Phase I Study of the Combination of Afatinib and Ruxolitinib in Patients With Treatment-refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
NSCLC
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02145637
Lead Sponsor
Yonsei University
Brief Summary

This phase Ib study will investigate dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of afatinib and ruxolitinib combination therapy, based on the preclinical data that inhibition of IL-6R/JAK1 signal transmission pathway will increase sensitivity to afatinib.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To set a recommended phase II dose (RP2D)36 days

We will set a recommended phase II dose (RP2D) using conventional 3+3 deisgn.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety and tolerability (dose relating toxicity; DLT)1year

Adverse events (AEs) will be assessed according to NCI common toxicity criteria (CTC) version 4.03.

Overall survival (OS)1year

OS will be defined as the start of the treatment to the date of death due to any cause.

Progression free survival (PFS)1year

PFS will be defined as the start of the treatment to the first occurrence of progression, relapse, or death from any cause as assessed by the investigator.

Pharmacodynamic biomarker1year

The biomarkers marker related with EGFR and JAK/STAT pathway as well as gene analysis, using peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC), circulating tumor cell (CTC) and skin and tumor tissue sample will be analyzed.

Overall response rate (ORR)1year

Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using modified international criteria proposed by the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1)
