About this study

Official title: Prevention of Death From Adenocarcinoma of the Lung by Low Dose Aspirin

This pilot clinical trial studies low-dose acetylsalicylic acid in treating patients with stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer. Studying samples of urine and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes in biomarkers that occur during treatment with acetylsalicylic acid

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine whether ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) 325 mg inhibits prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) biosynthesis in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cyclooxygenase (COX) catalytic activity will be determined by measuring the metabolite of PGE2, 11alpha-hydroxy-9,12-dioxo-2,3,4,5-tetranor-prostane-1,20 dioic acid (PGE-M) in urine pre- and post-ASA 325 mg as a surrogate of systemic PGE2 biosynthesis.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine whether COX-2 protein has a slow turnover in adenocarcinoma of the lung. COX turnover will be determined by measuring urinary PGE-M levels daily for 7 days after discontinuing ASA 325 mg. COX-2 and Prostaglandin expression will also be measured in tumor samples of patients taken at the time of surgery.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive acetylsalicylic acid orally (PO) for 7 days and urine is collected for 7 days post therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in PGE2 biosynthesis from baseline and at 14 days after discontinuation of a 7-day course of 325 mg ASA per day

    PGE2 is a product of the COX-2 protein. Measurement of its urinary metabolite PGE-M would indicate the level of systemic biosynthesis of PGE2 and thus inhibition of COX-2 product formation.

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in PGE-M levels from baseline and daily for 7 days after discontinuation of a 7-day course of 325 mg ASA per day

    PGE-M is a metabolite of PGE2 in urine. PGE2 is a product of the COX-2 protein. Evidence suggests that COX-2 and PGE2 participate in tumor growth, apoptosis and metastasis, angiogenesis and abrogation of the tumor response. ASA inhibits COX-2. A slow rate of recovery in urinary levels of urinary PGE-M would indicate the rate of catalytically active COX-2 after discontinuation of ASA and may explain the efficacy of once daily low-dose ASA.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing acetylsalicylic acid and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Lung and Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 14 Jan 2020. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Funding unavailable). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change in PGE2 biosynthesis from baseline and at 14 days after discontinuation of a 7-day course of 325 mg ASA per day (time frame: 14 days). 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 14 Jan 2020.
