Conditions

Small Cell Lung Cancer

Brief summary

This study was a Phase I/II trial primarily focused on efficacy of BB-10901 in relapsed small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors.

Detailed description

The Phase II efficacy expansion was restricted to SCLC patients with relapsed disease and the MTD was determined by the Phase I portion of the trial (60mg/m2).

Interventions

I.V. Infusion - See Arms for dosage - Once/Week for three weeks - Until Progression of disease.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion: * Histologically or Cytologically proven SCLC, CD 56+ small cell carcinoma of unknown origin, or CD56+ non-pulmonary small cell carcinoma * Relapsed disease; defined as patients with an initial response (partial or complete) to first-line therapy, then relapse more than 3 months after completion of last chemotherapy. * Patients must have received no more than 3 prior chemotherapy regimen. * Patients must have measurable disease defined as: Lesions that can be measured in at least one dimension according to RECIST * Predicted survival of 3 months or more * Zubrod performance status 0-2 * Patients must not have received chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 4 weeks of study entry, nor have planned surgery. * Absolute neutrophils greater than or equal to 1.5 x 10\^9/l, hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9g/dl and platelets greater than or equal to 100 x 10\^9/l. * Creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal * AST/ALT less than or equal to 3 times the upper limit of normal without liver metastases; less than or equal to 5 times the upper limit of normal with liver metastases and bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal. * Patients must have normal thyroid function (patients receiving thyroxin replacement therapy who are biochemically euthyroid may be enrolled). * Women of childbearing potential must provide a negative pregnancy test at screening and use adequate contraception in the opinion of the investigator, for the duration of study. * Patients must be capable of understanding the nature of the trial and must give written witnessed informed consent prior to any screening procedure.

Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RESIST) [Phase I and II]

Response was evaluated by RESIST and Investigator assessment at baseline and every 6 weeks. CR: all target lesions disappear with no clinical or radiographic evidence of disease progression in 2 observations.

PD: Either a) the appearance of one or more new lesions, or b) at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameters of target lesions

Time frame: 6 weeks

Population: All patients with a baseline and follow up imaging scan were evaluated. Data represents information following the first cycle of treatment.
