About this study

Official title: Oral Vinorelbine For The Treatment Of Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer In Patients More Than Or Equal To 65 Years Of Age: A Phase II Trial of Efficacy and Patients Perceived Preference for Oral Therapy

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of vinorelbine taken by mouth in treating older patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the objective response rate in elderly patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer treated with oral vinorelbine. II. Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this drug. III. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. IV. Determine whether there is a perceived preference for this oral administration in these patients. V. Determine the quality of life of these patients when treated with this drug. VI. Assess individual variation in responses, pharmacokinetic parameters, and/or biological correlates in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral vinorelbine on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4-6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life is assessed at baseline and after 8 weeks of therapy. Patients are followed every 3 months for 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing vinorelbine tartrate in people with Lung Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 13 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 13 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 13 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?

objective response rate (time frame: Up to 5 years). 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 NCT00008333, 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 13 Jul 2016.
