Trial summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomised Phase II/III Trial of Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Continuous Hyperfractionated Accelerated Radiotherapy (CHART) Versus CHART Alone in Patients With Inoperable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy together with vinorelbine and cisplatin is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with vinorelbine and cisplatin works and compares it to radiation therapy alone in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the overall survival of patients with stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer treated with vinorelbine, cisplatin, and continuous hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy (CHART) vs CHART alone.

Secondary

  • Compare the response, progression-free survival, and quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the toxic effect of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the cost effectiveness of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the local and distant control in patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients undergo continuous hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy (CHART) 3 times a day for 12 consecutive days.
  • Arm II: Patients receive vinorelbine IV over 5-10 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 4-6 weeks later, patients undergo CHART as in arm I.

Quality of life is assessed periodically.

After completion of study treatment, patients are evaluated periodically for at least 5 years.

Peer Reviewed and Funded or Endorsed by Cancer Research UK

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 500 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing cisplatin, vinorelbine tartrate and radiation therapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by Medical Research Council at 20 sites in United Kingdom.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 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 20 sites in United Kingdom. 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 survival. 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 19 Dec 2013.
