About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of 6-Hydroxymethylacylfulvene (HMAF; MGI-114) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irofulven in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate to 6-hydroxymethylacylfulvene (HMAF) as salvage chemotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory non-small cell lung cancer. II. Determine the duration of response to this regimen in this patient population. III. Determine the effect of prior response to chemotherapy on the response to HMAF in these patients. IV. Determine the survival and failure-free survival of patients treated with HMAF. V. Evaluate the toxicity profile of HMAF as salvage therapy in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified into relapsed or refractory patient groups based on results achieved with prior therapy. Patients receive 6-hydroxymethylacylfulvene IV over 5 minutes daily for 5 days. Courses repeat every 28 days. Patients with stable or responding disease are treated for a minimum of 6 courses (2 courses beyond optimal response) in the absence of unacceptable toxic effects or disease progression. Patients are followed at least every 3 months for 1 year, then every 6 months until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 66 patients (33 for each stratum) will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 6-hydroxymethylacylfulvene in people with Lung Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 48 sites 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?

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 20 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 48 sites 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 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 (time frame: ea tx cycle; q 3 mon Yr 1 post tx, then q 6 mon until progression). 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 NCT00003666, which also lists 2 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 20 Jul 2016.
