Trial Title:
Oral Green Tea Extract for Small Cell Lung Cancer

NCT01317953
Condition:
Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Conditions: Official terms:
Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Epigallocatechin gallate
Study type:
Expanded Access
Overall status:
Available
Intervention:
Intervention type:
Dietary Supplement
Intervention name:
epigallocatechin gallate
Description:
Starting dose green tea catechin extract "EGCG" 400 mg twice a day (BID) of EGCG (400 mg
caps BID), second escalated dose 800 mg BID of EGCG (2x400 mg caps BID), third escalated
dose 1200 mg BID of EGCG (3x400 mg),fourth escalated dose 1600 mg BID of EGCG (4x400
mg),and fifth escalated dose 2000 mg BID of EGCG (5x400 mg),
Other name:
EGCG
Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether green tea extract is safe for
extensive-stage small lung cancer who achieved objective tumor response after first-line
therapy.
Detailed description:
Small-cell lung cancer accounts for 13 to 15% of all lung cancer and more than 60 to 70%
of patients present with extensive disease (ED). Although etoposide plus cisplatin (EP)
regimen has been the mainstay of ED-SCLC treatment, median overall survival is about 9
months, with 5 to 10% surviving two years and only 1% of patients achieving a long-term
disease-free survival. To improve this outcome further, various attempts have been made,
which included dose intensification with stem cell supports, maintenance therapy, and
also searches for a better chemotherapy regimen.
Significant anticarcinogenic effects of green tea extract on various organs, such as
skin, stomach, duodenum, colon, liver, pancreas, and lung in rodent models have been
confirmed. Recent scientific investigations have identified the active chemical compounds
in green tea designated tea polyphenols or catechins. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)
is the major catechin in tea.An investigation about the effects of EGCG on human SCLC
cells revealed that EGCG had similar anti-tumor effects on drug-sensitive (H69) and
drug-resistant (H69VP) SCLC cells. Thus, the investigators conduct this phase I trial,
the objectives of this trial were to study the side effects and best dose of of EGCG in
treating patients with small-cell lung cancer who achieved objective tumor response after
first-line therapy.
