Brief Summary:
Nicotinamide is an inhibitor of human sirtuins (HDAC III), and is found to re-activate epigenetically silenced tumor suppressors, RUNX3 (runt-related gene 3) and others, in cancer cells. Nicotinamide was found to be effective in several animal cancer models including lung, bladder, liver, etc. The purpose of this study is to determine whether nicotinamide is also effective in the treatment of human lung cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma Drug: Nicotinamide Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
The standard therapy to the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutation positive non-small-cell lung cancer patients who are not eligible to operation is to administer EGFR-TKIs (tyrosine kinase inhibitors, gefitinib or erlotinib). To determine the effectiveness of nicotinamide on lung cancer, nicotinamide or placebo tablet will be co-administered with gefitinib or erlotinib for two years until the event or censoring occurs. The stratified block randomization was designed with 3 covariates (EGFR mutation status, kind of EGFR-TKI, ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status score variation). The size of lesions will be checked every other months by radiology. PD (progressive disease) will be assessed according to RECIST(Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors)1.1. After observing 36 events, an interim analysis of hazard ratio by Cox proportional hazard regression will be performed. The final analysis will be done by the same protocol after observation of 72 events. The significance level of the interim and final analysis were set to 0.0075 and 0.0209 respectively. Response rate, quality of life (measured by 10 questions at every visit), and overall survival will be analysed together. All other adverse reactions will be analysed and reported, if there.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Nicotinamide

Nicotinamide with EGFR-TKI:

  1. gefitinib (250mg tab) or erlotinib (150mg tab) - per oral, once a day
  2. nicotinamide (500mg tab) - per oral, twice a day, until the event or censoring occurs
 Drug: Nicotinamide
Nicotinamide (1g/day) or placebo treatment is added to the standard drug treatment (gefitinib or erlotinib) to EGFR mutated NSCLC patients
Other Name: Amina-X
Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Placebo tablet with EGFR-TKI:

  1. gefitinib (250mg tab) or erlotinib (150mg tab) - per oral, once a day
  2. placebo tablet - per oral, twice a day, until the event or censoring occurs
 Drug: Nicotinamide
Nicotinamide (1g/day) or placebo treatment is added to the standard drug treatment (gefitinib or erlotinib) to EGFR mutated NSCLC patients
Other Name: Amina-X


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Hazard ratio (PFS) of the nicotinamide arm to the placebo arm [ Time Frame: two year ]
    Cox regression analysis


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Response rate [ Time Frame: two year ]
    chi-square test of complete response and partial response (RECIST 1.1)

  2. Difference in quality of life between the nicotinamide arm and the placebo arm [ Time Frame: two year ]
    measured by the cancer-related QOL questionaire response (questioned at each visit)

  3. Overall survival [ Time Frame: two year ]
    Cox regression analysis
