A Phase 2 study testing temozolomide in people with Lung Cancer, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 5 sites in 5 countries.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effect of temozolomide in patients with progressive or recurrent stage IV non-small cell lung cancer, with or without brain metastases, who have not been treated… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase II Study of TEMOZOLOMIDE in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With and Without Brain Metastases
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effect of temozolomide in patients with progressive or recurrent stage IV non-small cell lung cancer, with or without brain metastases, who have not been treated for metastatic disease with chemotherapy.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the therapeutic activity of temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with or without brain metastases, untreated by chemotherapy for metastatic disease. II. Characterize the acute side effects of temozolomide in these patients. III. Assess the duration of response in responding patients.
OUTLINE: This is an open label, nonrandomized, multicenter study. Temozolomide is given by oral doses that are equally fractionated over 5 days and repeated every 4 weeks. Patients with brain metastases: Treatment is discontinued if there is progression of disease in both sites (brain and nonbrain) or if there is progression of disease of the brain lesion and stable disease of the other target lesions. Patients with progressive disease of the brain target lesions with contemporary evidence of response in the other target lesion can receive further temozolomide, in addition to nonchemotherapy medical treatment of the brain metastases (steroids, mannitol, etc.). Patients with progressive disease in the other target lesions with contemporary evidence of response of the brain target lesions can receive further temozolomide therapy, in addition to specific local radiotherapy of the nonbrain lesions. Patients without brain metastases: Treatment discontinues if there is clear cut progression occurring before the first disease evaluation (8 weeks after treatment start). For stable disease, the patient is treated for a minimum of 8 weeks and evaluated thereafter. Treatment, in most cases, is for a minimum of 2 cycles and may continue for a maximum of 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient refusal. All patients are followed every 6 weeks for survival.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 24 evaluable patients and a maximum of 70 evaluable patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing temozolomide in people with Lung Cancer, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 5 sites in 5 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in Italy, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00003062, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2012.
