Trial Outcomes & Findings for Azacitidine and Entinostat Before Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT NCT01935947)

NCT ID: NCT01935947

Last Updated: 2018-07-27

Results Overview

The final analysis will be by Fisher's Exact test, with percentage of patients who have not progressed as the outcome variable. Using Fisher's Exact test for analysis with 55 patients per treatment group will provide 88% power to detect an increase from 40% (chemotherapy alone) to 65% (epigenetic therapy followed by chemotherapy) in the number of patients who are progression free at six months.

Measure
Arm I (Azacitidine, Entinostat, Chemotherapy)
Patients receive azacitidine SC on days 1-6 and 8-10 and entinostat PO on days 3 and 10. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses, then chemotherapy. Treatment repeats every 21 days.
Arm II (Azacitidine, Entinostat, Chemotherapy)
Patients receive azacitidine PO on days 1-21 and entinostat PO on days 3 and 10. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses. Patients receive chemotherapy of the treating oncologist's choice as in Arm A.
