Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

June 17, 2013 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

A Pilot Trial of Daily Oral ZD1839 (Iressa) With Standard Doses of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of ZD 1839 given intermittently or continuously and concurrently with standard doses of carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. II. Determine the safety of ZD 1839 in these regimens in these patients. III. Determine whether the exposure of either free carboplatin or paclitaxel in an established treatment regimen is significantly altered by the addition of oral ZD 1839 in this patient population. IV. Determine the exposure of ZD 1839 before and after standard doses of carboplatin and paclitaxel to assess whether ZD 1839 steady state is significantly altered by coadministration of chemotherapy.

OUTLINE: This is an open label, 2 part, multicenter study. Part 1 is a randomized, dose escalation, 2 period, 2 sequence, crossover design. Part 2 is a nonrandomized, single dose evaluation design. Part 1: Patients are randomized to receive ZD 1839 beginning 1 week before either the first (arm I) or second (arm II) course of carboplatin and paclitaxel. Arm I: Patients receive oral ZD 1839 daily on days 1-14. On day 1 only, ZD 1839 is given twice at 12 hour intervals. Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on days 8 and 36. Subsequent courses consist of ZD 1839 for 14 days and paclitaxel and carboplatin every 28 days. Arm II: Patients receive paclitaxel and carboplatin as in arm I on days 1 and 29. Patients receive oral ZD 1839 daily on days 22-35. On day 22 only, ZD 1839 is given twice at 12 hour intervals. Subsequent courses are administered as in arm I. Part 2: Patients receive oral ZD 1839 daily on days 1-56. On day 1 only, ZD 1839 is given twice at 12 hour intervals. Patients receive paclitaxel and carboplatin as in part 1 on days 8 and 36. Subsequent courses consist of ZD 1839 continuously and paclitaxel and carboplatin every 28 days. Treatment continues in both parts for a maximum of 6 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. In both parts 1 and 2, cohorts of 6-12 patients receive escalating doses of ZD 1839 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 4 of 6 or 4 of 12 patients experience dose limiting toxicities.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 48 patients will be accrued for this study.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
