Who may be able to join

  • Known or suspected non-small cell lung cancer; patients without histologically or cytologically documented non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) must be estimated by their physician to have at least 75% probability of having NSCLC; the probability of malignancy will be predicted on the basis of known probabilities of individual clinical characteristics using a Bayesian model

  • Performance status 0-2
  • Bilirubin within normal limits
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Creatinine within normal limits or, if elevated, a creatinine clearance of at least 60 mL/min/m^2 (EF5 is primarily excreted via the kidney)
  • White blood cell (WBC) > 2000/mm^3
  • Platelets > 100,000/mm^3

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy or breast feeding; a negative serum pregnancy test is required of any woman of childbearing potential prior to enrollment; pregnant women are excluded from this study; breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with EF5

About this study

Official title: Pilot Phase II Research Study of EF5 to Measure Tumor Hypoxia in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This pilot phase II trial studies how well EF5 works in measuring lack of tumor oxygen, hypoxia, in patients with stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer. EF5 may be effective in measuring the lack of oxygen in lung tumors and may allow doctors to plan better treatment.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Assess the frequency and degree of hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

II. Correlate hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding with potential serum/plasma markers of hypoxia in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

III. Correlate hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding with tissue markers of hypoxia in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

IV. Correlate hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding with tumor angiogenesis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

  1. Correlated hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding with apoptosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

VI. Measure and characterize tumor perfusion in relationship to hypoxia in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

VII. Correlate tumor perfusion to microvessel density in tumor samples in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

VIII. Determine the longevity of EF5 adducts in human lung tumors.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive EF5 intravenously (IV) over 1-2.5 hours. Beginning 24-55 hours later, patients undergo tumor hypoxia measurement using a polarographic needle electrode and intraoperative tumor measurement before undergoing surgical biopsy or resection.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4-6 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency and degree of hypoxia using a polarographic needle electrode

    Measured: 55 hours post-EF5 infusion

  2. Serum/plasma markers of hypoxia

    Spearman's rank correlation will be used to examine the relationship between hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding with serum markers of hypoxia (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], D-Dimer, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 [PAI-1]).

    Measured: 55 hours post-EF5 infusion

  3. Tissue markers of hypoxia

    Spearman's rank correlation will be used to examine the relationship between hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding with tissue markers of hypoxia (hypoxia inducible factor 1 [HIF-1] alpha, involucrin).

    Measured: 55 hours post-EF5 infusion

  4. Tumor perfusion using dynamic positron emission tomography

    Spearman's rank correlation will be used to examine the relationship between hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding with tumor perfusion.

    Measured: 10 days prior to surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EF5, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Therapeutic Conventional Surgery in people with Stage IA Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Stage IB Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 2 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 9 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 13 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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?

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?

Frequency and degree of hypoxia using a polarographic needle electrode (time frame: 55 hours post-EF5 infusion). 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?
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 13 Apr 2015.
