A Phase 3 study testing carboplatin, docetaxel and gemcitabine hydrochloride in people with Lung Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, carboplatin, and docetaxel, 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. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase III Study of Delayed vs. Immediate Second-Line Therapy With Docetaxel After Gemcitabine + Carboplatin in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, carboplatin, and docetaxel, 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. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective for stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of gemcitabine and carboplatin followed immediately by docetaxel with that of giving delayed docetaxel in treating patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare the overall survival of patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer treated with gemcitabine and carboplatin followed by immediate vs delayed docetaxel.
Secondary
- Compare the response rate and time to progression in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients.
- Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are stratified according to ECOG performance status (0 or 1 vs 2).
All patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1 and 8 and carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients with stable or responding disease proceed to docetaxel therapy. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I (immediate docetaxel): Patients receive immediate docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1.
- Arm II (delayed docetaxel): Patients are observed until first evidence of disease progression and then receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1.
In both arms, treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Quality of life (QOL) is assessed at baseline, at restaging (after completion of gemcitabine and carboplatin), before courses 2-6 of docetaxel*, and then at 1 and 3 months after study treatment.
NOTE: *For patients randomized to delayed docetaxel, QOL is assessed every 3 weeks until first disease progression and then before courses 2-6 of docetaxel
Patients are followed monthly for 3 months, every 2 months for 6 months, and then every 3 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 550 patients (275 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing carboplatin, docetaxel and gemcitabine hydrochloride in people with Lung Cancer, run by Case 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 16 Aug 2010. 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 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 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?
Survival (time frame: Patients are followed monthly for 3 months, every 2 months for 6 months, and then every 3 months thereafter). 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.
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 16 Aug 2010.
