About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of NK012 in Sensitive Relapsed and Refractory Relapsed Small-Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether NK012 is safe and effective in the treatment of relapsed small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase II, open label, single arm, multicenter study of NK012 in patients with sensitive relapsed SCLC (at least 90 days since first line therapy) or refractory relapsed SCLC (< 90 days since first line therapy). NK012 will be administered by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes once every 28 days (on Day 1 of each cycle). Patients will be screened for UGT1A1 polymorphism prior to enrollment.

What participants receive

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

  • NK012Drug

    30 minute IV infusion once every 28 days. NK012 dose is 28 mg/m^2 (or 18 mg/m^2 depending on UGT1A1 polymorphism, with potential to dose escalate). Dose escalation cannot exceed 28 mg/m^2. Dosing will proceed until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops, or decision by patient or investigator to stop.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the overall antitumor activity (overall response rate) of NK012

    Measured: At baseline and after every 2 cycles; PR or CR must be confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the first response was recorded

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Measured: Monthly for 6 months after patient goes off study, then every 3 months thereafter

  2. Duration of response

    Measured: Monthly for 6 months after patient goes off study, then every 3 months thereafter

  3. Overall survival

    Measured: Monthly for 6 months after patient goes off study, then every 3 months thereafter

  4. Toxicity profile of NK012

    Measured: Duration of study and up to 30 days after off-study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NK012 in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd. 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 10 inclusion and 10 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 20 Mar 2013. 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?

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?

To evaluate the overall antitumor activity (overall response rate) of NK012 (time frame: At baseline and after every 2 cycles; PR or CR must be confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the first response was recorded). 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 20 Mar 2013.
