About this study

Official title: Pioglitazone as a Candidate Chemoprevention Agent for Lung Cancer: A Pilot Trial Using a Pre-surgical Model in Early Stage NSCLC

This pilot phase II trial studies how well pioglitazone works in treating patients with stage IA-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Pioglitazone hydrochloride may slow the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the mechanism(s) of action of pioglitazone as a candidate chemopreventive agent for lung cancer by investigating the effects on Ki-67 defined in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumor tissue.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the effects of pioglitazone on multiple markers listed below:
  • Tumor tissue: caspase-3, cyclin D1, p21/Waf1, peroxisome proliferative activated receptor, gamma (PPARγ), mucin 1 (MUC1).
  • Premalignant tissue: Ki-67, caspase-3, PPARγ.
  • Histologically normal tissue: Ki-67, PPARγ. II. To evaluate the toxicity and safety of pioglitazone in this patient population.

III. To analyze the expression of serum markers that are affected by pioglitazone.

IV. To describe the effects of limited treatment with pioglitazone on tumor metabolic activity as determined by FDG-PET (assessed before and after a minimum of 2 weeks of treatment).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive pioglitazone hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 14-42 days. Patients then undergo surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change in Ki-67 by Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

    Changes in the expression levels of Ki-67 will be plotted graphically, and percent change in expression levels will be formally assessed using the paired t-test or the Wilcoxon signed rank test, if the assumptions of the t-test (i.e. normality) are not met.

    Measured: Baseline and at the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Change in Apoptosis Assessment (e.g., Caspase-3)

    Changes in the expression levels (or grades) from baseline (prior to intervention) to post-intervention (resected tumor sample) will be plotted graphically as well as formally assessed using the McNemar's tests (for categorical variables) or Wilcoxon signed rank tests (for continuous variables) respectively.

    Measured: Baseline and at the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  2. Change in Levels of Serum CA-153

    Each participant's pre- and post serum levels of CA-153 will be graphically represented and the mean levels analyzed using a paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test, if the assumptions of the t-test are not met.

    Measured: Baseline and at the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  3. Change in Levels of Serum CRP

    Each participant's pre- and post serum levels of CRP will be graphically represented and the mean levels analyzed using a paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test, if the assumptions of the t-test are not met.

    Measured: Baseline and at the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  4. Gene Expression Analysis of RNA From Bronchial Brush Cells

    For the gene expression profiles obtained from the data from normal bronchial brush cells, each participant's pre- and post gene expression will be graphically represented and the mean expression levels analyzed using a paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test, if the assumptions of the t-test are not met.

    Measured: Up to the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  5. Incidence of Adverse Events Graded According to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0

    To evaluate the adverse events profile, the maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each participant and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine the overall patterns. The number and severity of adverse events (both regardless of attribution as well as those that are at least possibly, probably, or definitely related) will be tabulated and summarized.

    Measured: Up to the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  6. Number of Participants With Clinical Response, Based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors ( RECIST) Version 1.1

    Clinical response rates will be summarized. Complete response (CR) is the disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions (TL) and each target lymph node (LN) must have reduction in short axis to <1.0cm. Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (LD) of the non-nodal TR and the short axis of the target LN with the baseline sum diameters (BSD) as reference. Progression (PD) is at least 1 new malignant lesion or LN whose short axis increased to >1.5 cm or at least a 20% increase in the sum of TL diameters with the minimum sum of diameters as reference.

    Measured: Up to the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  7. Number of Participants With Complete Pathologic Response

    Complete pathologic response was defined as no viable residual tumor cells. Acellular residual mucin pools also considered a pathologic complete response.

    Measured: Up to the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  8. Percent Change in Cyclin D1

    Changes in the expression levels from baseline (prior to intervention) to post intervention (resected tumor sample) will be plotted graphically.

    Measured: Baseline to the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  9. Percent Change in MUC1

    Changes in the expression levels from baseline (prior to intervention) to post intervention (resected tumor sample) will be plotted graphically.

    Measured: Baseline to the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  10. Percent Change in p21

    Changes in the expression levels from baseline (prior to intervention) to post intervention (resected tumor sample) will be plotted graphically.

    Measured: Baseline to the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  11. Percent Change in PPARy

    Changes in the expression levels from baseline (prior to intervention) to post intervention (resected tumor sample) will be plotted graphically.

    Measured: Baseline to the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  12. Percent Change in SUVmax From the PET Scan

    The percent change from pre to post-intervention in SUV max values will be summarized using descriptive statistics and simple graphical plots.

    Measured: Baseline to the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment

  13. Pre-intervention SUV of PET Scan

    The pre- and post-intervention SUV will be summarized using descriptive statistics and simple graphical plots.

    Measured: Baseline

  14. Post-intervention SUV of PET Scan

    The pre- and post-intervention SUV will be summarized using descriptive statistics and simple graphical plots.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Pioglitazone Hydrochloride and Quality-of-Life Assessment in people with Stage IA Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Stage IB Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 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 6 Oct 2015). 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?

Percent Change in Ki-67 by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) (time frame: Baseline and at the time of surgery, after 42 days of treatment). 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 5 Dec 2017.
