About this study

Official title: ALIMTA Plus Gemcitabine as Front-Line Chemotherapy for Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Phase II Clinical Trial

The purposes of this study are to determine:

  1. The safety of pemetrexed plus Gemcitabine and any side effects that might be associated with the combination of these two drugs.
  2. Whether pemetrexed plus Gemcitabine can help patients with non-small cell lung cancer live longer.
  3. Whether pemetrexed plus Gemcitabine can make the tumor smaller or disappear, and for how long.
  4. To see if patients feel better while taking pemetrexed plus Gemcitabine.
Being tested
pemetrexed, gemcitabine
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the tumor response rate for pemetrexed plus gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced or metastatic (Stage IIIB or IV) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. To measure time-to-event efficacy variables including:

  2. time to objective tumor response for responding patients

  3. duration of response for responding patients

  4. time to treatment failure

  5. time to progressive disease

  6. progression-free survival

  7. overall survival

  8. To characterize the quantitative and qualitative toxicities of pemetrexed plus gemcitabine in this patient population.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

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?

To determine the tumor response rate for pemetrexed plus gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced or metastatic (Stage IIIB or IV) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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.
