Study summary

This is a Phase 1/Phase 2 study of STI571 combined with docetaxel and cisplatin for treatment of patients with recurrent and metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

This research study has 2 parts to it. The first part (Phase 1) is called a dose-escalation. Not all subjects enrolled into this phase of the study will receive the same dose. The purpose of the dose-escalation is to determine the highest safe dose of STI571 that can be used in combination with docetaxel and cisplatin. That dose will be used in Phase 2.

  • ECOG performance status 0-1.
  • Meets initial laboratory parameters.
  • Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using effective contraception while on treatment and for at least 3 months thereafter.

Interventions

  • DrugDocetaxel, Cisplatin and STI571

    Treatment will consist of docetaxel plus cisplatin IV every 21days and oral STI571 given on Days -5 to 2 with each chemotherapy cycle. A maximum of 6 cycles will be given. Phase 1 dose levels are: * Level 1 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 60 mg/m2, STI571 300mg * Level 2 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 60 mg/m2, STI571 400mg * Level 3 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 70 mg/m2, STI571 400mg * Level 4 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 70 mg/m2, STI571 600mg * Level 5 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 75 mg/m2, STI571 600mg * Level 6 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 75 mg/m2, STI571 800mg Once the MTD level has been established, the previous dose level will be the dosing schedule for Phase II.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Phase 1 - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of STI571

    To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of STI571, docetaxel, and cisplatin, when administered in combination for the treatment of patients with chemo-naïve recurrent and metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC.

    Time frame: After cycle 1, day 22

  2. Phase 1 - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Docetaxel and Cisplatin

    To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of STI571, docetaxel, and cisplatin when administered in combination for the treatment of patients with chemo-naïve recurrent and metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC.

    Time frame: After cycle 1, day 22

  3. Phase II - Radiographic Response

    The percentage of patients with a complete or partial response. Responses for the Phase II portion of the trial will be by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria as follows: Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR): at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Time frame: After Cycle 6, approximately 18 weeks.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Phase 2: 1 Year Survival

    Phase II: Percentage of patients alive 1 year from the start of protocol treatment.

    Time frame: 1 year

  2. Change in Gd-MRI Measurement

    The change in Gd-MRI perfusion/permeability measurement between pre and post 7-day of STI571 treatment.

    Time frame: Day 7
