About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of Cisplatin and Pemetrexed in Combination With Panobinostat in Advanced Solid Tumors, With Emphasis on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out if panobinostat taken with cisplatin and pemetrexed can be used safely without increasing side effects and that the combination will have a better effect than platinum-based doublet chemotherapy alone.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this phase I study of oral panobinostat plus cisplatin and pemetrexed is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in patients with advanced solid tumors, with an emphasis in non-small cell lung cancer. Another purpose of this study is to find out if oral panobinostat in combination with cisplatin and pemetrexed can be administered safely without significant increase in toxicity and that the combination will increase efficacy compared to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and feasibility of oral panobinostat in combination with cisplatin and pemetrexed

    Safety assessments will consist of monitoring and recording all adverse events and serious adverse events, the regular monitoring of hematology, blood chemistry and urine values, regular measurement of vital signs and the performance of physical examination. Safety and tolerability will be assessed according to the NCI CTCAE v4.

    Measured: Within ±3 days of the scheduled day of assessment except for adverse events that will be evaluated continuously through the study. The expected time frame for this outcome measure is 18 weeks (or six cycles)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Maximum-tolerated dose as assessed by NCI CTCAE, Version 4.0

    Determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be based on cycle 1 toxicities

    Measured: 3 week cycle; the expected time frame is 18 weeks (or 6 cycles)

  2. Dose-limiting toxicities and toxicity profile as assessed by NCI CTCAE, Version 4.0

    Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) will be based on cycle 1 toxicities.

    Measured: 3 week cycle; the expected time frame is 18 weeks (or 6 cycles)

  3. Exploratory biomarker analysis

    Molecular markers predictive for response to panobinostat remain unknown. This trial offers the opportunity to retrospectively study biomarkers and their association with clinical outcomes.

    Measured: Blood specimens will be collected prior to treatment, prior to Cycles 2-6. In addition, a blood specimen will be collected if the patient is removed from the study due to progression of disease. the expected time frame is 18 weeks (or 6 cycles)

  4. Efficacy of oral panobinostat in combination with cisplatin/pemetrexed in an expanded cohort of patients with NSCLC

    Response rate will be assessed by CT scan. CT scans will be performed at baseline and every two cycles. The evaluation of response will be based on standard RECIST criteria.

    Measured: CT scans will be performed at baseline and every two cycles; the expected time frame is 18 weeks (or 6 cycles)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Panobinostat, Cisplatin, Pemetrexed in people with Solid Tumors and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), run by University of California, Davis at 2 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 23 inclusion and 14 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 9 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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.

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?

Safety and feasibility of oral panobinostat in combination with cisplatin and pemetrexed (time frame: Within ±3 days of the scheduled day of assessment except for adverse events that will be evaluated continuously through the study. The expected time frame for this outcome measure is 18 weeks (or six cycles)). 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 9 Jan 2018.
