About this study

Official title: A Pilot Clinical Trial of CPI-613 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC)

This pilot clinical trial studies CPI-613 (6,8-bis[benzylthio]octanoic acid) in treating patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer. CPI-613 may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the safety and anti-cancer activities in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have failed 1 or 2 lines of chemotherapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive CPI-613 intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on days 1 and 4 of weeks 1-3. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor response rates, defined as the proportion of patients who achieve complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD)

    The proportion of responders as the percent of patients who are SD, PR and CR will be estimated, as well as RR (sum of PR + CR) and disease control rate (DCR, which is the sum of SD, PR and CR). 95% confidence intervals will be included.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Survival curves for PFS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier techniques. In addition, the 6 month and 1-year PFS rates will be estimated. Median PFS will be estimated as well.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    Survival curves for OS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier techniques. In addition, the 6 month and 1-year OS rates will be estimated. Median OS will be estimated as well.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid in people with Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 14 inclusion and 14 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 3 Jul 2018. 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?

Tumor response rates, defined as the proportion of patients who achieve complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD) (time frame: Up to 3 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 3 Jul 2018.
