Bcl-2 Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotide G3139 and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Interventions
Biological: oblimersen sodium
Registration Number
NCT00005032
Lead Sponsor
University of Chicago
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bcl-2 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide G3139 may increase the effectiveness of a chemotherapy drug by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of bcl-2 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide G3139 and paclitaxel in treating patients who have recurrent small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the toxicity and feasibility of paclitaxel administration during continuous intravenous bcl-2 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide G3139 in patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer. II. Evaluate the clinical response of this patient population when treated with this regimen. III. Evaluate the correlation between bcl-2 expression in these patients and efficacy of this therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to whether they have received prior taxane therapy (yes vs no). Patients receive bcl-2 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide G3139 IV continuously on days 1-6 followed by 2 weeks of rest. Paclitaxel IV is administered over 3 hours on day 6 of each course. Treatment continues for a minimum of 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Intrapatient dose escalation is allowed. Patients are followed until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 19-33 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.
