Trial summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of exemestane in combination with pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin in treating post-menopausal women with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Exemestane may stop the growth of tumor calls by blocking some of the enzymes need for cell growth. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I Dose Escalation Study of Carboplatin, Pemetrexed and Exemestane in Post-menopausal Women With Metastatic Non-squamous NSCLC

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of exemestane in combination with pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin in treating post-menopausal women with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Exemestane may stop the growth of tumor calls by blocking some of the enzymes need for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving exemestane together with pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of exemestane when given with pemetrexed (pemetrexed disodium) and carboplatin in post-menopausal women with stage IV non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the objective tumor response rate (defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1) in patients treated with pemetrexed, carboplatin and exemestane.

II. Evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of pemetrexed, carboplatin and exemestane.

III. Evaluate quality of life in patients treated with pemetrexed, carboplatin and exemestane.

IV. Analyze tumor tissue biomarkers for potential correlation with response.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of exemestane.

Patients receive exemestane orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and pemetrexed disodium intravenously (IV) over 15 minutes and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, and then every 3 months thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tabulation, grading, and attribution of serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events (AEs) using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Proportion achieving clinical response

    For categorical markers Fisher's exact test will be used. The log rank test will be used to examine association between categorical markers and time to disease progression. For quantitative markers one-way ANOVA will be used. Cox-proportional hazards regression models will be used to correlate quantitative markers with time to disease progression. Pearson correlations will be used between pairs of quantitative markers. If there is significant non-normality the Kendall correlation coefficients will be used. Mixed effects models will be used to quantify markers at multiple time points.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Quality of life in patients treated with pemetrexed disodium, carboplatin and exemestane

    Quality of life measures will be compared between response categories (ANOVA) and the effect of time on therapy will be assessed with mixed effects models.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing exemestane, pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin in people with Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 7 inclusion and 23 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 7 May 2019. 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 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.

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?

Tabulation, grading, and attribution of serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events (AEs) using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 (time frame: Up to 3 years). 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 7 May 2019.
