Trial summary

The University of Rochester Cancer Center (URCC) is conducting a research study at Highland Hospital and Strong Memorial of lung cancer patients whose tumors cannot be surgically removed. The usual treatment for this stage of cancer is chemotherapy (treatment with drugs) combined with radiation (chemo-radiation). Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Clinical or pathologic stage IIIA (T1-3N2M0, T3N1M0) and IIIB (Any T N3M0, T4 Any N M0) diseases according to the American Joint Committee of Cancer criteria (Appendix I). Patients with malignant pleural effusion will be excluded.
  • The primary tumor must be radiographically measurable with bi-dimensionally measurable disease
  • Age > 18.
  • Karnofsky performance status > 70 (Appendix II).
  • FEV1 sufficient for patients to tolerate radiation therapy, which is at the discretion of the radiation oncologist, usually > 800 ml, but may be higher or lower depending on the volume of radiotherapy portal, which is a variable of the tumor extent.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • WBC > 3000; platelet count > 100,000; absolute neutrophil counts > 1,000; hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dl; serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dl or creatinine clearance >60 ml/min. Laboratory values must be obtained < 3 weeks prior to registration.
  • Patients with equivocal enlargement of adrenal gland(s) on CT scan, or a few equivocal regional or distant lesions on any imaging studies need further imaging study or biopsy to rule out distant metastasis.
  • Transaminases (SGOT and/or SGPT) may be up to 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) if alkaline phosphatase is < ULN, or alkaline phosphatase may be up to 4 x ULN if transaminases are < ULN. However, patients who have both transaminase elevation > 1.5 x ULN and alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 x ULN are not eligible for this study (due to decreased clearance of docetaxel and increased risk of toxicity).
  • Pre-existing neuropathy must be grade I or less.
  • A signed informed consent.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.
  • Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using effective contraception while on treatment and for a reasonable period thereafter.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with distant metastasis (stage IV disease).
  • Patients without measurable disease.
  • Patients with medical contraindication to chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
  • Patients with myocardial infarction within the preceding six months or symptomatic heart disease, including angina, congestive heart failure, uncontrolled arrhythmia.
  • Patients with bilirubin elevated above institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) must be excluded.
  • Women who are pregnant or breast feeding are not eligible.
  • Patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to Taxotere® or other drugs formulated with polysorbate 80 must be excluded.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of One-Cycle Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Pulsed Docetaxel and Concurrent Radiation for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The University of Rochester Cancer Center (URCC) is conducting a research study at Highland Hospital and Strong Memorial of lung cancer patients whose tumors cannot be surgically removed. The usual treatment for this stage of cancer is chemotherapy (treatment with drugs) combined with radiation (chemo-radiation). Because of the risk of spread to other organs, patients with your stage of disease are also often treated with additional chemotherapy, either before or after the chemo-radiation treatment. The best timing and number of treatments for this additional chemotherapy has not been clearly established. The purpose of this study is to help determine if a single treatment with two chemotherapy drugs, followed by radiation and low-dose chemotherapy is an effective way to treat patients with lung cancer. The side effects of this treatment and your quality of life while on the study will also be studied. Eighteen will participate in this study locally.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel, cisplatin and radiation treatment in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by University of Rochester 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?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. 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 19 May 2009. 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 19 May 2009.
