Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Response Rate (RR)
Every 8 weeks

Response rate (complete response \[CR\]+ partial response \[PR\]) was evaluated using the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1). * Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. * Partial response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. * Progressive disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. * Stable disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)
After completing at least 1 cycle (8 weeks) of treatment

Sum of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) in patients eligible for efficacy analysis.

Frequently asked questions about Arsenic Trioxide

What is Arsenic Trioxide used for in lung cancer?

Arsenic Trioxide has been studied as a treatment for small cell lung cancer, a form of lung cancer. It was evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial in adults with this condition. The drug is a small molecule being developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited for oncology indications.

Who makes Arsenic Trioxide?

Arsenic Trioxide is developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, which trades under the ticker TEVA. The company sponsored the clinical research evaluating the drug in lung cancer.

What phase is Arsenic Trioxide in for lung cancer?

Arsenic Trioxide is in Phase 2 development for lung cancer. The single Phase 2 trial in this indication has been completed. The drug is investigational for lung cancer and is not approved for this use based on the available development information.

What clinical trials is Arsenic Trioxide in for lung cancer?

Arsenic Trioxide was studied in the Phase 2 trial NCT01470248, titled Study of Arsenic Trioxide in Small Cell Lung Cancer. The trial enrolled 20 participants in the United States, was uncontrolled, and has been completed. It enrolled adults aged 18 years and older of all sexes.

How many patients were enrolled in the Arsenic Trioxide lung cancer trial?

The Phase 2 trial of Arsenic Trioxide in small cell lung cancer, NCT01470248, enrolled 20 participants. The study was uncontrolled, meaning it did not use a comparator arm, and it has been completed.
