About this study

The goal of Part 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest dose of (Imbruvica) ibrutinib that can be given to patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal of Part 2 of this clinical research study is to learn if the dose of ibrutinib found in Part 1 can help to control the disease.

The safety of this drug will also be studied in both parts of the study.

Read the detailed description

Study Groups:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be assigned to a study group based on when you join this study. Up to 4 groups of up to 6 participants will be enrolled in Part 1 of the study, and up to19 participants will be enrolled in Part 2.

If you are enrolled in Part 1, the dose of ibrutinib you receive will depend on when you join this study. The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level of ibrutinib. Each new group will receive a higher dose of ibrutinib than the group before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. This will continue until the highest tolerable dose of ibrutinib is found.

If you are enrolled in Part 2, you will receive ibrutinib at the highest dose that was tolerated in Part 1.

Study Drug Administration:

You will take ibrutinib pills 1 time each day, at about the same time every day. You may take your dose of ibrutinib with or without food.

Study Visits:

Each cycle is 4 weeks.

On Day 1 of all cycles:

  • You will have a physical exam
  • Blood (about 3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • On Cycle 2 only, blood (about 1 teaspoon each time) will be drawn for pharmacokinetic (PK) testing before your dose and then 4 more times over the next 6 hours after your dose. PK testing measure the amount of study drug in the body at different timepoints.
  • If you the doctor thinks it is needed, blood (about ½ teaspoon) or urine will be collected for pregnancy testing.

Every 8 weeks, you will have a CT, MRI, or x-ray to check the status of the disease. You will have the same type of scan performed as you did at screening.

Length of Study:

You may continue taking the study drug for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur, or if you are unable to follow study directions.

Your participation on the study will be over after the follow-up visits.

End-of-Dosing Visit:

About 30 days after your last dose of study drug:

  • You will have a physical exam.
  • Blood (about 3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • If you the doctor thinks it is needed, blood (about ½ teaspoon) or urine will be collected for pregnancy testing.

Follow Up Visits:

Every 6 months you will be asked to come into the clinic or you will be called by a member of the study staff to ask how you are doing and if you have started any new anti-cancer treatments. If you are called, it should take about 10 minutes.

This is an investigational study. Ibrutinib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). It is considered investigational to use this drug to treat NSCLC. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work.

Up to 43 participants will be enrolled on this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IbrutinibExperimentalParticipants in Part 1 receive dose level of Ibrutinib depending on study joined. First group of participants receive lowest dose level of Ibrutinib. Each new group receives a higher dose of Ibrutinib than the group before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. This continues until highest tolerable dose of Ibrutinib is found. Participants in Part 2 receive Ibrutinib at highest dose that was tolerated in Part 1 or 840 mg daily. Starting level of Ibrutinib: 560 mg by mouth daily in a 28 day cycle.
Receives: Drug: Ibrutinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With at Least One Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Observed During the Dose Escalation to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Number of DLT observed at dose levels 560 (starting dose) and 840 mg PO daily to determine the MTD using the 3+3 design.

    Measured: First cycle of 28 days

  2. Overall Response Rate in Patients With EGFR Mutations Using RECIST

    Complete response and partial resopnse rate RECIST 1.1 criteria The response was evaluated after two cycles of therapy and every 8 weeks until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented, up to 2 years.

    Measured: after two cycles of therapy and every 8 weeks, up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death.

    Measured: from start of treatment to time of progression or death, up to 2 years

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: from start of treatment to time progression or death, whichever occurs first, up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Ibrutinib in people with Lung Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 11 inclusion and 10 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 25 Oct 2023. 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 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 25 Oct 2023). 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 at Least One Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Observed During the Dose Escalation to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: First cycle of 28 days). The study lists 2 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 25 Oct 2023.
