Trial of PI-88 With Docetaxel in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Summary
PI-88 is a new experimental drug that inhibits tumour growth by reducing the formation of new blood vessels into tumours. Docetaxel is a standard second-line treatment offered to patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who haven't responded to first-line therapies (platinum-based drugs or radiotherapy). Of this group of patients, only 20% remain progression-free 6 months after starting docetaxel treatment. The PR88202 study has been designed to compare two different cancer treatments (docetaxel only, and docetaxel plus PI-88) and to work out which is more effective against the cancer. It is hoped that the combination of PI-88 with docetaxel will allow patients to extend the time it takes for their disease to progress, and also to improve their quality of life.
Description
PR88202 is an open-label randomized study. In the initial phase of the study, patients will be randomized to receive weekly docetaxel alone, or PI-88 in combination with weekly docetaxel. Both groups will receive docetaxel (30 mg/m2), administered by intravenous infusion on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. The second group only will receive PI-88 (250 mg/day) in addition to docetaxel; PI-88 will be administered by subcutaneous injection on days 1-4, 8-11 and 15-18 of each cycle. The primary efficacy endpoint is the non-progression rate at 6 months. In the extension phase of the study, patients in the combination arm who have stable disease or an objective response after up to six treatment cycles will remain on PI-88 alone as maintenance therapy. Patients who initially receive docetaxel alone and who have disease progression or unacceptable toxicity before the completion of six cycles will be eligible to receive PI-88 alone as third-line therapy.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Carcinoma, Bronchogenic
Malignant neoplasm arising from the epithelium of the BRONCHI. It represents a large group of epithelial lung malignancies which can be divided into two clinical groups: SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER and NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CARCINOMA.
Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
A form of highly malignant lung cancer that is composed of small ovoid cells (SMALL CELL CARCINOMA).
Carcinoma, Non-small-cell Lung
A heterogeneous aggregate of at least three distinct histological types of lung cancer, including SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA; ADENOCARCINOMA; and LARGE CELL CARCINOMA. They are dealt with collectively because of their shared treatment strategy.
Carcinoma, Small Cell
An anaplastic, highly malignant, and usually bronchogenic carcinoma composed of small ovoid cells with scanty neoplasm. It is characterized by a dominant, deeply basophilic nucleus, and absent or indistinct nucleoli. (From Stedman, 25th ed; Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1286-7)
Carcinoma, Lewis Lung
A carcinoma discovered by Dr. Margaret R. Lewis of the Wistar Institute in 1951. This tumor originated spontaneously as a carcinoma of the lung of a C57BL mouse. The tumor does not appear to be grossly hemorrhagic and the majority of the tumor tissue is a semifirm homogeneous mass. (From Cancer Chemother Rep 2 1972 Nov;(3)1:325) It is also called 3LL and LLC and is used as a transplantable malignancy.
Clinical Trials
To determine the effectiveness of CP-868,596 + docetaxel, AG-013736 + docetaxel and CP-868,596 + AG-013736 + docetaxel in patients previously treated for non-small cell lung cancer.
This trial will compare the effectiveness of Docetaxel with or without Carboplatin as second line chemotherapy in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, who have not been treated previo...

This is an open-label, randomized phase II trial of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) drug immunoconjugate, SGN-15, administered weekly in combination with weekly docetaxel. The primary objecti...
A Safety and Efficacy Trial of Amplimexon Plus Taxotere in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel as First-line Therapy for Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
It has been accepted and proven that patients with unresectable lung cancer can benefit from systemic chemotherapy. Traditional platinum-based therapy has significant side effects. Oxalip...
