What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Docetaxel + carboplatin + radiotherapy + docetaxel + gemcitabineDrug

    Docetaxel 20 mg/m²/week with carboplatin AUC 2/week and concomitant radiotherapy up to 60 Gy. Further on, 2 Docetaxel cycles and gemcitabine according to arm 2.

  • Docetaxel + gemcitabine + carboplatin + radiotherapyOther

    Docetaxel 40 mg/ m² days 1, 8, 21 and 28 with gemcitabine 1200 mg/ m² days 1, 8, 21 and 28 followed by concomitant treatment with docetaxel 20 mg/m²/week with carboplatin AUC 2/week and concomitant radiotherapy up to 60 Gy (2 Gy/day, 5 days per week and for 6 weeks).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Response rate in each arm measured according to RECIST criteria

    Measured: Throughout the whole study

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of local-regional control within a year

    Measured: Throughout the first year

  2. Time to progression defined as the period of time elapsed between the randomization date and the progression or death date

    Measured: Throughout the whole study

  3. Toxicity measured by CALGB criteria and RTOG/EORTC criteria

    Measured: Throughout the whole study

  4. Global surveillance measured as the period of time elapsed between randomization and death date.

    Measured: Throughout the whole study duration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel + carboplatin + radiotherapy + docetaxel + gemcitabine and Docetaxel + gemcitabine + carboplatin + radiotherapy in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Spain.

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 10 inclusion and 2 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 7 Dec 2009. 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 Spain. 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?

Response rate in each arm measured according to RECIST criteria (time frame: Throughout the whole study). 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 7 Dec 2009.
