About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of the Combination of Bevacizumab Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin as First-line Therapy in Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

The primary objective is to assess antitumor activity of the combination of bevacizumab, pemetrexed and carboplatin, in terms of time to progression.

Read the detailed description

Secondary endpoints are to evaluate:

  • the objective response rate (RR) of the combination;
  • the toxicity and the safety profile of the combination;
  • the duration of response (RD) and time to treatment failure (TTF);
  • the overall survival (OS)
  • RR, TTP and OS according to baseline plasma VEGF levels (introduced with Amendment 1 dated 8/11/2007)
Conditions
Mesothelioma
Being tested
Bevacizumab, Pemetrexed, Carboplatin

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Bevacizumab, Pemetrexed, CarboplatinDrug

    Also called Avastin, Alimta, Carboplatin

    • Bevacizumab: 15 mg/kg intravenous infusion over 30 to 90 minutes, following chemotherapy, on Day 1 every 3 weeks
    • Pemetrexed: 500 mg/m2 intravenous infusion over 10 minutes on Day 1 every 3 weeks
    • Carboplatin: AUC 5 intravenous infusion over 1 hour on Day 1 every 3 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to progression (TTP) from first day of treatment until first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause or the last date the patient was known to be progression free or alive.

    Measured: At the end of study

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Response rate (RR) assessed according to modified RECIST criteria for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma.

    Measured: Two months after the end of enrollment

  2. Overall survival (OS) computed as the time between the first day of treatment and the date of death or the last date the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: At the end of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Pemetrexed, Carboplatin in people with Mesothelioma, run by Armando Santoro, MD at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 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 2 Sep 2011. 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 Italy. 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?

Time to progression (TTP) from first day of treatment until first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause or the last date the patient was known to be progression free or alive. (time frame: At the end of study). 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 NCT00407459, which also lists 3 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 2 Sep 2011.
