Trial summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy using HPPH in treating patients with lung cancer. Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as HPPH, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, cancer cells are killed. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with biopsy confirmed carcinoma-in-situ (CIS) or microinvasive lung cancer
  • Patients may have squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or large cell carcinoma
  • Patients may have received prior therapy for lung cancer of any type, e.g. chemotherapy, radiation therapy
  • Patients must have no contraindications for bronchoscopy
  • Female patients must not be pregnant and must be practicing a medically acceptable form of birth control, be sterile or post-menopausal
  • Patients must have a Karnofsky scale 50 or above (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] 0-2)
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Patients must sign an Informed Consent according to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines acceptable to the Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) Institutional Review Board (IRB)
  • Patients with underlying lung disease must be judged (by the principal investigator) able to with stand mucous/debris formation at the site of treatment
  • Definition of CIS or microinvasive lung cancer for this protocol: the lesion will be radiographically occult and not definable by conventional computed tomography (CT) of the chest; the lesion may or may not be invisible on white light bronchoscopy, but is definable and photographable on lung imaging fluorescence endoscope (LIFE) bronchoscopy; biopsies of the lesion must indicate no evidence of invasion beyond cartilage on histopathology; the lesion may, however, be invasive through the basement membrane (microinvasive carcinoma)

Who cannot join

  • Porphyria or hypersensitivity to porphyrin or porphyrin-like compounds
  • White blood cells (WBC) < 4000
  • Platelet count < 100,000
  • Prothrombin time exceeding 1.5 times the upper normal limit
  • Total serum bilirubin > 3.0 mg/dl
  • Serum creatinine > 3.0 mg/dl
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Alkaline phosphatase (hepatic) or serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) > 3 times the upper normal limit
  • Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that would in the opinion of the investigator preclude multiple bronchoscopies or partial central airway obstruction from mucous/debris formation
  • Any evidence of worsening pulmonary symptoms or COPD exacerbation
  • Evidence of major pulmonary vessel encasement on CT scan of the chest
  • Myocardial infarction (Ml) or unstable angina in the previous 6 months

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Light Dose for Photodynamic Therapy(PDT) Using 2-[ 1-hexyloxyethel]-2-devinyl Pyropheophorbide-a (HPPH) for Treatment of Non-small Cell Carcinoma in Situ or Non-small Cell Microinvasive Carcinoma. A Dose Ranging Study

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy using HPPH in treating patients with lung cancer. Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as HPPH, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, cancer cells are killed.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine maximally tolerated light dose (MTID). Identify systemic and normal tissue toxicity using 2-[hexyloxyethyl)-2-devinyl pyropheophorbide-a (HPPH) for photodynamic therapy in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma-in-situ (CIS) or microinvasive carcinoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To study tumor response in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma-in-situ (CIS) or bronchogenic microinvasive carcinoma.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive HPPH intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day 1. Patients then photodynamic therapy with laser light on day 3. Patients also undergo therapeutic bronchoscopy for endoscopic debridement on day 5.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4-6 weeks, 6 months, and then periodically for at least 2 years.

Being tested
HPPH, photodynamic therapy, therapeutic bronchoscopy
Medical subject headings
Adenocarcinoma of Lung, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What is being measured

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

  1. MTID

    Defined as the dose at which =< 1 out of 6 patients experiences dose-limiting toxicity.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Systemic toxicity according to NCI Common Toxicity Criteria version 2

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  3. PDT-related normal tissue toxicity

    Assessed by a scale with grades 0-3 being acceptable, grade 4 being unacceptable, and grade 5 being stopping study.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Objective tumor response

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HPPH, photodynamic therapy and therapeutic bronchoscopy in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Lung and Large Cell Lung Cancer, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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 11 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 31 Jul 2014. 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?

MTID (time frame: Up to 2 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Jul 2014.
