About this study

This study is being conducted in order to determine if intratumoral chemotherapy will be helpful in the palliation of endobronchial tumors when used in conjunction with endobronchial brachytherapy.

Read the detailed description

Injections of cisplatin are given in conjunction with the brachytherapy procedure. If the direct intratumoral injections result in a decrease in the endobronchial obstructed airways and if the therapy is well tolerated, there will be immediate clinical benefit to this minimally invasive method, the most obvious being an improved quality of life. Approximately 2 mg cisplatin per cubic centimeter of tumor are injected into each tumor through a flexible bronchoscope. A total of four to six injections are administered one week apart. Response to therapy is assessed based on improvement in intraluminal obstruction by tumor, as assessed by endobronchial observation.

What is being measured

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

  1. To affect a faster clearing of the obstruction as compared with initial evaluation, based on the percentage of lumen opened.

    Measured: within 4 to 6 injections

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Respiratory symptoms due to occlusion to be assessed both before and after the procedure.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cisplatin in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Southwestern Regional Medical 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 7 inclusion and 4 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 11 Dec 2012. 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 affect a faster clearing of the obstruction as compared with initial evaluation, based on the percentage of lumen opened. (time frame: within 4 to 6 injections). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00379665, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 11 Dec 2012.
