Trial summary

Certain genetic factors can affect a patient's potential sensitivity to therapeutic drugs and other agents. There is a factor called ISG15 which might help doctors better identify patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors may be more sensitive to the drug called Irinotecan.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot, Non-Randomized Phase II Protocol of Irinotecan for Patients With Previously Treated, Advanced, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With High ISG 15 Expression

Certain genetic factors can affect a patient's potential sensitivity to therapeutic drugs and other agents. There is a factor called ISG15 which might help doctors better identify patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors may be more sensitive to the drug called Irinotecan. This factor is elevated in roughly 30% of NSCLC cases. Irinotecan is an agent that inhibits the enzyme called topoisomerase I that is involved in cell growth, and it has been FDA approved for 17 years for another type of cancer.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this trial is to demonstrate the potential clinical benefit of targeted irinotecan chemotherapy in NSCLC patients whose tumors display a specific phenotype that is associated with increased sensitivity to this drug, ISG15H.

What participants receive

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

  • IrinotecanDrug

    Also called Camptosar; Campto

    180 mg/m2 Irinotecan intravenously over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle

    Pre-medication for irinotecan: palonosetron 0.25 mg and dexamethasone 8 - 16 mg, both administered intravenously. Atropine 0.25 - 0.5 mg subcutaneously or IV is at the discretion of the treating physician

Study groups in NCT01607554
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IrinotecanExperimentalThe starting dose of irinotecan for the study is 180 mg/m2, given intravenously every 14 days. Each 14 day period will constitute one cycle of treatment.
Receives: Drug: Irinotecan

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor Response

    Change in tumor size will be measured by CT scan using RECIST criteria.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time to Progression (TTP)

    Time to progression will be measured from the time of first treatment until there is evidence of progressive disease or death, from the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 100 months. Death will be treated as a progression event.

    Measured: Up to 100 months

  2. Retrospectively Evaluate the Role of Tumor SULF2 Gene Methylation Status in Treatment Efficacy

    Patients who have a loss of SULF2 gene expression have a better outcome than those whose tumors express SULF2. High level of ISG15 expression in NSCLC may indicate a subgroup of tumors that may be more sensitive to the cytotoxic effects of irinotecan. In patients who consent to screening, 10 unstained slides of archived diagnostic tissue will be obtained from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens and analyzed in the laboratories of our Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute co-investigators.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Toxicity of Irinotecan Salvage Chemotherapy

    Use blood samples to measure possible 1) Neutropenia, 2) Thrombocytopenia, 3)Diarrhea; 4) Other measures of toxicity other than alopecia, anorexia, and asthenia as listed in the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria v. 4.03

    Measured: 2 days preceding each cycle of therapy

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Measured: Up to 100 months

  5. Median Duration of Response

    Measured: Up to 100 months

  6. Median Overall Survival (OS)

    Measured: 100 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Irinotecan in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by New Mexico Cancer Research Alliance at 3 sites 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 6 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 22 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 combined 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.

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 13 Apr 2018). 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?

Tumor Response (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 22 May 2018.
