Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Multidose, Single Arm, Multicenter Clinical Trial of Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in Combination With Recombinant Humanized Anti-p185HER2 Monoclonal Antibody (Herceptin) in Patients Who Have Untreated p185HER2 Overexpressing Advanced Local Stage (Stage IIIb Pleural Effusion Only) and Metastatic (Stage IV) 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. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study effectiveness of combining cisplatin, gemcitabine, and trastuzumab in treating patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of cisplatin, gemcitabine, and trastuzumab (Herceptin) in patients with untreated p185-HER2 overexpressing stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. II. Determine the pharmacokinetic interactions among these drugs in these patients. III. Assess the pharmacodynamics of these drugs in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Regimen A: Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes followed by cisplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 and trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 90 minutes on day 2. Patients receive trastuzumab IV over 90 minutes followed by gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on day 8 and trastuzumab IV over 90 minutes on day 15. Patients proceed to regimen B on day 22 of regimen A. Regimen B: Patients receive trastuzumab IV over 30-90 minutes, gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes, and cisplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Patients receive trastuzumab IV over 30-90 minutes followed by gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on day 8 and trastuzumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 5 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Maintenance: After completion of 6 courses, patients with stable disease or partial response receive trastuzumab IV over 30-90 minutes weekly until tumor progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-48 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Trastuzumab, Cisplatin and Gemcitabine Hydrochloride in people with Lung Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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?

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 26 Oct 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 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?

Efficacy of Cisplatin, Gemcitabine, + Trastuzumab in Untreated p185-HER2 Overexpressing Stage IIIB or IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (time frame: 21 days cycles for 6 courses). 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 26 Oct 2018.
