About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Oral Calcitriol in Patients at High Risk for Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Calcitriol may prevent lung cancer in patients with metaplasia or dysplasia of the lungs.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of calcitriol in preventing lung cancer in current smokers and former smokers at high risk of lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To establish the safety of calcitriol in patients at high risk of lung cancer.
  • To determine the dose-limiting toxicities of calcitriol in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral calcitriol on day 1. Courses repeat every 2 weeks for 3 months in absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo blood collection periodically for pharmacokinetic and molecular analysis.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically.

Being tested
calcitriol, laboratory biomarker analysis, pharmacological study
Keywords
lung cancer, tobacco use disorder, squamous lung dysplasia
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Grade III-IV Toxicities or Any Grade II Toxicities Lasting More Than 2 Weeks

    Number of participants with Adverse Events, Grade II lasting more than two weeks or Grade III or higher, graded according to CTEP Version 4 of the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) will be utilized for AE reporting.

    CTEP Version 4 of the CTCAE is identified and located at:

    http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/ctc.htm.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing calcitriol, laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological study in people with Lung Cancer and Precancerous Condition, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 4 Jun 2018. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Oct 2017). 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?

Grade III-IV Toxicities or Any Grade II Toxicities Lasting More Than 2 Weeks (time frame: 3 months). 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 4 Jun 2018.
