About this study

Official title: Assessment of Quality of Life (QOL) in Patients Registered With "Phase III Randomized Comparison Study of Vinorelbine, Gemcitabine, and Docetaxel Versus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (JMTO LC00-03)"

RATIONALE: Studying quality-of-life in patients undergoing cancer treatment may help identify the intermediate and long-term effects of treatment on patients with cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying quality of life in patients who are receiving either vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and docetaxel or paclitaxel and carboplatin for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the quality of life of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and docetaxel vs paclitaxel and carboplatin on protocol JMTO-LC00-03.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive treatment on protocol JMTO-LC00-03.

Quality of life is assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L), FACT-Taxane, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spirituality (FACIT-Sp) questionnaires at baseline, weeks 9 and 18, and at the completion of treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by National Hospital Organization Kinki-chuo Chest Medical Center at 21 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?

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2013. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Change in the total score from baseline measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L), FACT-Taxane, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spirituality (FACIT-Sp) questionnaires at 9, 18, and 22 weeks or withdrawal. 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 NCT00242983, 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.
