About this study

Official title: LCCC 1210 - Phase II, Multicenter, Single Arm Study of the Tolerability of Weekly Nab-paclitaxel as Second Line Treatment for Elderly Patients With Advanced Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly nab-paclitaxel for a second-line treatment in elderly subjects, 70 years of age or greater, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

Read the detailed description

This will be a non-randomized phase II study evaluating the safety and efficacy of weekly nab-paclitaxel for second-line treatment in 42 elderly patients, who are 70 years of age or greater with non-small cell lung cancer (NSLC). Patients will be required to have progressed on a single prior regimen. Nab-paclitaxel 100mg/m2 will be administered intravenously, weekly for 3 weeks of every 4-week cycle. After every two cycles of therapy, imaging will be performed to assess for response. Patients will be eligible to continue receiving therapy until the time of disease progression.

Primary Objectives To evaluate the tolerability of weekly nab-paclitaxel in older adults with advanced lung cancer who have progressed on at least 1 prior regimen after 6 cycles or 3 weeks after discontinuation of treatment, for those who come off treatment earlier.

Secondary Objectives To estimate overall survival To estimate progression-free survival To estimate the response rate

Correlative Objectives To explore baseline components of the Geriatric Assessment (GA) as predictors of chemotherapy tolerance and overall survival To explore the use of p16 measurements in the elderly as predictors of chemotherapy tolerance and overall survival To explore the impact of weekly nab-paclitaxel treatment on quality of life, as measured by Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Without Any Adverse Events Grade 3 or Higher

    Tolerability of weekly nab-paclitaxel, as measured by occurrence of Grade 3 or worse toxicity after 6 cycles or 3 weeks after discontinuation of treatment, for those who came off treatment earlier as measured by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events CTCAE, version 4. The CTCAE is a descriptive terminology utilized for Adverse Event (AE) reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each AE term. Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL. Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 Death related to AE.

    Measured: 168 days after start of treatment (6 cycles) (or 3 weeks after discontinuation of treatment, for those who come off treatment earlier)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Median Overall Survival

    Overall Survival is defined as the time from day 1 (D1) of treatment until death as a result of any cause

    Measured: up to 2 years after end of treatment (treatment lasts up to 168 days (up to 6 cycles of 28 days each))

  2. Median Progression Free Survival

    Progression free survival is defined as the time from D1 of treatment until progression or death as a result of any cause. Progressive Disease (PD) is determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. PD is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters (LD) of the target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started including baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters. The appearance of one or more new lesions also constitutes PD.

    Measured: up to 2 years after end of treatment (treatment lasts up to 168 days (up to 6 cycles of 28 days each))

  3. Overall Response Rate

    Response will be measured by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) version 1.1, indicating if subject experienced a Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. The Overall Response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with CR or PR

    Measured: 168 days after start of treatment (6 cycles) (or 3 weeks after discontinuation of treatment, for those who come off treatment earlier)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nab-Paclitaxel in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at 8 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 20 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 8 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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 8 Oct 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?

Number of Subjects Without Any Adverse Events Grade 3 or Higher (time frame: 168 days after start of treatment (6 cycles) (or 3 weeks after discontinuation of treatment, for those who come off treatment earlier)). 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 8 Oct 2020.
