About this study

Official title: Double-Blind Randomized Phase II Trial of Carboplatin and Pemetrexed With or Without OGX-427 in Patients With Previously Untreated Stage IV Non-Squamous-Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (The Spruce Clinical Trial)

This randomized phase II study will compare the efficacy and safety of the combination of carboplatin and pemetrexed with and without OGX-427 in patients with previously untreated advanced non-squamous NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

Modern doublet chemotherapy improves survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with supportive care alone, with non-squamous NSCLC patients treated with platinum/pemetrexed living longer than patients treated with platinum/gemcitabine. Despite these advances, poor outcomes with advanced disease warrant exploration of novel drugs with unique mechanisms of action. Preclinical evidence in lung cancer models shows promising antitumor activity with OGX-427 in combination with platinum based therapy or pemetrexed. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase II study, pemetrexed and carboplatin plus OGX-427 followed by maintenance pemetrexed and OGX-427 will be compared with pemetrexed and carboplatin plus placebo followed by maintenance pemetrexed and placebo in patients with previously untreated advanced non-squamous NSCLC.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OGX-427Drug

    Also called apatorsen

    Three loading doses of 600mg OGX-427 will be administered intravenously (IV) during a 9 day period. Then 600mg IV OGX-427 will be given weekly on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 21 day cycle prior to the administration of pemetrexed (500mg/m^2 IV) and carboplatin (AUC 6 IV) on Day 1 of each cycle for a maximum of four treatment cycles. Patients who respond to treatment or have stable disease will continue to receive 600 mg IV OGX-427 plus 500mg/m2 IV pemetrexed weekly until toxicity or disease progression.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Three loading doses of placebo will be administered intravenously (IV) during a 9 day period. Then placebo (IV) will be given weekly on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 21 day cycle prior to the administration of pemetrexed (500mg/m^2 IV) and carboplatin (AUC 6 IV) on Day 1 of each cycle for a maximum of four treatment cycles. Patients who respond to treatment or have stable disease will continue to receive placebo (IV) plus 500mg/m2 IV pemetrexed weekly until toxicity or disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Median Progression-Free Survival

    Defined as the time (in months) from date of randomization to the date of first observation of progression based on radiological assessment by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1, or date of death from any cause, in the absence of progressive disease (PD) or censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. Progressive Disease is defined by RECIST v1.1 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest (nadir) sum while on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study), or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks for up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of OGX-427 Versus Placebo Participants With an Objective Response

    Defined as the number of patients with objective evidence of complete or partial response (CR or PR) using RECIST v 1.1. A CR is the complete disappearance of all target lesions. A PR is a decrease in baseline of 30% or more of the diameter(s) of all target lesions.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks for up to 24 months

  2. Median Overall Survival

    Defined as the time (in months) from date of randomization to date of death from any cause, or censored at the date last known alive.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks for up to 41 months

  3. Number of Patients With a Treatment-Related Adverse Event as a Measure of Safety.

    A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which was considered to have a relationship with the study drug (suspected to be possibly or probably related to the study drug per the Investigator's assessment). Adverse events were evaluated using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03.

    Measured: Weekly during each 21 days cycle and for 30 days after last dose for up to 29 Months

A Phase 2 study testing OGX-427 in people with Non Squamous Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 16 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 15 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 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Jun 2018). 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?

Median Progression-Free Survival (time frame: Every 6 weeks for up to 24 months). 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 NCT01829113, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 Jun 2018.
