Phase I Trial of CArbonic Anhydrase Inhibition in Combination with Radiochemotherapy or Radioimmunotherapy in Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
- Conditions
- Small Cell Lung Cancer
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT03467360
- Lead Sponsor
- Centre Antoine Lacassagne
- Brief Summary
The investigators propose to study the carbonic anhydrase inhibition (acetazolamide) associated with concomitant radiochemotherapy or radioimmunotherapy in small cell lung cancer due to:
1. The over-expression of carbonic anhydrases in this type of cancer,
2. The Anti-tumor effect in preclinical acetazolamide in various tumor lines including neuroendocrine tumor lines,
3. The observed synergy between irradiation and inhibition of carbonic anhydrases,
4. Potential anti-tumor immune effect caused by decreased extracellular acidity.
- Detailed Description
Compared with healthy cells, glucose metabolism is greatly modified in cancer cells because of their highly proliferative character. This differential tumor / healthy tissue property is an opportunity to be able to propose a treatment whose therapeutic gain can be major (targeted treatment). Preclinical studies are multiple and showed that the targeting of overexpressed proteins (carbonic anhydrases) and involved in glycolytic metabolism can lead to a significant anti-tumor effect. This has never been tested in humans.
Acetazolamide is a molecule commonly used for non carcinologic purposes but has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in preclinical studies; there is also synergy radiotherapy / targeting of carbonic anhydrases. Therefore, the investigators propose to study the combination of acetazolamide / radiotherapy / chemotherapy with platinum and etoposide in localized Small Cell Lung cancer, or associated with radioimmunotherapy (extensive SCLC).
This would be the first study:
* targeting glucose metabolism,
* testing the effectiveness of acetazolamide in oncology,
* testing the synergy radiotherapy / targeting glycolytic metabolism,
* trying to manipulate the anti-tumor immune system indirectly, by decreasing extracellular acidosis.

Group Intervention Description Localized SCLC acetazolamide in combination with platinum and etoposide-based radiochemotherapy non randomized, open-label extension cohort, evaluating the safety of acetazolamide in combination with platinum and etoposide-based radiochemotherapy in patients with Localized small lung cancer Extensive SCLC acetazolamide in combination with radioimmunotherapy in patients with extensive SCLC non randomized, open-label extension cohort, evaluating the safety of acetazolamide in combination with radioimmunotherapy in patients with extensive small cell lung cancer
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To identify the Tolerated Maximum Dose (DMT) and Recommended Dose (DR) of acetazolamide in combination with radiotherapy combined with platinum and etoposide chemotherapy (localized SCLC) or with radioimmunotherapy (extensive SCLC) 8 months The frequency of limiting dose toxicities determined by the number of Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.03 :
* during the 6 weeks of treatment with acetazolamide / chemoradiation based on platinum and etoposide and in the first 6 months of follow-up after the last administration of the treatment
* during the 10 days of treatment with acetazolamide / radioimmunotherapy and in the first 6 months after the last administration of the treatment with radioimmunotherapy, for the "extensive SCLC" subgroup
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To determine the overall tolerance of the association acetazolamide and radiochemotherapy (localized SCLC) or of the association acetazolamide and radioimmunotherapy (extensive)SCLC) 27 months The overall tolerability of the treatments will be measured by clinical (performance status), laboratory (blood sample), and paraclinical evaluations (ETT, EFR) and defined on the NCI CTCAE V4.03 scale
To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment 24 months The tumor response (complete or partial, stabilization, progression) will be performed by Metabolic evaluations using a PET-CT scan according to the criteria PERCIST 1.0
To identify predictive factors for response to acetazolamide 30 months The evaluation of predictive factors of acetazolamide response will be determined by:
o The initial 18-FDG PET-CT scan (SUVmax, SULpeak) fixation intensity and 3 months after treatment,To evaluate progression-free survival at 24 months 24 months To determine the delay between the date of inclusion and the date of progression or death
To evaluate overall survival at 24 months 24 months To determine the delay between the date of inclusion and the date of death
To determine the compliance of acetazolamide 27 months Compliance assessment will be done using Girerd's questionnaire
