About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Combination Checkpoint Inhibitor Plus Targeted Inhibitor (Erlotinib or Crizotinib) for EGFR or ALK Mutated Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Phase Ib With Expansion Cohorts

The goals of the overall study are to evaluate a recommended phase 2 dose and the short and long term toxicities of the combinations. This is a modified phase I trial of immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with mutation - specific targeted therapy (crizotinib or erlotinib) at conventional doses stratified for presence of ALK (Anaplastic lymphoma kinase) or EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutation.

The goals of the overall study are to evaluate a recommended phase 2 dose and the short and long term toxicities of the combinations.

Being tested
Ipilimumab, Erlotinib, Crizotinib, Nivolumab
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What is being measured

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

  1. toxicity of ipilimumab and erlotinib in EGFR mutated patients

    The immune-related response criteria (irRC) incorporate several elements reflecting the complex tumor dynamics of ipilimumab/nivolumab treatment. Under these criteria, a measure of tumor volume is used that incorporates the contribution of new measurable lesions. Each net percentage change in tumor burden per assessment using irRC accounts for the size and growth kinetics of both old and new lesions as they appear. New lesions alone do not qualify as immune-related progressive disease.

    Measured: 36 months

  2. toxicity of ipilimumab and crizotinib in ALK mutated patients

    The immune-related response criteria (irRC) incorporate several elements reflecting the complex tumor dynamics of ipilimumab/nivolumab treatment. Under these criteria, a measure of tumor volume is used that incorporates the contribution of new measurable lesions. Each net percentage change in tumor burden per assessment using irRC accounts for the size and growth kinetics of both old and new lesions as they appear. New lesions alone do not qualify as immune-related progressive disease.

    Measured: 36 months

    The immune-related response criteria (irRC) incorporate several elements reflecting the complex tumor dynamics of ipilimumab/nivolumab treatment. Under these criteria, a measure of tumor volume is used that incorporates the contribution of new measurable lesions. Each net percentage change in tumor burden per assessment using irRC accounts for the size and growth kinetics of both old and new lesions as they appear. New lesions alone do not qualify as immune-related progressive disease.

    The immune-related response criteria (irRC) incorporate several elements reflecting the complex tumor dynamics of ipilimumab/nivolumab treatment. Under these criteria, a measure of tumor volume is used that incorporates the contribution of new measurable lesions. Each net percentage change in tumor burden per assessment using irRC accounts for the size and growth kinetics of both old and new lesions as they appear. New lesions alone do not qualify as immune-related progressive disease.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Response rate

    Measured: 36 months

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Measured: 36 months

  3. Overall Survival

    Measured: 36 months

  4. immune function pre and post immune therapy

    The immune-related response criteria (irRC) incorporate several elements reflecting the complex tumor dynamics of ipilimumab treatment. Under these criteria, a measure of tumor volume is used that incorporates the contribution of new measurable lesions. Each net percentage change in tumor burden per assessment using irRC accounts for the size and growth kinetics of both old and new lesions as they appear. New lesions alone do not qualify as immune-related progressive disease.

    In this study, immune-related response criteria (irRC) will be used to assess subject response to study treatment per investigator assessment. The secondary endpoint irPFS will be determined based on investigator assessment. In order to adequately address this secondary objective, investigators will follow the clinical practice guidelines to obtain additional tumor assessments beyond mWHO PD and follow the instructions in this section for the determination of immune-related response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ipilimumab, Erlotinib and Crizotinib in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Utah 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 12 inclusion and 16 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 2 Apr 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?

toxicity of ipilimumab and erlotinib in EGFR mutated patients (time frame: 36 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01998126, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Apr 2018.
