Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Oblimersen in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Cancer and Leukemia Group B
Collaborator:	National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by:	National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00042978

Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Oblimersen may increase the effectiveness of carboplatin and etoposide by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without oblimersen in treating patients who have extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Survival time [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Study Start Date:	April 2003
Primary Completion Date:	February 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Compare the percentage of patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer who live longer than 12 months after receiving treatment with carboplatin and etoposide with or without oblimersen.
Compare the response rate of patients treated with these regimens.
Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients receive oblimersen IV continuously on days 1-8, carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 6, and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 6-8.
Arm II: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3.

In both arms, treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 55 patients (41 for arm I and 14 for arm II) will be accrued for this study within 11 months.
