About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Randomized, Multicenter, Phase II Study To Determine Hemoglobin Dose Response, Safety And Pharmacokinetic Profile Of Ro 50-3821 Given Subcutaneously Once Weekly Or Once Every 3 Weeks To Anemic Patients With Stage IIIB or IV Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Receiving Antineoplastic Therapy

RATIONALE: Ro 50-3821 may stimulate red blood cell production and treat anemia in patients who are receiving antineoplastic therapy for non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying six different regimens of Ro 50-3821 to compare how well they work in treating anemia in patients who are receiving antineoplastic therapy for stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the hemoglobin dose response of anemic patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer receiving antineoplastic therapy treated with 6 different regimens of Ro 50-3821.

Secondary

  • Compare the safety profile of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the pharmacokinetic profile of these regimens in these patients.
  • Determine additional pharmacodynamic characteristics of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, parallel, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 6 treatment arms. In all arms, patients begin study therapy on the first day of a course of antineoplastic therapy.

  • Arm I: Patients receive a lower dose of Ro 50-3821 subcutaneously (SC) once weekly.
  • Arm II: Patients receive a medium dose of Ro 50-3821 SC once weekly.
  • Arm III: Patients receive a higher dose of Ro 50-3821 SC once weekly.
  • Arm IV: Patients receive a lower dose of Ro 50-3821 SC once every 3 weeks.
  • Arm V: Patients receive a medium dose of Ro 50-3821 SC once every 3 weeks.
  • Arm VI: Patients receive a higher dose of Ro 50-3821 SC once every 3 weeks. In all arms, treatment continues for 12 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 1 week.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 210 patients (35 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing methoxy polyethylene glycol epoetin beta in people with Anemia and Lung Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site 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 18 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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 18 Jul 2013.
