What is being measured

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

  1. Best Overall Response

    Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria as determined by the Case Judgment Committee. Best overall response was defined as the most favorable overall response recorded for each patient during the observation period. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease=small changes that do not meet above criteria.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 3.2 years)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Duration of Response

    The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression.

    Measured: time of response to progressive disease (up to 3.2 years)

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as time from the scheduled date of the first treatment cycle until the date of confirmation of progressive disease on the overall response rating. For patients who died before confirmation of progressive disease, the number of days until the date of death (from any cause) was handled as progression-free survival.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 3.2 years)

  3. Change From Baseline to 3 Months in Quality of Life Questionnaire for Cancer Patients Treated With Anticancer Drugs (QOL-ACD)

    20-items assessed quality of life in patients undergoing chemotherapy. Scores range from 1 (not at all/very poor) to 5 (very much/very well). Face scale scores (patient circles number of the face that best fits his/her feelings) range from 1 (sad face) to 5 (smiling face). Item scores were grouped according to Functional (daily activity: 5 items), Physical (5 items), Emotional (psychological condition: 4 items), Social Attitude (5 items), and Face Scale (1 item). Score of subscales were converted to scores with range from 0 to 100. Higher scores represent higher QOL.

    Measured: Baseline (pre-dose), 3 Months after first dose of Cycle 1

  4. Change From Baseline to 3 Months in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for Lung Cancer (FACT-L) Lung Cancer Subscale (LCS)

    FACT-L LCS measured health-related quality of life (HR-QL) related to additional concerns of lung cancer. Original LCS subscale scores range from 0 to 28, but the scores were converted to scores with a range of 0 to 100 in this study. Higher scores represent better HR-QL.

    Measured: Baseline (pre-dose), 3 Months after first dose of Cycle 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 and Pemetrexed 1000 mg/m2 in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 16 sites in Japan.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 9 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 16 sites in Japan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Nov 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Best Overall Response (time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 3.2 years)). 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 9 Dec 2009.
