Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vorinostat, Paclitaxel, and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients Unable to Tolerate Cisplatin With Stage III Non-Small Lung Cancer That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery (NCT NCT00662311)

NCT ID: NCT00662311

Last Updated: 2017-06-14

Results Overview

Defined as the highest dose level at which no more than 1 of 6 patients experiences dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Toxicity was graded according to the National Institutes of Health Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. A DLT was defined as any Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic adverse event with the exception of alopecia, fatigue, or anorexia. Nausea and/or vomiting that persisted \> 48 hours despite optimal medical management at grade 3 or higher was considered a DLT. Hematologic dose-limiting toxicity was defined as either: Grade 4 neutropenia lasting for ≥ 7 days in duration, Grade \> 3 febrile neutropenia with/without infection, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or Grade 5 hematologic toxicity.

MTD of Vorinostat When Administered in Combination With Paclitaxel and Radiotherapy Therapy as Assessed by NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0 (Phase I)
NA mg
Due to adverse events we were unable to increase the vorinostat dosing beyond the first cohort of 200mg. The study was terminated prior to identifying the MTD.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks post-treatment, then every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for a year thereafter

Count of participants with stable disease or partial response. Patients were evaluated for treatment response per RECIST criteria (version 1.0).
