About this study

Official title: A Phase III Randomized, Open-Label Clinical Trial of BBI-608 Plus Weekly Paclitaxel Versus Weekly Paclitaxel Alone in Patients With Advanced, Previously Treated, Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is an international, multi-center, prospective, randomized, open-label Phase 3 clinical trial of the cancer stemness inhibitor napabucasin administered with weekly paclitaxel versus weekly paclitaxel alone in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who have disease progression following systemic treatment with a platinum-based combination regimen in the metastatic setting, who have received treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor if a candidate, additional approved therapies, and for whom weekly paclitaxel is an acceptable treatment option.

What participants receive

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

  • NapabucasinDrug

    Also called BBI-608, BBI608, BB608

    Napabucasin will be administered in continuous 28-day cycles. The starting dose of napabucasin is 240 mg twice daily (480 mg total daily dose) with approximately 12 hours between each dose. Napabucasin should be taken with fluids either 1 hour prior to a meal or 2 hours after a meal.

  • PaclitaxelDrug

    Paclitaxel will be administered intravenously, once weekly, via one-hour infusion at a starting dose-level of 80 mg/m^2 body surface area. The weekly paclitaxel infusion will be given during 3 out of every 4 weeks, on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day study cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    To assess the effect of napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel versus weekly paclitaxel on the Overall Survival of patients with previously treated advanced, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Overall Survival in Biomarker Positive Patients

    To assess the effect of napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel versus weekly paclitaxel on the Overall Survival of patients with previously treated advanced, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer in biomarker positive patients. This biomarker-positive sub-population is defined as those patients with phospho-STAT3 based on immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue.

    Measured: 36 months

  2. Progression Free Survival

    To assess the effect of napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel versus weekly paclitaxel on the Progression Free Survival (PFS) of patients with previously treated advanced, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first objective documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause.

    Measured: 36 months

  3. Progression Free Survival in Biomarker Positive Patients

    To assess the effect of napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel versus weekly paclitaxel on the Progression Free Survival (PFS) of patients with previously treated advanced, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer in biomarker positive patients. PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first objective documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause. This biomarker-positive sub-population is defined as those patients with phospho-STAT3 based on immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue.

    Measured: 36 months

  4. Disease Control Rate in Biomarker Positive Patients

    To assess the effect of napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel versus weekly paclitaxel on the Disease Control Rate (DCR) of patients with previously treated advanced, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with a documented complete response, partial response, and stable disease (CR + PR + SD) based on RECIST 1.1. This biomarker-positive sub-population is defined as those patients with phospho-STAT3 based on immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue.

    Measured: 36 months

  5. Quality of Life (QoL)

    QoL will be measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30) in patients with previously treated advanced, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel versus weekly paclitaxel.

    Measured: 36 months

  6. Disease Control Rate

    To assess the effect of napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel versus weekly paclitaxel on the Disease Control Rate (DCR) of patients with previously treated advanced, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with a documented complete response, partial response, and stable disease (CR + PR + SD) based on RECIST 1.1.

    Measured: 36 months

  7. Number of Patients With Adverse Events

    All patients who have received at least one dose of napabucasin will be included in the safety analysis according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.0. The incidence of adverse events will be summarized by type of adverse event and severity.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Napabucasin and Paclitaxel in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. at 5 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 7 inclusion and 10 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 15 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 15 Jun 2021). 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?

Overall Survival (time frame: 36 months). 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 15 Nov 2023.
