About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Ponatinib in Cohorts of Patients With Lung Cancer Preselected Using Different Candidate Predictive Biomarkers

This phase II trial studies how well ponatinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage III-IV lung cancer. Ponatinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

This study will look at the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug ponatinib in lung cancer. The investigators hope that ponatinib will work against tumors that have certain biomarkers. Therefore, the study will pre-screen patients for these certain biomarkers before enrolling them into the main treatment study. Different doses of ponatinib may be tested in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Biomarker FGFR1 (ISH/SISH) Score (Part A)

    Biomarker prevalence and its 95% (exact) confidence interval (CI) among the screening patients and for different histologies will be reported. Molecular cohorts for ISH and SISH positivity: FGFR1 ISH+/SISH+, FGFR1 ISH+/SISH-, FGFR1 ISH-/SISH+, and FGFR1 ISH-/SISH-

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Overlapping Frequency of FGFR1 (ISH/SISH) Biomarkers (Part A)

    Overlapping frequency and its 95% CI between biomarkers among the screening patients and for different histologies will also be reported.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per RECIST v1.1 (Part B)

    Evaluated using Fisher's exact test with a descriptive p-value. Summarized using binomial proportions with 95% exact binomial confidence intervals.

    Measured: From date of first dose until date of Disease Progression or death (up to 153 days), whichever occurred first

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Adverse Events, Graded According to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.0

    Adverse events will be tabulated per participant, per organ, and per visit.

    Measured: From date of first dose until date of Disease Progression (up to 153 days). Assessed at Day 1, Day 8, Day 15 of each 28 day cycle)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ponatinib in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Lung and Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 23 inclusion and 18 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 11 Feb 2022. 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 11 Feb 2022). 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?

Biomarker FGFR1 (ISH/SISH) Score (Part A) (time frame: Baseline). 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 11 Feb 2022.
