Celecoxib and Erlotinib in Treating Former Smokers With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

October 9, 2014 updated by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Phase I Study of Erlotinib and Celecoxib in Former Smokers With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of celecoxib when given together with erlotinib in treating former smokers with stage IIIB, stage IV, recurrent, or progressive non-small cell lung cancer. Celecoxib and erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To estimate the clinical toxicity and tolerability of erlotinib combined with celecoxib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the tumor response rate of erlotinib combined with celecoxib in patients with advanced NSCLC.

II. To estimate the dose of celecoxib that results in maximal induction of apoptosis, maximal inhibition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in bronchoalveolar (BAL) fluid, and maximal inhibition of bronchial cell proliferation when combined with erlotinib.

III. To estimate the effect of erlotinib and the combination of erlotinib and celecoxib on bronchial expression of COX-2.

IV. To estimate the effect of erlotinib and the combination of erlotinib (and celecoxib on autophosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in skin and endobronchial biopsies.

V. To estimate the degree of correlation of autophosphorylation of EGFR in skin and endobronchial samples.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the effect of the combination of erlotinib and COX-2 inhibitor (celecoxib) on the frequency of fractional allelic loss (FAL) in endobronchial biopsies, metaplasia and dysplasia in endobronchial biopsies, and endobronchial proliferation.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation study of celecoxib.

Patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily and oral celecoxib twice daily. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 6 patients receive escalating doses of celecoxib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, up to 6 additional patients are treated at the MTD.

Patients are followed at 4 weeks.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study
