About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Early Change of a Chemotherapeutic Doublet Versus Four Cycles of Chemotherapy in Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer.

The optimal strategy in advanced non small cell lung cancer with stable disease is not well known. There is no published study assessing an early change of chemotherapeutic drugs in these patients.Accordingly, we conduct this trial with the objective to improve the rate of objective responses by the switch to another doublet after 2 cycles of CDDP-gemcitabine association for patients with stable diseases (SD).

Read the detailed description

Patients with stage IV NSCLC and measurable disease are included in a randomized phase II trial comparing for patients with stable disease after 2 cycles of a platin (P)-gemcitabine doublet (P d1: 75 mg/m2, gemcitabine 1 250 mg/m2 d1, d8 every three weeks) two subsequent cycles of this doublet (arm A) to a switch to another doublet (arm B) : paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 d1, d8, d15, gemcitabine 1 250 mg/m2 d1, d8, every four weeks.Platin, gemcitabine and paclitaxel are administered according nadir and pre-cycle haematologic evaluations (with dose decrease if needed). Response criteria are assessed with RECIST classification by the investigator panel.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, Gemcitabine and Taxol in people with Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 21 sites in France.

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 9 inclusion and 12 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 16 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in France. 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?

1-Complete response. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00199758, 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 16 Jul 2025.
