About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of BKM120 in Combination With Carboplatin and Pemetrexed in Patients With Advanced Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of PI3K inhibitor BKM120 when given together with carboplatin and pemetrexed disodium in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. PI3K inhibitor BKM120 and pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving PI3K inhibitor BKM120, carboplatin, and pemetrexed disodium together may kill more tumor cells

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BKM120 (PI3K inhibitor BKM120) that can be administered in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed (pemetrexed disodium) in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

II. To define the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and other toxicities associated with the use of combination BKM120 and carboplatin and pemetrexed.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of BKM120, when used in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed.

II. To obtain preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity with this combination.

III. To evaluate downstream inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) pathway.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of PI3K inhibitor BKM120. Patients receive pemetrexed disodium intravenously (IV) over 10 minutes followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1, and PI3K inhibitor BKM120 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may receive courses of PI3K inhibitor BKM120 alone or PI3K inhibitor BKM120 and pemetrexed disodium after 4-6 courses with carboplatin in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 28 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PI3K inhibitor BKM120, pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin in people with Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by City of Hope Medical Center 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 21 inclusion and 50 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 20 Sep 2016. 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 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?

Maximum tolerated dose, defined as the highest dose in which fewer than 33% of study participants experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT), graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE version 4.0 (time frame: 21 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01723800.

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 20 Sep 2016.
