Study groups in NCT01987232
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Carfilzomib CombinationExperimentalParticipants received carfilzomib on days 2, 3, 9, and 10 of each 21-day cycle as per the dose escalation schema, carboplatin at a target area under the curve (AUC) of 5 on day 1 of each cycle, and etoposide 100 mg/m² on days 1, 2, 3 of each 21-day cycle for up to 6 cycles. Participants with stable disease or better continued to receive carfilzomib alone until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, study closure, or death, whichever occurred earliest.
Receives: Drug: Carfilzomib; Drug: Carboplatin; Drug: Etoposide

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities

    The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was defined as the highest dose level at which < 33% of participants experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first 21-day cycle. Dose-limiting toxicities were evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.03. A DLT was defined as:

    • A grade 3 or greater non-hematologic toxicity that was assessed as related to carfilzomib by the investigator except in the case of neuropathy. A grade 2 or higher neuropathy with pain was considered a DLT.
    • Grade 4 neutropenia: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 500 mm³, lasting ≥ 7 days despite granulocyte colony stimulating factor support, or any febrile (temperature > 38.3°C) neutropenia (ANC < 1000 mm³).
    • Thrombocytopenia of any grade associated with clinically significant bleeding or platelet/blood transfusion
    • Grade 4 fatigue lasting ≥ 7 days
    • Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or diarrhea lasting ≥ 7 days.

    Measured: First 21-day Cycle

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    The severity of each adverse event was assessed using the NCI-CTCAE Version 4.03 according to the following:

    Grade 1 - Mild: Asymptomatic or mild symptoms; intervention not indicated

    Grade 2 - Moderate: Minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living (ADL)

    Grade 3 - Severe: Medically significant but not life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care ADL

    Grade 4 - Life-threatening

    Grade 5 - Fatal.

    A serious AE is an AE that met one or more of the following criteria:

    • Death
    • Life-threatening
    • Required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization
    • Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity
    • A congenital anomaly/birth defect
    • Important medical events that required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes above.

    Measured: From first day of any study treatment (i.e., carfilzomib, carboplatin, or etoposide) up to 30 days after the last day of study treatment. The median overall duration of treatment was 16 weeks.

  2. Overall Survival (OS) - Phase 2

    Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. Overall survival was a specified secondary endpoint for the phase 2 portion of the study; since phase 2was not conducted, OS was not analyzed.

    Measured: 30 months

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration - Phase 2

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses were specified as secondary endpoints for the phase 2 portion of the study; since phase 2 was not conducted, PK analyses were not performed.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 2

  4. Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration - Phase 2

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses were specified as secondary endpoints for the phase 2 portion of the study; since phase 2 was not conducted, PK analyses were not performed.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 2

  5. Area Under Plasma Concentration-Time Curve - Phase 2

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses were specified as secondary endpoints for the phase 2 portion of the study; since phase 2 was not conducted, PK analyses were not performed.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Carfilzomib, Carboplatin and Etoposide in people with Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer, run by Amgen at 17 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 28 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, Russia, Canada. 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 combined 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.

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 28 Aug 2017). 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?

Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (time frame: First 21-day Cycle). 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 28 Aug 2017.
