About this study
Official title: Phase II Trial of Weekly Dose-Dense Paclitaxel in Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
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 effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating patients who have extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the complete and overall response rate to paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated extensive stage small cell lung cancer. II. Determine the overall and progression free survival of these patients in response to this treatment regimen. III. Determine the toxicity of this treatment regimen in this patient population.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours weekly for 6 consecutive weeks. Treatment continues every 8 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 2 months for 1 year, then every 3 months for 2 years, and then annually for 2 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing paclitaxel in people with Lung Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 5 sites in United States.
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 14 Jul 2016. 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 United States. 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.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Response Rate (time frame: 1 year post treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005646, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 14 Jul 2016.
