Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine plus CI-994 is more effective than gemcitabine alone for non-small cell lung cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study of CI-994 Capsules Plus Gemcitabine Infusion Versus Placebo Capsules Plus Gemcitabine Infusion as Second-Line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine plus CI-994 is more effective than gemcitabine alone for non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of gemcitabine with or without CI-994 in treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine with or without CI-994 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to performance status and are randomized to one of two treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive CI-994 orally on days 1-21 and gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Arm II: Patients receive placebo capsules orally on days 1-21 and gemcitabine as in arm I. Treatment repeats every 28 days as long as medically appropriate (absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity).

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 176 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing gemcitabine hydrochloride and tacedinaline in people with Lung Cancer, run by Pfizer at 16 sites in 2 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 10 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States, Canada. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?
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 10 Aug 2012.
