Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Cytologically and/or histologically confirmed small-cell lung cancer with extensive-stage disease
  • Patients must have measurable disease, this can include brain metastases
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-1
  • Adequate bone marrow function, as defined by: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1,500/µL; platelets >100,000/µL; hemoglobin >=9.0 g/dL
  • Normal organ function, defined as follows: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <=2.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN), or AST and ALT <=5 × the ULN if liver function abnormalities are due to underlying malignancy; total serum bilirubin <=1.5 × the ULN; serum creatinine <=1.5 × the ULN
  • Women of childbearing potential and men with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use a form of birth control that is acceptable to their physician to prevent pregnancy during treatment
  • Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and sign an informed consent form

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Patients receiving other investigational agents
  • Patients with leptomeningeal involvement
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) based upon current CDC definition or HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy. However, HIV testing is not required for entry into this protocol. The need to exclude patients with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow- suppressive therapy. Excluding patients on HAART is necessary due to the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with temozolomide.

About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study of Temozolomide as Maintenance Therapy After Initial Induction Chemotherapy in Small Cell Lung Cancer

Temozolomide, a nonclassic oral alkylating agent, may delay progression in sequence with chemotherapy. This phase II trial was designed to evaluate the role of Temozolomide following 4 or 6 cycles of first-line treatment in patients with newly diagnosed SCLC.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will receive standard of care treatment for SCLC with added treatment of maintenance temozolomide. Efficacy and safety of temozolomide and one year survival and time to progression of patients will be recorded.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01900951
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TemozolomideExperimentalPatients in the study will receive the following for the duration of the study:First-line chemotherapy according to the NCCN guidelines. The study will consist of 21-day cycles, to a maximum of 6 cycles of therapy for the first-line chemotherapy. After first-line treatment, temozolomide will be given alone as maintenance therapy in all patients who have achieved study entry hematologic criteria and who do not have progressive disease or severe toxicity. During temozolomide maintenance therapy, patients will receive temozolomide at 150mg/m2/d for 5 days of a 28-day cycle orally daily. Temozolomide maintenance therapy will continue until progressive disease or irreversible toxicity occurs. Re-staging will be performed every 2 cycles (every 8 weeks) during the study
Receives: Drug: Temozolomide

What is being measured

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

  1. One-year progress free survival

    The Percentage of Patients Who Are Progress Free One Year After Completing Protocol Treatment

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Safety

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Measured: 18 months

  3. time to progression

    the interval between the start date of treatment and the date of occurrence of progressive disease

    Measured: from the start date of treatment until the date of occurrence of progressive disease

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Temozolomide in people with Carcinoma, Small Cell, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

One-year progress free survival (time frame: 18 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 Jan 2016.
