NCT03870529

Brief Summary

This trial studies how well high dose vitamin A compound works in treating participants with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by surgery. Vitamin A compound may increase the number of germinal centers (immune centers that make antibodies mature) in tumor and lymph tissues which may be beneficial to patients with cancer.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Presence or Absence of Germinal Centers in Resected Tissue

    Presence/absence of germinal centers (GCs) in resected cancer tissues from patients who receive neoadjuvant vitamin A and controls.

    Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Proportion of Germinal Centers in Lymph Nodes

    Up to 2 years

  • Presence or Absence of Tumor Necrosis

    Up to 2 years

  • Overall Survival

    Up to 2 years

Study Arms (2)

Vitamin A compound

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive vitamin A compound PO for 7 consecutive days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 21 days of completing treatment, participants then undergo surgical resection.

Drug: Vitamin A Compound

Therapeutic Conventional Surgery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Description Participants undergo surgical resection.

Procedure: Therapeutic Conventional Surgery

Interventions

Participants randomized to this arm will receive 7 consecutive days of of Vitamin A compound without disease progression or unacceptable toxicities. Within 21 days of completion of treatment participants will undergo surgical resection

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient must be 18 years of age or older.
  • Patients must have either biopsy proven or radiographically suspected non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Patients must have disease in the chest that is felt to be surgically resectable.
  • ECOG performance status of 0-2.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign an IRB-approved informed consent document

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients younger than 18 years of age
  • Women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents for the treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer.
  • Patients may not be taking the following medications: high dose vitamin A supplement (multivitamin supplements prohibited only if vitamin A content is greater than 3,500 international units), bexarotene, alitretinoin, tretinoin, adapalene, isotretinoin, acitretin, doxycycline, minocycline, or demeclocycline,
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, pancreatitis, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Hypervitaminosis A - toxic effects of ingesting too much vitamin A.
