About this study
Official title: Randomized Trial of PEITC as a Modifier of NNK Metabolism in Smokers
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of phenethyl isothiocyanate may prevent lung cancer in people who smoke cigarettes.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying phenethyl isothiocyanate to see how well it works in preventing lung cancer in smokers.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine whether oral phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) affects urinary levels of biomarkers of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) metabolism in current smokers.
Secondary
- To determine the effect of GSTM1 genotype on PEITC's impact on urinary biomarkers of NNK metabolism.
- To determine the effect of GSTM1 genotype on the metabolism and excretion of PEITC as measured by urinary levels of its major metabolite.
- To determine whether oral PEITC affects molecular markers of cell proliferation (Ki-67) and apoptosis (caspase-3 and TUNEL) in bronchial tissue.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to GST genotypes (GSTM1 null-null genotype vs GSTM1-positive genotype). All participants are initially enrolled in the short-term trial. After the completion of the short-term trial, only those participants meeting certain criteria may proceed to the long-term trial.
- Short-term trial: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Participants are asked to smoke only deuterated NNK cigarettes (provided by the study) and record the exact number of cigarettes smoked and alcoholic drinks consumed each day for 1 month. Participants receive oral phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) four times daily for 5 days in week 2 and oral placebo four times daily for 5 days in week 4. Participants keep a diary of all food and beverages consumed on the days that PEITC or placebo are taken.
- Arm II: Participants receive oral placebo four times daily for 5 days in week 2 and oral PEITC four times daily for 5 days in week 4. Participants are also asked to smoke only deuterated NNK cigarettes, record the number of cigarettes smoked and alcoholic drinks consumed each day, and keep a food and beverage diary as in arm I.
After completion of the short-term trial, participants undergo a wash-out period for 1 month in which they are asked to resume smoking regular cigarettes. Participants are offered smoking cessation assistance, if desired. Only those participants meeting certain criteria may proceed to the long-term trial after the 1-month wash-out period.
- Long-term trial: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Participants receive oral PEITC twice daily for 12 months.
- Arm II: Participants receive oral placebo twice daily for 12 months. Participants in both arms complete a 3-day food diary monthly for 12 months and a food-frequency questionnaire at baseline and at the completion of study treatment.
All participants undergo blood and urine sample collection periodically for laboratory studies. Participants enrolled in the long-term trial also undergo bronchoscopy and tissue biopsy at baseline and at the completion study treatment. Urine samples are examined by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) for various biomarkers. Tissue samples are examined by IHC for Ki-67, TUNEL, and caspase-3 expression.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Urinary Levels of Biomarkers of NNK Metabolism
Urinary levels of Total ITC and PEITC-NAC by treatment sequence groups and treatment period.
Measured: 2 periods, 5 days each on PEITC or Placebo, with washout week between
Urinary Levels of Biomarkers of NNK Metabolism
The ratio of urinary [pyridine-D4]hydroxy acid : total [pyridine-D4]NNAL will be measured. This ratio is not expected to be influenced by the number of cigarettes smoked per day, or smoking topography.
Measured: After 5 days of treatment
Secondary outcomes (4)
Effects of GSTM1 Genotype on Phenethyl Isothiocyanate (PEITC)-NNK Association and on the Metabolism and Excretion of PEITC
Measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The aim is to determine the possible differential effects of GSTM1 genotype on PEITC excretion, using the method of Chung et al. The method will result in quantitative recovery of the PEITC-NAC.
Measured: After 5 days of PEITC treatment
Effects of GSTT1 Genotype on Phenethyl Isothiocyanate (PEITC)-NNK Association and on the Metabolism and Excretion of PEITC
Measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The aim is to determine the possible differential effects of GSTT1 genotype on PEITC excretion, using the method of Chung et al. The method will result in quantitative recovery of the PEITC-NAC.
Measured: After 5 days of treatment
Combined Effects of GSTM1 and GSTT1 Genotype on Phenethyl Isothiocyanate (PEITC)-NNK Association and on the Metabolism and Excretion of PEITC
Measured: After 5 days of treatment
Urinary Levels of [Pyridine-D4]Hydroxy Acid:Total [Pyridine-D4]NNAL Ratio by GSTM1 and GSTT1 Genotype.
% Difference in ratio of urinary [pyridine-D4]hydroxy acid : total [pyridine-D4]NNAL while on PEITC compared to while on Placebo ((PEITC - Placebo) / PEITC) x 100%
Measured: After 5 days of treatment

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing phenethyl isothiocyanate in people with Lung Cancer and Tobacco Use Disorder, run by University of Minnesota 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?
The sponsor lists 22 inclusion and 1 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 12 May 2017. 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.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 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?
Urinary Levels of Biomarkers of NNK Metabolism (time frame: 2 periods, 5 days each on PEITC or Placebo, with washout week between). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00691132, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 12 May 2017.
