Trial Outcomes & Findings for R-(-)-Gossypol Acetic Acid in Treating Patients With Recurrent Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT NCT00773955)

NCT ID: NCT00773955

Last Updated: 2014-05-12

Results Overview

The number of successes will be estimated by counting the number of participants with confirmed responses. A confirmed tumor response is defined to be either a CR or PR noted as the objective status on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions: A Complete Response (CR) requires the disappearance of all target lesions A Partial Response (PR) requires a \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions from baseline measurements.

Participant Flow

From November 2008 to January 2010, 15 patients were accrued to the study from five sites within the Mayo Clinic Phase 2 Consortium and the California Consortium.

One patient discontinued therapy after one cycle of treatment due to persistent grade 1 thrombocytopenia. Therefore, fourteen patients were evaluable for the primary end point at the interim analysis. All 15 patients were included in secondary endpoint analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During the first 6 courses of treatment

Population: One patient discontinued therapy after one cycle of treatment due to persistent grade 1 thrombocytopenia. Therefore, fourteen patients were evaluable for the primary end point at the interim analysis.

The number of successes will be estimated by counting the number of participants with confirmed responses. A confirmed tumor response is defined to be either a CR or PR noted as the objective status on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart.

Population: All 15 patients were analyzed for this endpoint.

Estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

Survival Time
8.5 months
Interval 8.1 to 10.2

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From registration to the earliest date documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 5 years

Population: All 15 patients were analyzed for this endpoint.

Time to disease progression is defined as the time from registration to the earliest date documentation of disease progression. Estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Per the RECIST criteria, progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of Longest Dimension (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
