About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open, Randomised Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of AZD6244 Versus Pemetrexed (Alimta®) in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Who Have Failed One or Two Prior Chemotherapy Regimen

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect and safety of AZD6244(ARRY-142886)versus pemetrexed in the second or third line treatment of advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Following baseline assessments, a minimum of 64 patients in approximately 5-6 centers from the US will be treated with either AZD6244 or pemetrexed. Treatment will be continued for as long as patients receive clinical benefit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD6244 and Pemetrexed in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 8 sites in 3 countries.

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 2 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 13 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Bulgaria, Romania. 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?

Assess tumor growth (time frame: assessed every 12 weeks). 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 Aug 2014.
