What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment Response

    Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment.

    Measured: every 21 day cycle (3 cycles) and 3-4 weeks after last cycle

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pathologic Remissions After Surgery

    The status of the pathological response was evaluated on the basis of the original results of the histopathological examination of the tumour samples resected. A complete pathological response was defined as the absence of any viable tumour cell in the tumour samples obtained for histological examination.

    Measured: surgical tumor resection (3-4 weeks after completing three 21-day cycles of therapy)

  2. Relapse-free Survival

    Results for this outcome measure were not analyzed because the trial stopped early due to low enrollment.

    Measured: Every 21 day cycle (3 cycles) and then every 3 months for the first 2 years, every 6 months until 5 years have elapsed and annually thereafter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pemetrexed and cisplatin in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 6 sites 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 5 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 2 Jun 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jun 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Treatment Response (time frame: every 21 day cycle (3 cycles) and 3-4 weeks after last cycle). 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 2 Jun 2009.
