  • Previous radiation therapy: prior irradiation for NSCLC is permitted, however, the measurable or evaluable non-measurable disease must be completely outside the radiation portal.
  • Laboratory requirements:

Patients with AST and/or ALT > 1.5 x UNL associated with alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 x UNL are not eligible for the study.
  • Renal function: Creatinine < 140 µmol/l (1.6 mg/dl) ; if limit values, the calculated creatinine clearance should be > 60 ml/min.

  • Known clinical brain or leptomeningeal involvement.
  • Pre-existing motor or sensory neurotoxicity of a severity > grade 1 by National Cancer Institute criteria.
  • Other serious illness or medical condition:
  • Congestive heart failure or unstable angina pectoris even if it is medically controlled. Previous history of myocardial infarction within 1 year from study entry, uncontrolled hypertension or high risk uncontrolled arrhythmias.
  • History of significant neurologic or psychiatric disorders including psychotic disorders, dementia or seizures that would prohibit the understanding and giving of informed consent.

  • Active uncontrolled infection.
  • Peptic ulcer, unstable diabetes mellitus or other contraindication for the use of corticosteroids.
  • Past or current history of neoplasm other than non-small cell lung cancer, except for curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ carcinoma of the cervix.
  • Concurrent treatment with prednisone (or equivalent) except as use for the prophylactic medication regimen, treatment of acute hypersensitivity reactions, treatment of nausea / vomiting or unless chronic treatment (initiated > 6 months prior to study entry) at low dose (< 20 mg methylprednisolone or equivalent).
  • Definite contraindications for the use of corticosteroids.
  • Concurrent treatment with other experimental drugs. Participation in another clinical trial with any investigational drug within 30 days prior to study entry.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Pilot Study of Combination of Irinotecan and Cisplatin in Docetaxel/Cisplatin-Responsive Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Primary Objective:

  • To compare the tumour response rate of combination chemotherapy irinotecan/cisplatin (IC) versus docetaxel/cisplatin (DC) in advanced NSCLC patients who responded to 3 courses of docetaxel/cisplatin.

Secondary Objectives :

  • To compare the time to progression after chemotherapy treatment between the IC and DC arms of treatment.
  • To compare the toxicity profile of the IC and DC arms of treatment.
Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 14 inclusion and 14 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 20 Mar 2008. 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 Hong Kong. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Tumour response rate. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Mar 2008.
