About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Treatment With Oral Mifepristone as Salvage Therapy in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Failed Two or More Previous Chemotherapy Regimens

This is a non-randomized, multicenter, single-stage phase II study of mifepristone in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have failed two or more previous chemotherapy regimens.

The Investigator plans to enroll 18 evaluable patients in Stage 1, and additionally up to 22 evaluable patients in Stage 2 for a total of 40 evaluable patients. Participants will be followed for overall survival. Current salvage therapy in advanced NSCLC achieves a median progression free survival time of 10 weeks and overall survival of 10 months. The Investigator would like to provide evidence that mifepristone will increase the median progression-free survival time to 15 weeks and overall survival time of 16 months.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-randomized, multicenter, single-stage phase II study of mifepristone in patients with Stage IIIB or Stage IV NSCLC who have failed two or more previous chemotherapy regimens.

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the utility of mifepristone as a salvage therapy in patients with Stage IIIB or Stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma who have failed at least two previous chemotherapy regimens. Efficacy will be measured by improvement in progression-free survival and life span; and overall response as compared to historical controls.

Plan to enroll 18 evaluable patients in Stage 1 and up to 22 evaluable patients in Stage 2 for a total of 40 evaluable patients. Anticipated duration of the study is approximately up to 36 months.

Patients who tolerate treatment in the first cycle are eligible to continue to receive treatment until they experience unacceptable toxicity, until they meet any of the withdrawal criteria, or until the study is terminated by the Sponsor.

Patient may continue treatment despite evidence of tumor progression if they feel better, i.e. improved quality of life.We will follow all patients for overall survival.

Current salvage therapy in advanced NSCLC achieves a median progression free survival time of 10 weeks and overall survival of 10 months. We would like to provide evidence that mifepristone will increase the median progression-free survival time to 15 weeks and overall survival time of 16 months.

What participants receive

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

  • MifepristoneDrug

    Also called KORLYM®, C1073, CORLUXIN™ and CORLUX™.

    Mifepristone is an antagonist of the GR-II (glucocorticoid) receptor, yet has little affinity for the GR-I (mineralocorticoid) receptor. Mifepristone is also a potent antagonist at the progesterone receptor, and may block the androgen receptor to a limited degree.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    defined as the time from first dose of study drug to the date of death

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 16 months

  2. A. Improvement in Quality of Life (QoL)

    Participants complete QoL questionnaire EROTC QLQ-C30 every 8 weeks

    Measured: every 8 weeks from date of enrollment until end of study or the date of death from any cause, assessed using QoL questionnaire,assessed up to 56 months.

  3. B. Improvement in Quality of Life (QoL)

    Participants complete QoL questionnaire EROTC QLQ-LC13 (specific to lung cancer)

    Measured: every 8 weeks from date of enrollment until end of study or the date of death from any cause, assessed using QoL questionnaire,assessed up to 56 months.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression free survival

    defined as the time from first dose of study drug to the date of the first documented tumor progression (per RECIST 1.1) or death due to any cause

    Measured: median of 15 weeks from study enrollment until end of study or the date of first documented progression, assessed every 12 weeks by radiologic examination,assessed up to 56 months.

  2. Overall response rate

    defined as the number of subjects whose best confirmed objective response is either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by the number of randomized subjects

    Measured: assessed every 4 weeks, from date of enrollment until end of study or the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 56 months.

  3. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    to determine any toxicity from the drug at the 300 mg dosage.

    Measured: assessed every week for 1 month and then every 4 weeks, from date of enrollment until end of study or the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 56 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Mifepristone in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), run by Check, Jerome H., M.D., Ph.D. 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 22 inclusion and 19 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2020. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: through study completion, an average of 16 months). The study lists 3 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 19 Oct 2020.
