About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Surgery Plus Intraoperative Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) With Temoporfin in Patients With Resectable Primary Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Ipsilateral Thoracic Nodal (N1 or N2) or T3/T4 Disease

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy during surgery in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by surgery. Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as temoporfin, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, cancer cells are killed. This may be a better way to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To demonstrate that intraoperative adjuvant regional photodynamic therapy with low-dose temoporfin is safe.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Initial assessment of efficacy (i.e., 2-year disease free survival). II. To investigate the relationship between signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) levels, measured light dose and the clinical outcome.

III. Correlate the serum concentrations of vitamin D metabolites (25-hydroxyvitarnin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) with the presence of lymph node (LN) metastasis at the time of surgical resection.

IV. To measure temoporfin uptake in malignant and normal tissue.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of photodynamic therapy with temoporfin.

Patients receive temoporfin intravenously (IV) over no less than 6 minutes and then undergo standard surgical resection with intraoperative photodynamic therapy (PDT).

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose of PDT with temoporfin, defined as the dose level in which more than 1 of 6 patients experience a dose limiting toxicity using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Locoregional recurrence-free rate

    Estimated using simple relative frequencies. The corresponding 95% confidence interval for the estimated probability will be computed using the method proposed by Clopper and Pearson. Maximum likelihood estimation will be utilized in the model fitting procedures.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Overall survival

    Distribution will be obtained using the Kaplan-Meier method. Corresponding confidence intervals using the methodology of Brookmeyer and Crowley will be computed.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Progression free survival

    Distribution will be obtained using the Kaplan-Meier method. Corresponding confidence intervals using the methodology of Brookmeyer and Crowley will be computed.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Toxicity rate, using NCI CTCAE version 4

    Estimated using simple relative frequencies. The corresponding 95% confidence interval for the estimated probability will be computed using the method proposed by Clopper and Pearson. Maximum likelihood estimation will be utilized in the model fitting procedures.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Temoporfin, Therapeutic Conventional Surgery and Photodynamic Therapy in people with Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Stage IIA Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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 6 inclusion and 13 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 22 Jul 2022. 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 of PDT with temoporfin, defined as the dose level in which more than 1 of 6 patients experience a dose limiting toxicity using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4 (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 22 Jul 2022.
