About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Of Tirapazamine/Cisplatin/Etoposide And Concurrent Thoracic Radiotherapy For Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the feasibility of tirapazamine, cisplatin, and etoposide concurrently with radiotherapy in patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer.
  • Determine the toxicities of this treatment regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the response rate in these patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to one of two induction therapy arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive induction chemotherapy consisting of low-dose tirapazamine IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 29, and 36 and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 and 29-33. Patients also undergo radiotherapy concurrently with chemotherapy 5 consecutive days a week for 7 weeks beginning on day 1.
  • Arm II: Patients receive induction chemotherapy consisting of high-dose tirapazamine, cisplatin, etoposide, and radiotherapy as in arm I.

Patients with stable or responding disease then receive consolidation therapy consisting of tirapazamine IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 of weeks 11 and 14 and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3 of weeks 11 and 14.

Patients are followed every 2 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients (25 per arm) will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

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

  • cisplatinDrug

    Also called platinol

    During induction: 50 mg/m2/day, IV on Days 1, 8, 29, 36. 1 hour infusion

    During consolidation: 60 mg/m2, IV on Day 1 only at approximately Week 11, Week 14. 1 hour infusion.

  • etoposideDrug

    Also called VP-16

    During induction: 50 mg/m2/day, IV on Days 1 - 5, 29 - 33. 1 hour infusion

    During consolidation: 120 mg/m2, IV on Days 1, 2 and 3 at approximately Week 11, Week 14. 1 hour infusion.

  • tirapazamineDrug

    During induction:

    Phase I low dose: 260 mg/m2/day, IV on Days 1, 8, 29, 36. 1 hour infusion

    Phase II high dose: 330 mg/m2/day, IV on Days 1, 8, 29, 36 1 hour infusion

    During consolidation:

    330 mg/ m2, IV Day 1 only at approximately Week 11, Week 14. 1 hour infusion.

  • radiation therapyRadiation

    Radiotherapy should begin within 1 - 3 hours after completion of TPZ infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 of induction chemotherapy as outlined above. Computed tomography based treatment planning is strongly recommended.The primary tumor, adjacent mediastinum and other targeted lymph nodes shall receive 4,500 cGy in 25 fractions, five days/week at 180 cGy daily. A 1,600 cGy boost to areas of gross disease will be delivered through reduced off-spinal cord fields in eight fractions, five days/week at 200 cGy daily.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility and Toxicity

    If ten or more patients experience either Grade 3 or greater esophagitis or pneumonitis at any dose level, the trial will be stopped. Nine or fewer patients experiencing either of these toxicities will be evidence that the dose can be escalated to the next level.

    Measured: toxicity is assessed weekly

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing cisplatin, etoposide and tirapazamine in people with Lung Cancer, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network at 87 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 4 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 87 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 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.

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?

Feasibility and Toxicity (time frame: toxicity is assessed weekly). 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 NCT00006487, 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 4 Oct 2012.
