MesotheliomaPhase 3NCT00190762
A Study Comparing Pemetrexed Plus Best Supportive Care Versus Best Supportive Care Alone in the Treatment of Mesothelioma
A Phase 3 study testing Pemetrexed in people with Mesothelioma, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 1 site in Canada.
Trial summary
Based on results from earlier clinical trials, Pemetrexed may have antitumor activity as a first-line agent in the treatment of mesothelioma. Given this, it is hypothesized that Pemetrexed may be active in second-line mesothelioma in which the standard treatment is best supportive care. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Randomized Phase 3 Trial Comparing ALIMTA Plus Best Supportive Care Versus Best Supportive Care Alone in Previously Treated Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Based on results from earlier clinical trials, Pemetrexed may have antitumor activity as a first-line agent in the treatment of mesothelioma. Given this, it is hypothesized that Pemetrexed may be active in second-line mesothelioma in which the standard treatment is best supportive care. This study will compare survival of previously treated patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma who receive Pemetrexed plus best supportive care to the survival of similar patients who receive best supportive care alone.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival following treatment with Pemetrexed plus best supportive care versus best supportive care alone
Secondary outcomes (3)
To characterize and compare the toxicities of Pemetrexed/best supportive care and best supportive care alone in this patient population;to determine the objective-tumor response rate
to compare time to event efficacy variables of both arms including:duration of response,time to objective tumor response,time to treatment failure,time to documented disease progression,progression-free survival
to compare changes in the average symptom burden index between the Pemetrexed/best supportive care and best supportive care arms

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Based on results from earlier clinical trials, Pemetrexed may have antitumor activity as a first-line agent in the treatment of mesothelioma. Given this, it is hypothesized that Pemetrexed may be active in second-line mesothelioma in which the standard treatment is best supportive care. This study will compare survival of previously treated patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma who receive Pemetrexed plus best supportive care to the survival of similar patients who receive best supportive care alone.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Pemetrexed in people with Mesothelioma, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 1 site in Canada.
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.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2007. 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 Canada. 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?
The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival following treatment with Pemetrexed plus best supportive care versus best supportive care alone. 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 26 Jan 2007.
