Summary

The primary objective of the study is to establish the phase II recommended dose of Vorinostat when administered in combination with the regimen of carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab for patients with previously untreated advanced non-small cell lunc cancer.

Clinical Details

Official title: Phase I Study of Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, Bevacizumab and Vorinostat for Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Study design: Treatment, Open Label, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Establish the phase II recommended dose (P2RD) of Vorinostat when administered in combination with the regimen of carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab for patients with previously untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Secondary outcome: Evaluate safety profile of 4-drug regimen. Obtain preliminary evidence regarding anti-cancer activity of the regimen. Understand mechanistic aspects of drug effect by conducting correlative science studies on peripheral blood and archived tumor tissue.

Detailed description: Since the regimen of bevacizumab, carboplatin and paclitaxel has become a standard regimen for the treatment of advanced non-squamous NSCLC, new studies in this patient population will have to include this as a reference arm. Addition of a fourth anti-cancer agent has now become the new strategy to improve the outcome for advanced non-squamous NSCLC. Since the regimen of Vorinostat, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel is already in advanced stage of development it is important to study the safety and tolerability of Vorinostat in combination with the three-drug regimen of Bevacizumab, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel. Therefore, we will evaluate Vorinostat when administered in combination with the regimen of Carboplatin, Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab for patients with previously untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
