About this trial

The investigators propose to study the carbonic anhydrase inhibition (acetazolamide) associated with concomitant radiochemotherapy or radioimmunotherapy in small cell lung cancer due to:

1. The over-expression of carbonic anhydrases in this type of cancer, 2. The Anti-tumor effect in preclinical acetazolamide in various tumor lines including neuroendocrine tumor lines, 3. The observed synergy between irradiation and inhibition of carbonic anhydrases, 4. Potential anti-tumor immune effect caused by decreased extracellular acidity.

  • acetazolamide in combination with radioimmunotherapy in patients with extensive SCLC

    Drug

    acetazolamide in combination with radioimmunotherapy in patients with extensive SCLC

Treatment groups

27 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Localized SCLCExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Extensive SCLCOther 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To identify the Tolerated Maximum Dose (DMT) and Recommended Dose (DR) of acetazolamide in combination with radiotherapy combined with platinum and etoposide chemotherapy (localized SCLC) or with radioimmunotherapy (extensive SCLC)

The frequency of limiting dose toxicities determined by the number of Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.03 : * during the 6 weeks of treatment with acetazolamide / chemoradiation based on platinum and etoposide and in the first 6 months of follow-up after the last administration of the treatment * during the 10 days of treatment with acetazolamide / radioimmunotherapy and in the first 6 months after the last administration of the treatment with radioimmunotherapy, for the "extensive SCLC" subgroup

Time frame
8 months

Secondary outcomes

1

To determine the overall tolerance of the association acetazolamide and radiochemotherapy (localized SCLC) or of the association acetazolamide and radioimmunotherapy (extensive)SCLC)

The overall tolerability of the treatments will be measured by clinical (performance status), laboratory (blood sample), and paraclinical evaluations (ETT, EFR) and defined on the NCI CTCAE V4.03 scale

Time frame
27 months
2

To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment

The tumor response (complete or partial, stabilization, progression) will be performed by Morphological evaluations using a scanner according to RECIST 1.1 criteria

Time frame
24 months
3

To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment

The tumor response (complete or partial, stabilization, progression) will be performed by Metabolic evaluations using a PET-CT scan according to the criteria PERCIST 1.0

Time frame
24 months
4

To identify predictive factors for response to acetazolamide

The evaluation of predictive factors of acetazolamide response will be determined by serum CAIX and CAXII levels (in the 7 days before the start of acetazolamide and the end-of-treatment visit)

Time frame
3 months
