  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the combination of one standard treatment for lung cancer plus an additional drug, hydroxychloroquine. The standard treatment for lung cancer being used includes 2 chemotherapy drugs, called paclitaxel and carboplatin. Some patients who have a specific type of lung cancer can also receive another drug, a drug that targets blood vessels, called bevacizumab (also known as avastin). Hydroxychloroquine is an FDA approved drug for the treatment of malaria, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosis.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy [ Time Frame: 15 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The primary objective of this study is to assess the antitumor activity, as measured by tumor response rate, of paclitaxel, carboplatin, Bevacizumab (for eligible patients) and hydroxychloroquine in patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC cancer.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Survival [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    1.2.1 To measure time to progression, percent one-year survival and overall survival

  • Number of subjects with adverse events [ Time Frame: 15 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 17

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

A patient is eligible for enrollment if all of the following inclusion criteria are met:

  • Signed a protocol-specific informed consent.
  • 18 years of age or older.
  • ECOG Performance Status 0 or 1. (see Appendix A)

Cancer criteria:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer. Mixed tumors will be categorized by the predominant cell type unless small cell elements are present, in which case the patient is ineligible. Cytologic or histologic elements can be established on metastatic tumor aspirate or biopsy. Sputum cytology alone is not sufficient.
  • Advanced stage NSCLC (stage IVa ((malignant pleural effusion (is now staged as stage IVa by the most recent staging system), or stage IV, or recurrent disease)).
  • Measurable disease according to RECIST criteria.
  • Patient with CNS metastasis are required to have stable disease documented by being off treatment (surgery, radiation therapy) for at least 2 weeks, and four (4) weeks is preferred. A contrast enhanced brain CT or brain MRI is required within 35 days of enrollment. Patients with brain metastases who qualify for protocol therapy will be included in Cohort 2 (ineligible for treatment with Bevacizumab).
  • No prior cytotoxic chemotherapy or targeted therapy in the advanced or metastatic setting. Post-operative adjuvant therapy for previously resected NSCLC is allowed as long as the last dose was given greater than 1 year before study entry, and there is current evidence of disease progression.
  • Prior radiation to sites other than the brain is allowed, if completed at least 2 weeks before treatment and provided that all radiation-related toxicities have resolved to ≤ Grade 1.
  • No active malignancy other than NSCLC. Patients with a history of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or ductal or lobular carcinoma in situ of the breast within the past 3 years must have been treated with curative intent. Patients with a history of prior malignancy are eligible provided they were treated with curative intent and have been free of disease for > 3 years.
