About this study

Official title: A Single-arm, Two-stage Phase II Study of Lapatinib and Pemetrexed in the Second Line Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase II study is a single-arm, two-stage, multicentre study to determine the clinical activity of lapatinib in combination with pemetrexed in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have received one prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen. There will be a short safety run in portion of the study to determine the optimal treatment regimen (OTR) for the combination, since these two drugs have not previously been used together.

Approximately 27 patients will be enrolled into the first stage of the study and if sufficient responses are seen an additional 27 patients will be enrolled into the second stage giving an overall evaluable patient number of 54. Patients will be treated with pemetrexed plus lapatinib at the determined OTR to disease progression, death or withdrawal from the study treatment for any reason.

Safety and efficacy assessments will be performed on all patients at 6-week intervals, as well as at the end of treatment. Patients withdrawn from study treatment with stable disease will be assessed every 6 weeks until progression. Thereafter, patients will be followed for survival at approximately 12-week intervals until death or to a maximum of 5 years after last patient is enrolled, whichever comes first.

What participants receive

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

  • LapatinibDrug

    Lapatinib was administered once daily orally. Patients will begin treatment at Dose Level 0, using a lower dose of pemetrexed, 400mg (approved dose is 500mg). Absent a DLT or need for treatment delay in cycle 1, Dose level 0 or 1, patients may be dose escalated to dose level 1 or 2, respectively in cycle 2.

  • PemetrexedDrug

    Pemetrexed is administered intravenously on a 21 day schedule. Two dose levels are used in the dose escalation: 400 and 500 mg.

What is being measured

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

  1. OTR of the combination of lapatinib and pemetrexed

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. anti-tumour activity of lapatinib in terms of overall response rate

  2. anti-tumour activity of lapatinib in terms of duration of response, time to response, time to progression, overall survival

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lapatinib and Pemetrexed in people with Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 5 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 17 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Germany, Italy, Poland, United Kingdom. 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?

OTR of the combination of lapatinib and pemetrexed. 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 NCT00528281, 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 17 Nov 2017.
