CPI-613 and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

July 30, 2018 updated by: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

A Phase I/II Open-Label Dose Escalation Trial of CPI-613 in Combination With Docetaxel Chemotherapy as a Second-Line Treatment of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid (CPI-613) when given together with docetaxel and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CPI-613 and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the maximum tolerate dose (MTD) of CPI-613 when used in combination with docetaxel therapy in advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (Phase1) II. To evaluate the response rate in patients receiving CPI-613 in combination with docetaxel therapy. (Phase 2)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the safety of CPI-613 addition to docetaxel therapy. II. To determine the progression-free survival with CPI-613 in combination with docetaxel therapy at 27 weeks.

III. To determine the median progression-free survival with CPI-613 in combination with docetaxel therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of CPI-613 followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive CPI-613 intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on days 1 and 3, and docetaxel IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients that achieve stable disease after 6 courses then receive CPI-613 alone on days 1and 3. Courses repeat every 21 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days and then periodically for 2 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have had immunotherapy or tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy within two weeks prior to entering the study

  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to CPI-613 or docetaxel
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study; breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with CPI-613
  • Any condition that may, in the opinion of the investigator, compromise the safety of the patient
