About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Trial of Two Sequential Schedules of Docetaxel and Cisplatin Followed by Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced Non-small-cell Lung Cancer.

This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized phase II trial whose aim is to assess the antitumor activity of two sequential schedules of docetaxel and cisplatin followed by gemcitabine.

Being tested
Docetaxel and cisplatin followed by gemcitabine
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What participants receive

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

  • Docetaxel and cisplatin followed by gemcitabineDrug

    docetaxel 75 mg/m2 day 1 + cisplatin 75 mg/m2 day1 repeated every 21 days for 3 cycles followed by gemcitabine 1200 mg/m2 day 1,8 repeated every 21 days for 3 cycles

  • docetaxel and cisplatin followed by gemcitabineDrug

    docetaxel 25 mg/m2 day 1,8,15 + cisplatin 25 mg/m2 days1,8,15 repeated every 28 days for 3 cycles followed by gemcitabine 1200 mg/m2 day 1,8 repeated every 21 days for 3 cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. overall response rate assessed by RECIST criteria.

    Measured: before, during and at the end of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to progression

    Measured: from the date of randomization to the date of first documented tumor progression or relapse

  2. time to treatment failure

    Measured: from the date of treatment start to the date of diagnosis of progression, withdrawal from study treatment for any reason, administraztion of other antitumor treatment, or death for any cause

  3. overall survival

    Measured: time interval from the date of randomisation to the date of death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and cisplatin followed by gemcitabine in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Sanofi 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 10 inclusion and 18 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 7 Dec 2009. 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?

overall response rate assessed by RECIST criteria. (time frame: before, during and at the end of treatment). 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 7 Dec 2009.
