About this study

Official title: A Randomized Trial of Oral Topotecan Versus Docetaxel in Second-Line Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

In this trial we will evaluate and compare the efficacy and toxicity of oral topotecan with intravenous docetaxel in the second-line treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

Upon determination of eligibility, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms:

  • Topotecan
  • Docetaxel

For ever 2 patients treated, 1 will receive treatment A (Topotecan) and 1 will receive treatment B (Docetaxel). The study is not blinded so both the patient and the doctor will know which treatment has been assigned.

Conditions

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Topotecan and Docetaxel in people with Lung Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC 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 8 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 28 Jun 2010. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall response rate. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00193245, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Jun 2010.
