Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Central Nervous System (CNS) Disease Control Rate (Cohort A and C)
At 12 weeks

Central nervous system (CNS) disease control (DC) is defined as a complete response (CR); partial response (PR); or stable disease (SD). The outcome is reported as the number and percentage of participants who achieve DC, a number without dispersion. Response criteria are as follows. Note that any lesion less than 10 mm in longest diameter (LD) is considered unchanged unless there is a ≥ 3 mm change in the sum of the LDs. * CR = Disappearance of all target lesions, sustained for ≥ 4 weeks with no new lesions; clinical condition stable or improved * PR = ≥ 30% decrease in target lesion LD and no new lesions, sustained for ≥ 4 weeks; clinical condition stable or improved * PD (progressive disease) = Any of 20% increase in target lesion LD; increase in T2/FLAIR non-enhancing lesions; any new lesions; non-target progression; or clinical deterioration * SD = Neither PR or PD

18 Week Progression-free Survival Rate
Time from registration to the date of first documented disease progression or death, assessed at 18 weeks

The distribution of time to disease progression will be estimated in each group using the method of Kaplan-Meier at 18 weeks.

Frequently asked questions about Pegylated Irinotecan

What is Pegylated Irinotecan used for?

Pegylated Irinotecan is an investigational oncology drug being studied for recurrent small cell lung carcinoma and stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is a small molecule developed by Nektar Therapeutics and has been evaluated in Phase 2 clinical trials for these indications.

What does Pegylated Irinotecan target?

Pegylated Irinotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor, targeting the enzyme topoisomerase I to disrupt DNA replication in cancer cells. This mechanism is intended to inhibit tumor growth in cancers such as recurrent small cell lung carcinoma and stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Who makes Pegylated Irinotecan?

Pegylated Irinotecan is developed by Nektar Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company. The company has conducted clinical trials for this drug in oncology indications, including recurrent small cell lung carcinoma and stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

What phase is Pegylated Irinotecan in?

Pegylated Irinotecan is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed Phase 2 trials for recurrent small cell lung carcinoma and stage IV non-small cell lung cancer, but it is not yet approved by regulatory authorities and remains investigational.

What clinical trials is Pegylated Irinotecan in?

Pegylated Irinotecan has been studied in two completed Phase 2 trials: NCT01876446 for recurrent small cell lung carcinoma and NCT02312622 for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer, recurrent small cell lung cancer, and other advanced cancers. Both trials were conducted in the United States.

Is Pegylated Irinotecan the same as Etirinotecan Pegol?

Yes, Pegylated Irinotecan is also known as Etirinotecan Pegol. This alternative name appears in clinical trial records, such as NCT02312622, which refers to the drug as Etirinotecan Pegol in its title.
