What participants receive

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

  • Ixabepilone, 32 mg/m^2 + Carboplatin, 5 mg/min/mLDrug

    Also called IXEMPRA, BMS-247550

    On Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, ixabepilone, 32 mg/m^2, intravenous (IV) solution administered as a 3-hour infusion; 30 minutes after the end of ixabepilone infusion, carboplatin, 5 mg/min/mL, intravenous IV solution infused over 30 minutes. Repeated once every 3 weeks, for a maximum of 6 cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    DLT is defined as any of the following: Common Terminology Criteria (CTC), Version 3, Grade(Gr) 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <500 cells/mm^3) for at least 5 days or febrile neutropenia; Gr 4 thrombocytopenia (<25,000 cells/mm^3 or bleeding needing platelet transfusion); Gr 3 or 4 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, despite medical intervention; any other drug-related Gr 3 or 4 nonhematologic toxicity, except Gr 3 injection site reaction, fatigue/asthenia, transient arthralgia/myalgia, or transient electrolytes abnormal. Gr 1=Mild; Gr 2=Moderate; Gr 3=Severe; Gr 4=Life-threatening.

    Measured: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1)

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose of Carboplatin in Combination With Ixabepilone, 32 mg/m^2

    The MTD was defined as the highest dose evaluated for which less than one sixth of patients experience a DLT in Cycle 1. The recommended phase 2 dose is the MTD defined in Cycle 1, with consideration given to chronic cumulative toxicity occurring at later cycles.

    Measured: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1)

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Number of Participants With Death as Outcome, Treatment-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), SAEs, Adverse Events (AEs), and Treatment-related AEs Leading to Discontinuation

    An SAE is any untoward medical event that at any dose: results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency or abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization. An AE is any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Treatment-related comprises certainly, probably, and possibly related and of unknown relationship to study drug.

    Measured: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1)

  2. Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Greater Treatment-related AEs

    An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. AEs graded according to CTC, Version 3.0. Gr 1=Mild; Gr 2=Moderate; Gr 3=Severe; Gr 4=Life-threatening. Treatment-related comprises certainly, probably, and possibly related and of unknown relationship to study drug.

    Measured: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1)

  3. Number of Participants With Abnormalities in Hematology Laboratory Values by Worst CTC Grade

    LLN=lower level of normal; ULN=upper level of normal. Hemoglobin (g/dL; LLN=11.3; ULN=14.9); leukocytes (*10^3 c/uL; LLN=4.1; ULN=6.1); lymphocytes (*10^3 c/uL); neutrophils (absolute), neutrophils + bands (*10^3 c/uL); platelet count (*10^9 c/L; LLN=131; ULN=365)

Alkaline phosphatase=ALP(LLN=115; ULN=359) (U/L); alanine aminotransferase=ALT (LLN=8; ULN=42)(U/L); aspartate aminotransferase=AST (LLN=13; ULN=33) (U/L); albumin (LLN=3.7; ULN=5.2)(g/dL); bilirubin (LLN=0.3; ULN=1.2)(mg/dL); calcium (LLN=8.7; ULN=10.3)(mg/dL); creatinine (LLN=0.6; ULN=1.1)(mg/dL); potassium (LLN=3.6; ULN=4.9) (mEq/L); sodium (LLN=138; ULN=146) (mEq/L)

    Measured: At screening and Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 (21 days)

  5. Number of Participants With Abnormalities in Urine Testing Results by Worst CTC Grade

    Toxicities graded according to CTC, Version 3. Protein Gr 1: <1.0 g/24 hrs (1+); Gr 2: 1.0 to 3.4 g/24 hrs (2+ to 3+ ); Gr 3: >=3.5 g/24 hrs (4+); Gr 4: Nephrotic syndrome. Note: + = qualitative measure of urine chemistry.

    Measured: At screening and Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 (21 days)

  6. Number of Participants With Abnormalities in Blood Pressure and Heart Rate

    Blood pressure and heart rate obtained before ixabepilone infusion, every 1 hour during and at the end of ixabepilone infusion, and at the end of carboplatin infusion in Cycle 1. For subsequent cycles, vital signs obtained before ixabepilone infusion, at the end of ixabepilone infusion, and at the end of carboplatin infusion. Any new or worsening clinically significant changes since last entry were recorded as appropriate AE or SAE.

    Measured: At screening and Day 1 of Cycle 1 (21 days) and Day 1 of Cycle 2 (Study day 22)

  7. Number of Participants With Abnormalities in Weight and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status

  8. Number of Participants at Each Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Assessment

    Tumor response was assessed using the RECIST assessment: Complete response (CR)=Disappearance of all clinical and radiologic evidence of target lesions; Partial response (PR)=At least 30% reduction in the sum of the longest diameters of all target lesions; Progressive disease (PD)=At least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of all target lesions; Stable disease (SD)=Neither PR nor PD criteria were met.

    Measured: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ixabepilone, 32 mg/m^2 + Carboplatin, 5 mg/min/mL and Ixabepilone, 32 mg/m^2 + Carboplatin, 6 mg/min/mL in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), run by R-Pharm at 1 site in Japan.

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 8 inclusion and 22 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 10 Mar 2016. 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 Japan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Apr 2011). 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?

Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Mar 2016.
