducted using traditional escalation rule of 3+3 design, during the first cycle of therapy. Belinostat will be assessed at a starting dose level of 1000 mg/m2 and multiple dose levels may be evaluated. Doses of belinostat, carboplatin and paclitaxel will remain constant throughout the study, unless dose modification is required by toxicity. Treatment is given on days 1-5 of every 21-day cycle. Routine safety evaluations will be conducted on days, 1, 8, and 15 of every cycle. Tumor measurement will be done after every 2 cycles of the treatment.

Additional 20 patients will be treated at the MTD defined dose during phase II expansion portion of the study.

All patients will receive up to 6 cycles of combination therapy and be followed until occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal of consent or death.

    Also called PXD-101

Study groups in NCT01310244
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Single arm, open labelExperimentalAt the study entry each patient will receive a dose level assignment which will include a specific dose level and the dose of IV belinostat in mg/m2 to be administered during the study treatment. Belinostat will be infused over 30 minutes once daily on Days 1-5 of each 21-day cycle. On Day 3, the infusion of belinostat must be completed at least 1 hour prior to the start of the paclitaxel infusion. Dose of belinostat will be assigned at study entry. The same dose and level will remain throughout the entire study for each patient and no dose adjustment will be allowed, except due to toxicity.

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 belinostat in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patient with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who has received no prior systemic chemotherapy.

    At study entry each eligible patient will be assigned a specific dose level and dose of IV belinostat in mg/m2, to be administered daily on Days 1 to 5 each 21 day cycle, for up to 6 cycles. Dose escalation within each patient is not allowed during this study. At each dose level cohort of up to 6 patients may be evaluated during Cycle 1 of therapy. Multiple dose levels may be evaluated to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of IV belinostat, in combination with 6 cycles of IV carboplatin and paclitaxel, for chemo-naïve patients with Stage IV NSCLC.

    Measured: 24 Months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Safety and Tolerability when IV belinostat is administered in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with chemotherapy naïve Stage IV M1a or M1b NSCLC.

    Safety will be based on treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including DLTs will be graded by CTCAE version 4.02, and grouped by the MedDRA preferred term, and summarized by worst grade severity per patient. TEAEs are those adverse events that occur or worsen on or after first study treatment up through 30 days post last study treatment, and/or any treatment-related. Tolerability will be mainly characterized by the number and severity of treatment emergent adverse events, and treatment related AEs that occur or worsen after the first dose of study treatment. Deaths, non-fatal serious adverse events (SAEs), and other AEs leading to discontinuation of study treatment will be summarized.

    Measured: 24 Months

  2. Efficacy when IV belinostat is administered in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with chemotherapy naïve Stage IV M1a or M1b NSCLC

    Efficacy variable of this study is best overall response, using RECIST criteria - complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD), and not evaluable (NE) - as determined by the investigator.The efficacy endpoint is objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients with target lesions who achieve either a CR or a PR.

    Measured: 24 Months

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS) when IV belinostat is administered in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with chemotherapy naïve Stage IV M1a or M1b NSCLC

    progression-free survival (PFS) will be analyzed, defined as the duration of time from date of first study treatment to date of first documented progression or death from any cause. All treated patients will be included in the analysis of PFS. Patients without a documented progression or death will be censored at the last disease assessment.

    Measured: 24 Months

  4. Objective response rate (ORR) when IV belinostat is administered in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with chemotherapy naïve Stage IV M1a or M1b NSCLC.

    The efficacy endpoint is objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients with target lesions who achieve either a CR or a PR. A two-sided exact 95% confidence.

    interval (CI) will be calculated for ORR. For example, if 24 patients are to be treated, including 20 patients with target lesions at baseline, and 8 patient achieve a CR or a PR, then the response rate will be 40% with a 95% CI of [19%, 64%].

    Measured: 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Belinostat, Carboplatin, Paclitaxel in people with Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Acrotech Biopharma Inc. at 4 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 12 inclusion and 10 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 6 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 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 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 belinostat in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patient with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who has received no prior systemic chemotherapy. (time frame: 24 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 6 Jan 2020.
