About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Study of Suramin and Docetaxel Versus Docetaxel in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer After Failure of First-Line Chemotherapy

The overall purpose of the study is to determine whether or not the inclusion of suramin to standard treatment with docetaxel improves progression-free survival for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in the second and third line settings.

Read the detailed description

The overall purpose of the study is to determine whether or not the inclusion of suramin to standard treatment with docetaxel improves progression-free survival for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in the second and third line settings.

Secondary objectives include:

  • To compare response rate of patients in both treatment arms
  • To compare overall survival of patients in both treatment arms
  • To compare toxicity in both treatment arms
  • To determine whether the survival benefit from suramin is associated with reduced M-phase entry in peripheral blood lymphocytes
Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival in Months

    Compare progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with advanced NSCLC treated with docetaxel with or without suramin after failure of first-line chemotherapy. PFS is defined as the duration of time from the time of randomization to time of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Response Rate Per RECIST 1.1 Criteria

    Response rate per RECIST 1.1, as follows:

    Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all extranodal target lesions. All pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 mm in short axis Partial response (PR): At least 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameters (SLD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters Progressive disease (PD): SLD increased by at least 20% from the smallest value on study (including baseline, if that is smallest). The SLD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Two lesions increasing from 2mm to 3mm, for example, does not qualify).

    Stable disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR not sufficient increase to qualify for PD

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Overall Survival

    Compare overall survival of participants in both treatment arms.

    Measured: Up to 50 months

  3. Number of Participants With Toxicity/Adverse Events From Treatment

    The investigators will compare the toxicity profiles of the two arms of therapy to determine if the docetaxel + suramin has a more favorable toxicity profile than docetaxel alone. This count includes only adverse events considered definitely, probably, or possibly due to treatment.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Evaluation of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes for DNA Damage-induced Checkpoint Control.

    The investigators hypothesize that suramin in combination with docetaxel improves response rates and survival by increasing the cancer cell population in the M phase of the cell cycle. The G2-M checkpoint control score, defined as (%M-phase arrested cells after cisplatin+suramin)/(%M-phase arrested cells after cisplatin), is an indicator of the effect of suramin on cell accumulation in the M-phase. G2-M checkpoint control was evaluated as a predictor of PFS and OS in participant receiving suramin by linear correlation.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and Suramin in people with Carcinoma, Non Small Cell Lung, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison 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 10 inclusion and 5 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 12 May 2020. 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 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 May 2020). 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?

Progression-free Survival in Months (time frame: Up to 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 12 May 2020.
