Alternate Title

Pemetrexed Disodium and Cisplatin With or Without Cediranib Maleate in Treating Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Basic Trial Information

PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
Phase II, Phase ITreatmentActive18 and overNCISWOG-S0905
S0905, NCT01064648

Objectives

  1. To establish the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase II dose of cediranib maleate in combination with pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. (Phase I) (completed as of 9-9-2011)
  2. To compare the progression-free survival of patients treated with pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin with vs without cediranib maleate. (Phase II)
  3. To compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens. (Phase II)
  4. To assess the safety and toxicity profile of these regimens.
  5. To assess the response rate (confirmed and unconfirmed, complete and partial responses) and disease control rate (responsive or stable disease) using RECIST criteria and modified RECIST criteria for pleural tumors in a subset of patients with measurable disease. (Phase II)
  6. To assess the rate of agreement between local and central pathology review of mesothelioma and its histologic subtypes. (Phase II)
  7. To collect specimens for banking for use in future research studies. (Phase II)

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant pleural mesothelioma

  • Must be able to swallow oral medications
  • No mean QTc > 500 msec (with Bazett correction) by ECG or other significant ECG abnormality
  • No NYHA class III-IV congestive heart failure
  • No clinically significant hemoptysis, defined as > 1 tablespoon of bright red blood, within the past year

Response rate (confirmed and unconfirmed, complete and partial responses) (Phase II)
Disease control rate (responsive or stable disease) (Phase II)

Outline

This is a multicenter, phase I dose-escalation study of cediranib maleate (completed as of 9-9-2011) followed by a phase II randomized study. Patients enrolled in the phase II portion of the study are stratified according to Zubrod performance status (0-1 vs 2) and histologic subtype (epithelioid vs biphasic/sarcomatoid).

  • Phase I: Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes and cisplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 and oral cediranib maleate once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive oral cediranib maleate alone once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. (completed as of 9-9-2011)

  • Phase II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
    • Arm I: Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes and cisplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 and oral cediranib maleate once daily at the maximum tolerated dose determined in phase I on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive oral cediranib maleate alone once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

    • Arm II: Patients receive pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin as in arm I and oral placebo once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive oral placebo alone once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically for up to 3 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
