To define Phase 1/2 Maximum Tolerated Dose Study of Belinostat (PXD-101) in Combination with Paclitaxel plus Carboplatin in Chemotherapy-Naive Patients with Stage IV Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open label single arm study. Patients meeting all inclusion and exclusion criteria will receive up to 6 cycles of combination therapy of belinostat plus carboplatin (AUC 6) and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2.

During phase I the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of belinostat in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel will be determined in patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who have received no prior systemic chemotherapy. The dose escalation study will be conducted using traditional escalation rule of 3+3 design, during the first cycle of therapy. Belinostat will be assessed at a starting dose level of 1000 mg/m2 and multiple dose levels may be evaluated. Doses of belinostat, carboplatin and paclitaxel will remain constant throughout the study, unless dose modification is required by toxicity. Treatment is given on days 1-5 of every 21-day cycle. Routine safety evaluations will be conducted on days, 1, 8, and 15 of every cycle. Tumor measurement will be done after every 2 cycles of the treatment.

Additional 20 patients will be treated at the MTD defined dose during phase II expansion portion of the study.

All patients will receive up to 6 cycles of combination therapy and be followed until occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal of consent or death.

Drug Belinostat, Carboplatin, Paclitaxel

Up to 6 cycles of combination therapy of belinostat plus carboplatin (AUC 6) and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2. Initial dose of belinostat will be 1000mg/m2 for MTD dose escalation evaluation.

  • Other names: PXD-101

Single arm, open label Experimental

At the study entry each patient will receive a dose level assignment which will include a specific dose level and the dose of IV belinostat in mg/m2 to be administered during the study treatment. Belinostat will be infused over 30 minutes once daily on Days 1-5 of each 21-day cycle. On Day 3, the infusion of belinostat must be completed at least 1 hour prior to the start of the paclitaxel infusion. Dose of belinostat will be assigned at study entry. The same dose and level will remain throughout the entire study for each patient and no dose adjustment will be allowed, except due to toxicity.
