About this study

Official title: Open-Label, Cooperative, Randomized, Multicenter Phase III Study on the Use of Cisplatin Resistant Genotype (ERCC1 Over-Expression) in Tumor RNA to Customize Chemotherapy in Stage IV-IIIB (Malignant Pleural Effusion) Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Primary Objective:

  • To compare response rate between genotypic groups and control group.

Secondary Objective:

  • To determine the safety, time to treatment failure and survival in control and genotypic arms.

2Active comparatorNot described
Receives: Drug: Docetaxel/DDP

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response rate (complete plus partial responses) between the genotypic group and the control group using an intent-to-treat analysis.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to treatment failure and survival

    Measured: calculated from the registration date until progression or death, respectively

  2. Clinical and laboratory toxicities graded according to NCIC-CTG Expanded Common Toxicity Criteria.

    Measured: before each cycle

  3. Adverse events not reported in NCIC-CTG Expanded Common Toxicity Criteria will be graded as mild, moderate, severe, and life threatening.

    Measured: Throughout the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Docetaxel/DDP and docetaxel/gemcitabine in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by Sanofi at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 24 inclusion and 18 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 7 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany, Spain, Switzerland. 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?

Overall response rate (complete plus partial responses) between the genotypic group and the control group using an intent-to-treat analysis.. 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 7 Dec 2009.
