About this study

Official title: A RANDOMIZED PHASE I/II STUDY OF NAB-PACLITAXEL, OR PACLITAXEL, PLUS CARBOPLATIN WITH CONCURRENT RADIATION THERAPY FOLLoWED BY CONSOLIDATION IN PATIENTS WITH FAVORABLE PROGNOSIS INOPERABLE STAGE IIIA/B NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC)

The investigators propose this phase I/II study to use weekly Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) and carboplatin with concurrent radiation in local-regionally advanced lung cancer. There are no published human studies combining Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) with radiation. The investigators will first confirm the tolerated dose (TD) of concurrent Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) at 50mg/m2, and then will begin enrolling patients into the phase II component using either Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) at the TD with carboplatin concurrent with daily radiation or paclitaxel with carboplatin concurrent with daily radiation.

What is being measured

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

  1. 2-year Overall Survival (Phase II)

    2-year overall survival, as measured (by Kaplan-Meir method) as the percentage of patients who were randomized and received carboplatin/paclitaxel or carboplatin/nab-paclitaxel with radiation therapy survived for 2 years.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. The Feasibility of Concurrent Carboplatin/Nab-Paclitaxel and Radiation Therapy

    The feasibility as measured by the number of participants who had grade 3 or higher radiation related esophagitis or pulmonary toxicity or chemotherapy related grade 4 hematological or other non-hematological toxicities occurring within 60 days of the start of treatment; compliance us defined as the completion of the treatment regimen with no more than minor variations.

    Measured: 60 days of the start of treatment

  2. Overall Response Rate for the Patients Receiving Carboplatin/ Paclitaxel or Carboplatin/ Nab-paclitaxel With Radiation Therapy

    The objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST1.1) criteria

    Measured: 1,6,12,18,24 month

  3. Proportion of Participants With Progression-free Survival (Phase II)

    Proportion of participants with progression free survival at 2 years is computed as the percentage of participants between randomization and local or regional progression, distant metastases, death, or last known follow-up. Estimates of progression free survival will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meir method.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Median Overall Survival (Phase II)

    Median overall survival was based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the time from study entry to death or censored at date last known alive.

    Measured: every 6 months up to 24 months (approx. 22 months)

  5. EuroQol-5Dimension (EQ-5D) MUS Score at Baseline

    EQ-5D is a two-part questionnaire. The first part of mean utility score (MUS) consists of five items addressing five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension can be graded on three levels: 1-no problems, 2- slight problems, and 3-moderate problems, 4-severe problems, 5-extreme problems.

    Possible score ranges from 5-25 with higher scores indicating worse outcome.Both the five-item index score and the VAS score are transformed into a utility score between 0-"worst health state" and 1-"best health state."

    Measured: Baseline

  6. EuroQol-5Dimension (EQ-5D) MUS Score at End of Treatment

    EQ-5D is a two-part questionnaire. The first part of mean utility score (MUS) consists of five items addressing five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension can be graded on three levels: 1-no problems, 2- slight problems, and 3-moderate problems, 4-severe problems, 5-extreme problems.

    Possible score ranges from 5-25 with higher scores indicating worse outcome. Both the five-item index score and the VAS score are transformed into a utility score between 0-"worst health state" and 1-"best health state."

    Measured: End of treatment (6 weeks)

  7. EuroQol-5Dimension (EQ-5D) VAS Score at Baseline

    The second part of the EQ-5D is a visual analogue scale (VAS) valuing current health state, measured on a 20-cm 10-point-interval scale.

    Worst imaginable health state is scored as 0 at the bottom of the scale, and best imaginable health state is scored as 100 at the top.

    Possible score ranges from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline

  8. EuroQol-5Dimension (EQ-5D) VAS Score at End of Treatment

    The second part of the EQ-5D is a visual analogue scale (VAS) valuing current health state, measured on a 20-cm 10-point-interval scale.

    Worst imaginable health state is scored as 0 at the bottom of the scale, and best imaginable health state is scored as 100 at the top.

    Possible score ranges from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better outcome.

    Measured: End of Treatment (6 weeks)

  9. EuroQol-5Dimension (EQ-5D) VAS Score at 24 Month Follow up

    The second part of the EQ-5D is a visual analogue scale (VAS) valuing current health state, measured on a 20-cm 10-point-interval scale.

    Worst imaginable health state is scored as 0 at the bottom of the scale, and best imaginable health state is scored as 100 at the top.

    Possible score ranges from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better outcome.

    Measured: 24 month follow up

  10. EuroQol-5Dimension (EQ-5D) MUS Score at 24 Month

    EQ-5D is a two-part questionnaire. The first part of mean utility score (MUS) consists of five items addressing five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension can be graded on three levels: 1-no problems, 2- slight problems, and 3-moderate problems, 4-severe problems, 5-extreme problems.

    Possible score ranges from 5-25 with higher scores indicating worse outcome.Both the five-item index score and the VAS score are transformed into a utility score between 0-"worst health state" and 1-"best health state."

    Measured: 24 month follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing NAB-PACLITAXEL and PACLITAXEL in people with STAGE IIIA/B NSCLC / INOPERABLE LUNG CANCER, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 5 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 28 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 combined 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.

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 5 Oct 2021). 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?

2-year Overall Survival (Phase II) (time frame: 2 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 28 Oct 2021.
