Pegylated Irinotecan NKTR 102 in Treating Patients With Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2020-02-24
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well pegylated irinotecan NKTR 102 works in treating patients with small cell lung cancer that has returned after a period of improvement. Pegylated irinotecan NKTR 102 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Roswell Park Cancer Institute
• Collaborators: National Cancer Institute (NCI); Nektar Therapeutics
• Treatments: Camptothecin; Irinotecan; Topoisomerase I Inhibitors

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Written informed consent granted prior to initiation of any study-specific screening procedures, given with the understanding that the patient has the right to withdraw from the study at any time, without prejudice

• Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of SCLC (Note: patients with mixed histology are not eligible)

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1

• Presence of measurable disease defined as >= 1 lesion whose longest diameter can be accurately measured as >= 20 mm with conventional techniques or as >= 10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT)

• Previously treated SCLC with only one prior treatment regimen (cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/vincristine [CAV] alternating with etoposide/cisplatin [EP] is acceptable)

• Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, or surgery to National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 grade =< 1, except for diarrhea (which must be grade 0 without supportive antidiarrheal medications) and alopecia (any grade)

• Platelet count >= 100 x 10^9/L

• Hemoglobin (Hgb) >= 9 gm/dL

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500/uL

• Serum creatinine =< 1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance > 45 mL/min; use either measured or calculated with Cockcroft-Gault formula

• Serum total bilirubin =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 x ULN or =< 5 x ULN if caused by liver metastasis

• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test performed within seven days prior to the start of study drug; male and female subjects of child-bearing potential must agree to use double-barrier contraceptive measures, or avoidance of intercourse during the study and for 6 months after last investigational drug dose received

Exclusion Criteria:

• Previous anti-cancer chemotherapy, immunotherapy or investigational agents < 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to the first day of study defined treatment; palliative radiation < 2 weeks, biological therapy within 2 weeks, hormonal therapy within 1 week prior to day 1 cycle 1

• Prior treatment with a topoisomerase-I inhibitor (e.g., topotecan, irinotecan)

• Prior malignancy except for non-melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ, unless diagnosed and definitively treated more than 5 years prior to enrollment

• Substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that may, in the opinion of the Investigator, interfere with the patient's participation in the study or evaluation of the study results

• Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

• Pregnancy or breast-feeding

• Concurrent administration or received cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4) inducers or inhibitors within 2 weeks prior to the first day of study drug treatment

• Patients with chronic or acute gastrointestinal (GI) disorders resulting in diarrhea of any severity grade; patients who are using chronic anti-diarrheal supportive care (more than 3 days/week) to control diarrhea in the 28 days prior to study entry

• Major surgery < 4 weeks or minor surgery (e.g. talc pleurodesis, excisional biopsy, etc) < 2 weeks prior to the first day of study defined treatment

• Have central nervous system (CNS) metastases (unless the patient has completed successful local therapy for CNS metastases and has been off corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks before starting study therapy); brain imaging is required in symptomatic patients to rule out brain metastases, but is not required in asymptomatic patients

• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

• Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements
