About this trial

This phase I trial finds out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of papaverine when given together with chemoradiation intreating patients with stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. Papaverine targets mitochondrial metabolism to decrease the cancer growth process. Giving papaverine with chemoradiation may work best to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All prior treatment-related toxicities must be Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) (version 5.0) =< grade 1 (except alopecia) at the time of enrollment

Absolute neutrophil count >=1.5 x 10^9/L

Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL

Platelets >= 100 x 10^9/L

Disqualifiers

Patients with history of pneumonectomy

History of active connective tissue disease (scleroderma) or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

History of previous radiation therapy which would result in overlapping radiation fields

Subjects who are breast-feeding and plan to continue breast-feeding during therapy, or have a positive pregnancy test will be excluded from the study. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of papaverine (PPV) in combination with chemoradiation treatment (CRT) or definitive hypofractionated radiation therapy

Will employ the Time-to-event Bayesian optimal interval design to find the MTD. Treatment-related toxicity will be assessed based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 criteria.

Time frame
6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Primary tumor control rate

Defined as the absence of primary tumor failure. Will be calculated and 95% exact binomial confidence interval will be provided.

Time frame
At 12 and 24 months post-treatment
2

Local control rate

Defined as the absence of local failure, which is a combination of primary tumor and involved lobe failure. Will be calculated and 95% exact binomial confidence interval will be provided.

Time frame
At 12 and 24 months post-treatment
3

Time to local-regional progression

Will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier method.

Time frame
From entry on the study until the time of documented local-regional recurrence or death, assessed at 12 and 24 months post-treatment
4

Disease-free survival

Will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier method.

Time frame
From entry on the study until the time of any documented disease recurrence or death, assessed at 12 and 24 months post-treatment
