Topotecan and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer
A Phase 2 study testing paclitaxel, topotecan hydrochloride and radiation therapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 19 sites in 2 countries.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of topotecan and paclitaxel in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory small cell… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phase II Trial of Topotecan and Paclitaxel in Previously Treated Patients With Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of topotecan and paclitaxel in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory small cell lung cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the toxicity of combination topotecan and paclitaxel in previously treated patients with small cell lung cancer.
- Determine the response rate and survival in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to length of time since prior treatment (less than 3 months (stratum A) vs 3 months or more (stratum B)). Stratum A closed to accrual effective 06/20/2000.
Patients receive topotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3 and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 3. Courses repeat every 4 weeks.
Patients who achieve partial response or stable disease continue treatment in the absence of complete response or disease progression. Patients who develop disease progression in the CNS only should receive whole brain radiotherapy and then continue treatment. Patients who achieve complete remission receive a maximum of 6 courses of treatment. Patients may then undergo prophylactic cranial irradiation and/or thoracic radiotherapy at the discretion at the attending physician.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then at 3 years after study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing paclitaxel, topotecan hydrochloride and radiation therapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 19 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 19 sites in United States, Canada. 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?
response rate (time frame: Up to 5 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 NCT00003281, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 Jul 2016.
