Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Of STI 571 (Gleevec) In Combination With Cisplatin/Irinotecan In Patients With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with imatinib mesylate may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining cisplatin, irinotecan, and imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of imatinib mesylate when administered with cisplatin and irinotecan in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.
  • Determine the recommended phase II dose of imatinib mesylate in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the response rate, median duration of response, progression-free survival, median survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of imatinib mesylate.

Patients receive cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and irinotecan IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 4 courses. Patients also receive oral imatinib mesylate daily continually for one week prior to, during, and after chemotherapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of imatinib mesylate until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, additional patients are treated at the recommended phase II dose (one dose level below the MTD).

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-24 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing cisplatin, imatinib mesylate and irinotecan hydrochloride in people with Lung Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2015. 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 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 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.

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 23 Jul 2015.
