Cediranib Maleate and Whole Brain Radiation Therapy in Patients With Brain Metastases From Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

March 7, 2013 updated by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

A Phase 1 Study of AZD2171 and WBRT in Patients With Brain Metastases

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cediranib maleate when given together with whole brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving cediranib maleate together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the safety and tolerability (maximum tolerated dose, or MTD) of AZD2171 when combined with WBRT in patients with brain metastases.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To describe the objective response rate (ORR) in the central nervous system (CNS), neurologic progression-free survival (N-PFS), overall survival, and cause of death, and to explore the vascular normalization window using serial, noninvasive imaging parameters.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive oral cediranib maleate on day 1. Patients undergo whole-brain radiotherapy 5 days a week for 3 weeks beginning on day 3. Treatment continues treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

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.

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.
