About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Randomized Phase I/II Trial of Carboplatin Plus Etoposide With ot Without MPDL3280A in Untreated Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is an open-label study with two parts, a Phase I study and a randomized Phase II study. This study will be conducted at approximately ten sites in the United States. Approximately 178 patients will be enrolled in this trial.

Read the detailed description

Combining standard chemotherapy with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor holds great appeal in the treatment of SCLC. While this approach may be appropriate for many cancer types, SCLC may be particularly vulnerable to this treatment strategy. Early studies have suggested greater efficacy with agents targeting PD-1/PD-L1 in tumors that are more mutationally complex, such as those associated with tobacco use. SCLC has a strong association with tobacco use and indeed, genome-wide sequencing studies have consistently shown that SCLC carries one of the highest rates of non-synonymous mutations. In addition, MPDL3280A has been safely combined with platinum based chemotherapy doublets in the treatment of NSCLC. Thus, a combination of carboplatin, etoposide and MPDL3280A may significantly improve outcomes in the treatment of SCLC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Carboplatin, Etoposide and MPDL3280A in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer ( SCLC ), run by Giuseppe Giaccone 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 26 inclusion and 42 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 2 Jul 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 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 2 Jul 2018). 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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) With Carboplatin, Etoposide and MPDL3280A Compared to Chemotherapy Alone According to RECIST v1.1 (time frame: From the first occurrence of progression or death, whichever occurred first, assessed up to 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 NCT02748889, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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 Jul 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
