Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs such as efaproxiral may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase III Randomized, Open-Label Comparative Study of Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Thoracic Radiation Therapy With Supplemental Oxygen, With or Without Concurrent RSR13 (Efaproxiral), in Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable (Stage IIIA/IIIB) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs such as efaproxiral may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. It is not yet known if chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy is more effective with or without efaproxiral in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy with or without efaproxiral in treating patients who have stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the overall survival of patients with stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer treated with induction chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy with or without efaproxiral.
  • Compare time to progression, response rate, and pattern of failure of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Determine the safety of efaproxiral in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of efaproxiral in these patients.
  • Compare quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to chemotherapy regimen, Karnofsky performance status (70-80% vs 90-100%), and disease stage (IIIA vs IIIB).

  • Induction therapy phase: Patients receive 1 of the following induction chemotherapy regimens:
  • Paclitaxel and carboplatin: Patients receive paclitaxel IV and carboplatin IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for a total of 2 courses.
  • Cisplatin and gemcitabine: Patients receive cisplatin IV on day 2 and gemcitabine IV on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a total of 2 courses.
  • Cisplatin and vinorelbine: Patients receive cisplatin IV on day 1 and vinorelbine IV on days 1, 8, and either 15 or 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a total of 2 courses.
  • Randomized phase: Within 42 days after completion of chemotherapy, patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
  • Arm I: Patients receive efaproxiral IV over 30-45 minutes with supplemental oxygen and then undergo concurrent radiotherapy 5 days a week for 7 weeks.
  • Arm II: Patients receive supplemental oxygen and undergo radiotherapy as in arm I.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, on days 1 and 16 of radiotherapy, monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

Patients are followed monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 659 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing carboplatin, cisplatin and efaproxiral in people with Lung Cancer, run by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc at 22 sites in 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in Canada, United States, Israel, Belgium. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 May 2013.
