About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study of IV Topotecan Versus CRLX101 in the Second Line Treatment of Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer

This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving topotecan hydrochloride or cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101 works in treating patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet know whether topotecan hydrochloride is more effective than cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101 in treating patients with lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the effect of second-line treatment with CRLX101 (cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101) compared to intravenous (IV) topotecan hydrochloride (topotecan) on progression free survival (PFS) of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) sensitive to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

II. To evaluate the effect of second-line treatment with CRLX101 on the three-month PFS rate of patients with ES-SCLC resistant to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the response rate of second-line treatment with CRLX101 in patients with ES-SCLC who are sensitive or resistant to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

II. To evaluate the effect of second-line treatment with CRLX101 compared to IV topotecan on overall survival (OS) of patients with ES-SCLC sensitive to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

III. To assess the overall survival of second-line treatment with CRLX101 in patients with ES-SCLC resistant to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

IV. To assess the toxicity of second-line CRLX101 in patients sensitive or resistant to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.

COHORT A (Sensitive Relapse): Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM A: Patients receive topotecan hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101 IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

COHORT B (Resistant Relapse): Patients receive cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101 as in Arm B Cohort A. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks and then every 3 months thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing topotecan hydrochloride and cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101 in people with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer and Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Chicago 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 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2020. 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 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 14 Apr 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 (time frame: 12 months). 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 26 Jun 2020.
