Trial summary

The majority of small cell lung cancer(SCLC)(50-100%) express somatostatin receptors(type 1-5) with some small cell lung cancer express more than one subtypes. Stimulation of these SSTR's lead to inhibition of angiogenesis and cell growth. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of SOM230(PasireotideLAR) and Topotecan in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer

The majority of small cell lung cancer(SCLC)(50-100%) express somatostatin receptors(type 1-5) with some small cell lung cancer express more than one subtypes. Stimulation of these SSTR's lead to inhibition of angiogenesis and cell growth. SOM230 also lower levels of IGF which is known to contribute to SCLC proliferation. Topotecan is approved for second line therapy in relapsed small cell lung cancer. We hypothesized that combination of both agents should yield greater antitumor activity.

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives of this study is to assess the progression-free survival (PFS) with the combination of SOM230 and topotecan in patients with SCLC who relapsed or progressed after front-line chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide. The secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SOM230 in combination with topotecan in this population. The primary end point is progression free survival. The secondary objective is response rate duration of response , overall survival , safety and tolerability. Patient who is eligible for the study will received topotecan 1.5mg/m2 on day 1-5 and SOM230 60mg on day 1 every 28 days until tumor progression or toxicity limit further treatment. Contrast-enhanced CT scans will be performed at baseline and every 2 months (or sooner if clinically indicated) to assess the response, duration of response, and time to tumor progression Patients will be allowed to remain on therapy if treatment is tolerated and if there is no evidence of progression for a maximum of 1 year or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Topotecan and Pasireotide in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by South Florida Veterans Affairs Foundation for Research and Education 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 9 inclusion and 20 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2011. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Niramol Savaraj, M.D. (305-575-3143, nsavaraj@med.miami.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

progression free survival (time frame: 5 years). 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 16 Aug 2011.
