About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Combination Nab-Paclitaxel and Nintedanib or Nab-paclitaxel and Placebo in Relapsed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Adenocarcinoma

A PHASE I/II TRIAL OF COMBINATION NAB-PACLITAXEL AND NINTEDANIB OR NAB-PACLITAXEL AND PLACEBO IN RELAPSED NSCLC ADENOCARCINOMA

Read the detailed description

The study is divided into 2 parts: Part 1 is the Phase Ib portion of the trial and Part 2 is the Phase II portion of the trial. Once the Trial Steering Committee has completed the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) assessment for Part 1 and confirmed RP2D for Part 2, Part 2 enrolment will proceed. The objective(s) for each part are as follows:

Part 1: The objective of Part 1 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination nab-paclitaxel and nintedanib in patients with stage IIIb and IV adenocarcinoma of the lung in second and third treatment line setting and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of nintedanib when given with nab-paclitaxel at 100mg/m2 d1, d8 q21.

Part 2: The primary objective of Part 2 is to explore the efficacy of combination nab-paclitaxel and nintedanib versus nab-paclitaxel and placebo in the same patient population, with nintedanib/placebo given at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) as defined during part 1 of the study.

What is being measured

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

    To define Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during Cycle 1

    Measured: 1 and 2 years from patients commencement

  1. Part 1 and 2: Adverse Events Review

    To examine the frequency of all Adverse Events graded by NCI-CTCAE version 4.0

    Measured: 4 years from Start date of trial

  2. Part 1 and 2: RECIST Response

    To examine the objective tumour response according to RECIST 1.1

    Measured: 4 years from start date of trial

  3. Cycles Tolerated

    To define the number of cycles of nab-paclitaxel with nintedanib given

    Measured: 4 years from start date of trial

  4. Part 2: Overall Survival

    To examine overall survival in the ITT and predefined subgroups (PD pre/post 9 months from start of first line chemotherapy; prior or no prior immunotherapy).

    Measured: 9 months post Chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Vargatef and Abraxane in people with NSCLC, Recurrent and Adenocarcinoma of Lung, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.

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 12 inclusion and 36 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Part 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (time frame: 1 and 2 years from patients commencement). 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 24 Nov 2020.
