About this study

Official title: First Line Treatment of Stage IIIb/IV Non Small Cell (NSC) Lung Cancer With a Bimonthly Administration of a Combination of Cisplatin-Gemcitabine

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining cisplatin with gemcitabine in treating patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of the combination of cisplatin and gemcitabine in terms of response rate and progression free survival in patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. II. Evaluate this treatment regimen in terms of toxicity and quality of life in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes and cisplatin IV over 1 hour every 2 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with no disease progression following 6 courses of therapy receive an additional 6 courses of therapy. Quality of life is assessed prior to each course and then every 3 months. Patients are followed every 3 months until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 37-83 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride in people with Lung Cancer, run by GERCOR - Multidisciplinary Oncology Cooperative Group at 21 sites in France.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 24 Jul 2008.
