Brief summary

The goals of this study are: * to determine if the combination of two drugs, motexafin gadolinium and pemetrexed, may be an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had one previous chemotherapy regimen that included a platinum containing drug such as cisplatin or carboplatin. * to assess response to treatment in patients with NSCLC six months after beginning study treatment.

Interventions

DRUGMotexafin gadolinium and pemetrexed

1 dose of MGd 15 mg/kg and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 once during the first week of every 3-week treatment cycle for a maximum of 12 cycles

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
6 month progression free survivalup to 2 yearsproportion of patients who are still alive and who have not progressed clinically or radiographically 6 months after receiving their first dose of MGd.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to disease progressionup to 2 yearsTime to progression is defined as the time from first dose of MGd to first evidence of progression.
Progression free survivalup to 2 yearsProgression-free survival is defined as the time from first dose MGd to the earlier of progression or death.
Response rate (CR+PR) by RECIST criteriaup to 2 yearsPatient population for this endpoint consists of all patients receiving at least 1 dose of MGd and pemetrexed and underwent at least response assessment.
Overall survivalup to 2 yearsPatient population for this endpoint consists of all patients receiving at least 1 dose of MGd and pemetrexed.
Clinical benefit rate (CR+PR+SD)up to 2 yearsPatient population for this endpoint consists of all patients receiving at least 1 dose of MGd and pemetrexed and underwent at least response assessment
Safety and tolerability of MGd and pemetrexedup to 2 yearsAll patients who receive any MGd will be included in the safety summaries and analyses
Duaration of reponse (CR+PR)up to 2 yearsDuration of response (CR + PR) is defined as the time from first response to the time of disease progression.
