About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Poziotinib and Ramucirumab in EGFR Exon 20 Mutant Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This phase II trial tests whether poziotinib and ramucirumab work to shrink tumors in patients with EGFR Exon 20 gene mutant stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Poziotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving poziotinib and ramucirumab may help to control the disease.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of poziotinib and ramucirumab as measured by progression free survival.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To estimate the objective response rate per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 for the combination of poziotinib and ramucirumab.

II. To estimate the disease control rate (complete response + partial response + stable disease), overall survival, and duration of response of the study combination.

III. To assess the safety and the toxicity of the study combination.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess molecular markers associated with resistance and response to poziotinib and ramucirumab.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive poziotinib hydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on day 1 and ramucirumab intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on days 1 and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 30 days, then every 6 months thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Poziotinib Hydrochloride and 1429757-68-5, HM781-36B, NOV-1201 Hydrochloride, NOV120101 Hydrochloride, Poziotinib HCl, POZIOTINIB HYDROCHLORIDE in people with Metastatic Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma and Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

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 20 inclusion and 41 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Progression-free survival (time frame: From start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed 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 13 Sep 2023.
