CPI-613 in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01931787
Lead Sponsor
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies CPI-613 (6,8-bis\[benzylthio\]octanoic acid) in treating patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer. CPI-613 may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and anti-cancer activities in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have failed 1 or 2 lines of chemotherapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive CPI-613 intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on days 1 and 4 of weeks 1-3. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 2 months.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients receiving any other standard or investigational treatment for their cancer, or any investigational agent for any non-cancer indication within the past 2 weeks prior to initiation of CPI-613 treatment

  • Men unwilling to practice contraceptive methods during the study period
  • Life expectancy less than 1 month
  • Treatment with any anti-cancer therapy within the 2 weeks prior to treatment with CPI-613
  • Patients with untreated central nervous system (CNS) or epidural tumor
  • Any condition or abnormality which may, in the opinion of the investigator, compromise his or her safety
  • Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements
  • Active heart disease including myocardial infarction within previous 6 months, symptomatic coronary artery disease, arrhythmias not controlled with medication, or symptomatic congestive heart failure
  • Evidence of active infection or serious infection (e.g., septic shock with multi-organ dysfunction) within the past month

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Tumor response rates, defined as the proportion of patients who achieve complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD)Up to 3 years

The proportion of responders as the percent of patients who are SD, PR and CR will be estimated, as well as RR (sum of PR + CR) and disease control rate (DCR, which is the sum of SD, PR and CR). 95% confidence intervals will be included.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free survival (PFS)Up to 3 years

Survival curves for PFS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier techniques. In addition, the 6 month and 1-year PFS rates will be estimated. Median PFS will be estimated as well.

Overall survival (OS)Up to 3 years

Survival curves for OS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier techniques. In addition, the 6 month and 1-year OS rates will be estimated. Median OS will be estimated as well.
