Brief Summary:

Background:

  • Carboplatin-paclitaxel is a commonly used chemotherapy combination for advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and other solid tumors. In a randomized clinical trial, the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and the additional chemotherapy drug bevacizumab had a better response rate and survival compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel alone. However, this trial treated only patients with a specific diagnosis and treatment risks. Further research is needed to determine whether this combination is useful for other diagnoses.
  • YM155 is a drug that targets a type of chemical often found in cancer cells. It has been investigated in several phase I and phase II clinical trials, and it has been shown to be well tolerated and moderately effective in treating advanced NSCLC in patients who had not responded well to one or two standard treatments.

Objectives:

- To determine the efficacy of the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and YM155 in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer.

Eligibility:

- Individuals 18 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma or other solid tumors for which standard therapy is not likely to be effective.

Design:

  • Before the start of the study, participants will be screened with a medical history, blood tests, imaging scans of the affected areas, tumor biopsies, and other tests as directed by the study doctors.
  • Participants will be treated for six 21-day cycles, or 18 weeks of treatment. Each cycle will include blood tests and imaging studies as required.
  • On day 1 of each cycle, participants will receive an infusion of paclitaxel and carboplatin, followed by a 4-day infusion of YM155 (through a portable electronic infusion pump).
  • Participants will have a computed tomography scan or other imaging every other cycle (approximately every 6 weeks) to determine whether the therapy is affecting the cancer site.
  • After the sixth cycle, participants will return for follow-up visits at least every 3 months, and will be asked to remain in contact with the researchers to allow further study of the long-term effects of the treatment.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: YM155 in Solid Tumors

Phase I: Doses were given at different dose levels until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached. Dose level 1: 3.6 mg/m^2, dose level 2:5 mg/m^2 , dose level 3:6 mg/m^2, dose level 4:8 mg/m^2, dose level 5:10 mg/m^2 (MTD), dose level 6:12 mg/m^2. Doses were given by continuous intravenous infusion over 72 hours every 21 days.Three patients were enrolled at each dose level in the absence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT). A DLT is defined as adverse events occurring during the first cycle of therapy (e.g. every 21 days).

Phase II: 10 mg/m^2 (MTD)intravenous infusion over 72 hours every 21 days.

 Drug: YM155

Phase I: Doses were given at different dose levels until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached. Dose level 1: 3.6 mg/m^2, dose level 2:5 mg/m^2 , dose level 3:6 mg/m^2, dose level 4:8 mg/m^2, dose level 5:10 mg/m^2 (MTD), dose level 6:12 mg/m^2. Doses were given by continuous intravenous infusion over 72 hours every 21 days.Three patients were enrolled at each dose level in the absence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT). A DLT is defined as adverse events occurring during the first cycle of therapy (e.g. every 21 days).

Phase II: 10 mg/m^2 (MTD)intravenous infusion over 72 hours every 21 days.


Drug: Carboplatin
Area under curve (AUC) of 6 intravenous on day 1
Other Name: Paraplatin

Drug: Paclitaxel
200 mg/m^2 intravenous on day 1

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Phase 1 Safe and Tolerable Phase 2 Dose. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]

    Phase I: Doses were given at different dose levels until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached. Dose level 1: 3.6 mg/m^2, dose level 2:5 mg/m^2 , dose level 3:6 mg/m^2, dose level 4:8 mg/m^2, dose level 5:10 mg/m^2 (MTD), dose level 6:12 mg/m^2. Doses were given by continuous intravenous infusion over 72 hours every 21 days.Three patients were enrolled at each dose level in the absence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT). A DLT is defined as adverse events occurring during the first cycle of therapy (e.g. every 21 days).

    Phase 2 dose is based upon dose limiting toxicities experienced during cycle 1.


  2. Phase 2 Objective Response Rate (Partial Response (PR) + Complete Response (CR)). [ Time Frame: up to 18 weeks ]
    Response was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Complete response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.Partial response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 31.5 months ]
    Here is the number of participants with adverse events. For a detailed list of adverse events see the adverse event module.
