About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Certolizumab in Combination With Chemotherapy for Patients With Stage IV Lung Adenocarcinomas

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of certolizumab when it is given with the chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and pemetrexed. Cisplatin and pemetrexed are two chemotherapy drugs used in the treatment of lung cancer. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, certolizumab has on the patient and lung cancer.

Being tested
Certolizumab, cisplatin, pemetrexed
Keywords

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02120807
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
certolizumab, cisplatin and pemetrexedExperimentalPatients will receive certolizumab with 6 cycles of cisplatin \& pemetrexed. Cycle of chemo will be 3 weeks. Certolizumab will be adm in the following fashion: first dose administered at the time of treatment initiation, second dose will be given after 2 weeks of treatment, third dose after four weeks of treatment, \& subsequent doses given every 4 weeks thereafter. Patients will be monitored for progression of disease using RECIST 1.1 with scans to be performed every 6 weeks. Posttreatment biopsies will be performed at the time of treatment discontinuation. Two dose levels of certolizumab will be tested, 200mg \& 400mg. A non-therapeutic cohort of 10 patients with adenocarcinomas who will be undergoing standard of care treatment with platinum based chemotherapy + pemetrexed +/- bevacizumab will be consented for blood draws before each cycle of treatment. This blood will be analyzed for cytokines and will serve as a reference for the experimental arm.
Receives: Drug: Certolizumab; Drug: cisplatin; Drug: pemetrexed

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated does (MTD)

    A standard 3+3 dose-escalation scheme will be used to test two doses of certolizumab: dose level A (200mg) and dose level B (400mg), in combination with the standard dose of chemotherapy. In addition, two de-escalation doses are planned, if dose level A proves too toxic: dose level C (chemotherapy at 75% of the standard dose + certolizumab 200mg) and dose level D (chemotherapy at 75% of the standard dose + certolizumab 400mg)..The MTD is the highest dose at which ≤ 1/6 patients experiences a DLT. Please see the dose escalation schema for exact dose level details.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Patients will be followed from the first drug administration until disease progression (by RECIST 1.1) or death, whichever comes first. Patients alive who have not progressed by the end of the study time will be censored at the time of the last available follow-up. PFS probability will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Immunohistochemical staining

    Biopsies will be performed pre- and post-treatment in all patients and will undergo immunohistochemical staining of TNF-alpha, CXCL1/2, and S100A8/9. Staining will be scored from 0-4. The difference in IHC score from post-treatment to baseline will be compared between patients who have, at minimum, evidence of stable disease during treatment (CR+PR+SD) and the remaining patients, using non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank test.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Certolizumab, cisplatin and pemetrexed in people with Stage IV Lung Adenocarcinoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 6 sites 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 19 inclusion and 15 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 26 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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 does (MTD) (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT02120807.

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 2023.
