Evaluation of Lucanthone to Whole Brain Radiation Therapy in Patients With Brain Metastases From Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Brain Metastases, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

In brief

This is a randomized, double blind placebo controlled study to evaluate safety and efficacy of lucanthone administered as an adjunct to patients receiving whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) as primary treatment for brain metastases secondary to non-small cell lung cancer.

• The patient is willing and able to abide by the protocol.
• The patient is between age 18 and 70 (between 19 and 70 in Alabama).
• The patient has histologically proven NSCLC with radiologically documented brain metastases.
• Newly diagnosed or stable systemic disease, on or off systemic therapy.
• If receiving systemic therapy for NSCLC, at least two weeks since patient received systemic therapy.

• The patient has a screening ALT/AST greater than 2.5 times the upper limit of the laboratory reference range.
• The patient has an unstable medical condition or significant comorbid pathophysiology (e.g. active infection, poorly controlled diabetes, unstable angina, severe heart failure) that would interfere with his/her participation in the study.
• The patient is enrolled, or plans to enroll, in a concurrent treatment protocol with another investigational product.
• The patient has received prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy within two weeks of beginning WBRT on protocol.
• The patient is allergic to gadolinium contrast.
