About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Motexafin Gadolinium and Docetaxel for Second Line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of motexafin gadolinium (study drug) to standard treatment with docetaxel will improve the response rate in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

Preclinical and clinical data suggest that MGd has activity in NSCLC and that the combination of MGd and docetaxel may be more effective that docetaxel alone. In this trial, patients will receive 10 mg/kg MGd followed by 75 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks. This dosing regimen was well tolerated in the Phase I dose escalation trial. A Simon 2-stage trial design will be used; if at least 4 out of 39 evaluable patients in the first stage of the trial demonstrate objective clinical response, the study will proceed to Stage 2, where an additional 22 evaluable patients will be enrolled following the same treatment regimen and assessment schedule as in Stage 1. Patients with stable disease, CR, or PR will continue dosing up to 12 cycles and will be followed for response every 6 weeks until PD, death, or end of study.

What participants receive

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

  • Motexafin GadoliniumDrug

    Also called MGd and Docetaxtel

    On Day 1 of each 3 week cycle for up to 12 cycles:

    MGd 10 mg/kg infused over approximately 30 to 60 minutes, followed ≥ 30 minutes later by Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 administered IV over approximately 1 hour.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the complete and partial response rate (CR and PR) in patients with advanced NSCLC when administered motexafin gadolinium (MGd) and docetaxel

    The patient population for the primary endpoint is all patients who underwent at least 1 cycle of treatment and at 1 response evaluation.

    Measured: up to 12 cycles

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. To estimate the time of progression

    The progression is defined as the time fromfirst does of MGd to first eviedence of progression

    Measured: up to 12 cycles

  2. To estimate overall survival

    The patient population for this endpoint is all patients who received at least 1 dose of MGd and docetaxel

    Measured: up to 12 cycles

  3. To estimate progression-free survival

    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from first does of MGd to the earlier of progression

    Measured: up to 12 cycles

  4. To estimate duration of response (CR + PR)

    Duration of response (CR +PR) is defined as the time from the fisrt response to the time of disease progression.

    Measured: Up to 12 cycles

  5. To estimate clinical benefit rate (CR + PR + stable disease [SD])

    The patient population for this endpoint is all patients who underwent at least 2 cycles of treatment and at least 1 response evaluation

    Measured: up to 12 cycles

  6. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of MGd and docetaxel in advanced NSCLC

    All patients who receive at one dose of MGd will be included in the safety summaries and analyses

    Measured: Up to 12 cycles

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Motexafin Gadolinium in people with Lung Cancer, run by Pharmacyclics LLC. at 22 sites in 4 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 6 inclusion and 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in Russia, United States, Serbia, 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 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To assess the complete and partial response rate (CR and PR) in patients with advanced NSCLC when administered motexafin gadolinium (MGd) and docetaxel (time frame: up to 12 cycles). 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 24 Jul 2014.
