(NJ 1508) Modulation of Autophagy With Hydroxychloroquine in Combination With Carboplatin, Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab in Patients With Advanced/Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - A Phase I/II Study


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To determine the recommended phase II dose of hydroxychloroquine and carboplatin in
combination with paclitaxel and bevacizumab in patients with advanced recurrent
non-small cell lung cancer. (Phase I)

- To assess the antitumor activity, as measured by tumor response rate, of this regimen
in these patients. (Phase II)

Secondary

- To measure time to progression, progression-free survival, and overall survival of
these patients.

- To assess the incidence of toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of
carboplatin and hydroxychloroquine followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours, carboplatin IV over 15-30 minutes, and
bevacizumab IV over 90 minutes on day 1 and oral hydroxychloroquine on days 1-21. Treatment
repeats every 21 days for a total of 4 courses. Patients then receive bevacizumab IV over
30-90 minutes every 21 days and oral hydroxychloroquine daily for up to 1 year in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 6 months.

might interfere with the patient's ability to comply with the protocol or pose
additional or unacceptable risk to the patient
