About this study

Official title: Open-Label Single-Arm Phase 2 Study of ALIMTA in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Had Prior Chemotherapy

In previous phase 2 studies, pemetrexed has shown antitumor activity in advanced non-small cell lung cancer as a single agent as well as in combination with cisplatin. Since the introduction of vitamin supplementation, pemetrexed has shown good tolerance and high safety. Vitamin supplementation has opened the opportunity to offer patients higher pemetrexed dosing, as has been demonstrated by a recent Phase 1 study. The higher dose with supplementation may increase pemetrexed's efficacy without unduly compromising safety. The present Phase 2 study will use pemetrexed dosing that is tailored to individual patient tolerance, and is an effort to determine the efficacy and safety of this approach in patients with advanced NSCLC who had prior chemotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pemetrexed in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small Cell Lung, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 20 sites in 8 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 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 20 sites in India, Australia, Romania, Egypt, South Korea and 3 more countries. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rate according to RECIST criteria. 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; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 3 Nov 2026.
