About this study

Official title: Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of Jin Fu Kang In Combination With Docetaxel for Patients With Previously Treated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Researchers from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center are conducting a research study on a Chinese herbal medicine known as "Jin Fu Kang". We want to see if this can help patients with advanced lung cancer. Jin Fu Kang might reduce the growth of cancer or improve quality of life. You are eligible for this trial because your cancer has progressed after prior chemotherapy and your doctor has recommended further chemotherapy treatment.

Lung cancer that has been confirmed and that has spread is called advanced cancer. There is no known permanent cure for advanced lung cancer, but chemotherapy may temporarily shrink the cancer and improve the quality of patients' lives.

Read the detailed description

Jin Fu Kang is a herbal medicine specially developed in China for the treatment of lung cancer. It is based on a traditional medicine that is widely used and appears to be safe. Although clinical trials in China suggest that Jin Fu Kang may be of benefit, it has never been researched in patients with lung cancer in the United States. As such, its risks and benefits are not fully understood.

The scientific aims are to determine the toxicity of Jin Fu Kang/docetaxel combination treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, to determine whether Jin Fu Kang alters the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel and to provide preliminary efficacy and survival data for Jin Fu Kang/docetaxel combination treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and Jin Fu Kang in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 26 Jan 2007. 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 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?

To determine the toxicity of Jin Fu Kang / docetaxel combination treatment in patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer.. 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 26 Jan 2007.
