What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Complete or Partial Tumor Response (Overall Tumor Response)

    Tumor response is defined as the percentage of patients with either a complete response or a partial response. Response was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions and Partial Response=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: baseline to measured objective tumor response (up to six 21-day cycles)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Treatment Failure

    Defined as the time from study enrollment to the first observation of disease progression, death as a result of any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment. Time to treatment failure was censored at the date of the last follow-up visit for patients who did not discontinue early, who were still alive, and who have not progressed.

    Measured: baseline to stopping treatment (up to six 21-day cycles)

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death. For patients who are alive, overall survival is censored at the last contact.

    Measured: baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 14.5 months)

  3. Estimated Probability of One Year Progression-free Survival

    Progression free survival (PFS) is the duration from enrollment until first disease progression or death. For patients not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who do not have progressive disease, PFS is censored at the last radiological assessment date.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease or death, 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pemetrexed and carboplatin in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 7 sites in France.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in France. 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 9 Dec 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?

Percentage of Participants With a Complete or Partial Tumor Response (Overall Tumor Response) (time frame: baseline to measured objective tumor response (up to six 21-day cycles)). 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 13 Oct 2010.
