Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies cisplatin and etoposide to see how well they work when given with or without Hedgehog inhibitor GDC-0449 (vismodegib) or IGF-1R MOAB IMC-A12 (cixutumumab) in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Etoposide may slow the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vismodegib may slow the growth of tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving cisplatin and etoposide are more effective when given together with vismodegib or cixutumumab in treating small cell lung cancer.

Phase 2

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC-ED) treated with cisplatin and etoposide (CE), CE with hedgehog (HH) inhibitor GDC-0449 (vismodegib), and CE with insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) monoclonal antibody (IMC-A12) (cixutumumab).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To evaluate response rate, overall survival, and toxicity for each arm. II. To explore putative correlates of clinical benefit from combination therapy in tumor and circulating tumor cells in patients treated on this protocol.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

ARM A (CE): Patients receive cisplatin (75 mg/m2) intravenously (IV) over 1-2 hours on day 1 and etoposide (100 mg/m2) IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B (CE +GDC-0449): Patients receive cisplatin and etoposide as in Arm A and vismodegib (GDC-0449; 150 mg tablet) orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive vismodegib alone QD in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM C (CE + IMC-A12): Patients receive cisplatin and etoposide as in Arm A and cixutumumab (IMC-A12; 6 mg/kg) IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive cixutumumab alone once weekly in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) [Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry]

      Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to death or disease progression, whichever occurred first. Patients who were alive at the time of analysis are censored at the date at which they are last known to be alive and progression-free.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Response Rate [Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry]

      Response rate is defined as number of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by all eligible and treated patients. Responses are evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline. CR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), and persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s).

    2. Overall Survival (OS) [Assessed every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry]

      Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death or date of last known alive.

    3. PFS [Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry]

      Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to death or disease progression, whichever occurred first. Patients who were alive at the time of analysis are censored at the date at which they are last known to be alive and progression-free. This analysis is to evaluate the association between PFS and circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Progression-free Survival (PFS)
    Description Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to death or disease progression, whichever occurred first. Patients who were alive at the time of analysis are censored at the date at which they are last known to be alive and progression-free.
    Time Frame Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry

    Statistical Analysis 1
    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Arm A (CE), Arm B (CE+GDC-0449)
    Comments There are 2 primary comparisons and each involves comparing the experimental arms (B, C) to the control arm (A). Accrual goal was 54 patients per arm. With a 1-sided 0.1 level logrank test for each test, we have 90% power to detect a 42% reduction in the PFS hazard rate of 0.139 to 0.082 (corresponding to an improvement in median PFS of 5 months to 8.5 months) with 18-month accrual and 12-month follow-up; assuming exponential survival. For each test, 94 events are needed to achieve this power.

    2. Secondary Outcome
    Title Response Rate
    Description Response rate is defined as number of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by all eligible and treated patients. Responses are evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline. CR is defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), and persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s).
    Time Frame Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry

Patients then receive vismodegib alone QD in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients receive cisplatin and etoposide as in Arm A and cixutumumab (IMC-A12; 6 mg/kg) IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive cixutumumab alone once weekly in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

    4. Secondary Outcome
    Title PFS
    Description Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to death or disease progression, whichever occurred first. Patients who were alive at the time of analysis are censored at the date at which they are last known to be alive and progression-free. This analysis is to evaluate the association between PFS and circulating tumor cells (CTCs).
    Time Frame Assessed every 6 weeks while on treatment or observation; follow-up after discontinuation of treatment or observation: every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-3 years from study entry

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Eligible and treated patients who had baseline CTC results available for analysis.
    Arm/Group Title High CTC Count Low CTC Count
    Arm/Group Description High CTC count is defined as greater than 100 CTCs per 7.5 ml at baseline. Low CTC count is defined as <= 100 CTCs per 7.5 ml at baseline.
