About this study

Official title: A Phase 1-2 Study of Weekly OGX-011 Plus a Gemcitabine/Platinum-Based Regimen in Patients With Stage IIIB or IV Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

This clinical study will help determine if giving OGX-011 (custirsen sodium) in combination with gemcitabine (GEM) and cisplatin (CIS) or carboplatin (CARB) is a safe and effective treatment for patients with lung cancer. This study will help to assess the safety and anti-tumor effect of OGX-011 when given to patients in combination with GEM and CIS/CARB.

Read the detailed description

OGX-011 is an experimental drug that has been shown to increase the effectiveness of commonly used cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy in several kinds of cancer types in animals. OGX-011 is being studied in the treatment of cancer patients in combination with chemotherapy. In humans, OGX-011 in combination with hormone therapy has been shown to decrease the tissue levels of a protein called clusterin, which can be overproduced in cancer cells. Clusterin has been found to block cell death and makes cells more resistant to cancer therapy. Gemcitabine (GEM), cisplatin (CIS) and carboplatin (CARB) have been approved by Health Canada and the Food and Drug Administration in the United States for the treatment of patients with lung cancer.

OGX-011 was administered as a 2-hr intravenous (IV) infusion on Days -7, -5, and -3 prior to Cycle 1, then weekly on Days 1, 8, 15 of each 21-day cycle; GEM was infused IV after OGX-011 on Days 1 and 8; either CIS or CARB was infused IV after GEM on Day 1 of each cycle. Six cycles of treatment were planned. Most patients received OGX-011 at 640 mg, but 3 patients received OGX-011 at 480 mg dose; OGX-011 dose groups were combined due to the small number of patients who received 480 mg.

What participants receive

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

  • custirsen sodiumDrug

    Also called OGX-011, TV-1011

    Custirsen sodium (OGX-011) was to be infused intravenously over 2 hours on Days -7, -5, and 3 of Cycle 1 (pretreatment loading dose). OGX 011 was then to be infused for 2 hours weekly on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 21-day cycle. Gemcitabine (GEM) was to be infused intravenously for 30 minutes on Days 1 and 8 and either cisplatin (CIS) or carboplatin (CARBO) were to be infused intravenously on Day 1 of this 21-day cycle. Patients were to receive a maximum of 6 cycles (1 cycle = 21 days)

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate of OGX-011 in Combination With Gemcitabine/Platinum-based Regimen

    Per RECIST Criteria V 1.0 and based on radiographic evaluations a subject was defined as having an objective response (OR) if the subject achieved either a confirmed partial response (PR) or confirmed complete response (CR).

    The evaluations were conducted after every two cycles of treatment for a maximum of 6 cycles.

    CR: disappearance of clinical/radiological evidence of tumor.

    PR: >= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    SD: did not fulfill the criteria for CR or PR but not progressive disease.

    Measured: Based on assessments at baseline and after Cycles 2, 4, and 6. All subjects were followed for survival for a minimum of 3 years after the first dose of OGX-011 or until death.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as time from first treatment with OGX-011 to documented evidence of disease progression or date of death. For subjects without disease progression based on RECIST who initiated subsequent anti-cancer therapy, date of progression was defined as date of initiating new cancer treatment. PFS was censored as of the date of first OGX-011 dose for subjects who failed to return for assessments after screening. For subjects who were still alive and without progressive disease at the time of data cut-off, PFS was censored at date of last disease assessment.

    Measured: All subjects were followed for a minimum of 3 years after the first dose of OGX-011 or until death.

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as time from date of first treatment with OGX-011 to the date of death from any cause. Overall survival was censored at date of last contact for subjects who were still alive at end of study.

    Measured: All subjects were followed for a minimum of 3 years after the first dose of OGX-011 or until death.

  3. Effect of OGX-011 on Serum Clusterin Levels

    To measure the effect of OGX-011 on serum clusterin levels. The drug substance, OGX-011, is an antisense product designed to bind to clusterin mRNA, resulting in the inhibition of the production of human clusterin protein. Therefore, serum clusterin levels were expected to decrease.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at baseline and prior to infusion on Cycle 2 Day 1 and Cycle 3 Day 1

  4. Cmax of OGX-011

    Cmax is a plasma pharmacokinetic parameter that is defined as the maximum observed concentration of drug substance in plasma.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected as follows. Cycle 1; Day 1: pre-dose, 2 h (EOI), 0.5 h, 1 hr, 1.5 h, 2.5 h, 4 h, 6.5 h and 23.5 h post end of OGX-011 infusion, Day 22: pre-dose Cycle 2.

  5. t1/2 of OGX-011

    Plasma half life of OGX-011

    Measured: Blood samples were collected as follows. Cycle 1; Day 1: pre-dose, 2 h (EOI), 0.5 h, 1 hr, 1.5 h, 2.5 h, 4 h, 6.5 h and 23.5 h post end of OGX-011 infusion, Day 22: pre-dose Cycle 2.

  6. AUC-0-last

    AUC-0-last is the area under the plasma concentration time curve from time 0 to the last last time point (23.5 hrs)

    Measured: Blood samples were collected as follows. Cycle 1; Day 1: pre-dose, 2 h (EOI), 0.5 h, 1 hr, 1.5 h, 2.5 h, 4 h, 6.5 h and 23.5 h post end of OGX-011 infusion, Day 22: pre-dose Cycle 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing custirsen sodium in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Achieve Life Sciences at 15 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?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. 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 6 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Canada, 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 combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Jan 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Objective Response Rate of OGX-011 in Combination With Gemcitabine/Platinum-based Regimen (time frame: Based on assessments at baseline and after Cycles 2, 4, and 6. All subjects were followed for survival for a minimum of 3 years after the first dose of OGX-011 or until death.). 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 NCT00138658, 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 6 Feb 2012.
