About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Cisplatin Plus Docetaxel as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Stages IB Through Selected IIIA NSCLC

The primary objective of this study is to assess the response rate of treatment with two cycles of cisplatin and docetaxel chemotherapy prior to surgery (neoadjuvant) for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Secondary objectives of this study include assessment of radiographic response rate by computed tomography (CT) scanning, overall survival, time to progression, rate of complete surgical removal, and adverse reactions. In addition, this study will test whether positron emission tomography (PET) imaging can predict a tumor response. Patients who have a response to chemotherapy may receive 2 additional cycles after recovering from surgery.

Read the detailed description

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80% of new lung cancer diagnoses in the US. Surgery is the primary most successful treatment for early stage patients. However, even lung cancers caught at an early stage (stage IB through selected IIIA) have 5 year survivals after surgery at a rate of only 10-60%. Postoperative platinum based chemotherapy offers a 4-15% survival benefit, depending on stage in fit patients after complete surgical removal of early stage disease. Preoperative platinum based chemotherapy has been shown in small randomized trials to benefit patients with stage IIIA, N2 positive disease, but is not standard of care in earlier stage disease, such as the population in this study.

The combination of cisplatin and docetaxel is approved in the US for front line therapy of stage IV NSCLC based on randomized clinical data showing efficacy and manageable toxicity. Given the efficacy and tolerance of this combination in the metastatic setting, this regimen is an obvious choice for study in the neoadjuvant setting.

PET imaging is approved in the US for determining size, site and spread of lung cancer (staging) and has been shown to reduce unnecessary surgery when used as part of preoperative evaluation. Because NSCLC is not 100% responsive to chemotherapy and CT scans may not show a change in tumor size until after several cycles of chemotherapy, PET imaging might be an effective way to provide an earlier and more reliable estimate of response.

Preoperative chemotherapy will be given for a total of two cycles 21 days apart if any adverse events have resolved and there is no evidence of disease progression. Patients will undergo CT chest through liver and PET scans for restaging following the second cycle and will then be scheduled for surgery 3-6 weeks after the second cycle of chemotherapy. Patients who have responded according to CT and/or PET imaging, or surgical pathology will go on to receive an additional two cycles of chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin once the patient has recovered from surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Neoadjuvant Therapy with Cisplatin Plus Docetaxel in people with Non-small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Providence Health & Services 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 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2011. 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 was stopped early (reason given: study terminated due to slow accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Primary objective: To assess the pathologic complete and partial response rate to neoadjuvant treatment with two cycles of cisplatin and docetaxel chemotherapy prior to resection of early stage NSCLC. 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 18 May 2011.
