Vorinostat and Bortezomib as Third-line Treatment in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

December 11, 2019 updated by: University of Wisconsin, Madison

Phase II Study of Vorinostat (SAHA, Zolinza) and Bortezomib (PS341, Velcade) as Third-Line Treatment in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of vorinostat and bortezomib in the third line treatment of advanced NSCLC, as well as to assess toxicity (including neuropathy) and tolerability of this regimen.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Current treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains inadequate. Vorinostat is a novel agent that inhibits the enzymatic activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs). Bortezomib is a small molecule proteasome inhibitor. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown the advantages of combining these two agents in the treatment of NSCLC

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Three-month Progression-free Survival
Time Frame: Three-months post-treatment
Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions."
Three-months post-treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Median Overall Survival
Time Frame: 5 years
5 years
Response Rate
Time Frame: Until disease progression, up to 2 years
Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) for target lesions and assessed by MRI, CT, or chest x-ray: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR+PR.
Until disease progression, up to 2 years
Toxicity
Time Frame: 30 days post-treatment
Graded using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0
