Summary

This trial tests a new drug, RRx-001, given with the patient's own blood and followed by standard chemotherapy. It targets patients with certain cancers who did not respond to previous treatments. The drug works by making cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy.

Eligible Conditions
  • Neuroendocrine Tumors
  • Small Cell Carcinoma
  • Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Ovarian Cancer

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~up to one year
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and up to one year for reporting.

Trial Design

6Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Small Cell Lung Cancer (Arm 1)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
RRx-001 weekly for 3 weeks followed by up to 4 cycles of carboplatin or cisplatin plus etoposide and then RRx-001 and carboplatin or cisplatin (for patients with stable disease (SD) or better at discontinuation of platinum).
Group II: Ovarian epithelial cancer (Arm 1)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
RRx-001 weekly for 2 weeks followed by 2 cycles of Carboplatin chemotherapy and then RRx-001/Carboplatin maintenance (for patients with stable disease or better at discontinuation of platinum).
Group III: Non Small Cell Lung CancerExperimental Treatment6 Interventions
RRx-001 weekly for 3 weeks followed by up to 6 cycles of cisplatin or carboplatin plus paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel or pemetrexed and then RRx-001 maintenance (for patients with stable disease or better at discontinuation of platinum).
Group IV: Neuroendocrine tumorsExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
RRx-001 weekly until progression followed by up to 6 cycles of carboplatin or cisplatin plus etoposide and then RRx-001 maintenance (for patients with stable disease or better at discontinuation of platinum).
Group V: Ovarian epithelial cancer (Arm 2)Active Control6 Interventions
Carboplatin, Etoposide, Doxil, Gemcitabine or Vinorelbine or Taxane until progression or intolerable toxicity
Group VI: Small Cell Lung Cancer (Arm 2)Active Control5 Interventions
Carboplatin or cisplatin plus etoposide or irinotecan or vinorelbine until progression or intolerable toxicity
