About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized Phase II Study Evaluating the Feasibility and Activity of Two Different Combinations of Docetaxel and Gemcitabine and of Cisplatin/Gemcitabine Followed by Docetaxel as First Line Therapy for Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

To assess the antitumour activity (response rate) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of two different combinations of docetaxel and gemcitabine and of a sequential treatment of cisplatin /gemcitabine followed by docetaxel as first line chemotherapy · To evaluate the quantitative and qualitative toxicity of each treatment arms.· To determine time to progression, duration of response, time to treatment failure, and overall survival in each group.· To evaluate changes from baseline in the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale of patients in each treatment arm.

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

  • Docetaxel and GemcitabineDrug

    Docetaxel: 50 mg/m², administered IV over 60 minutes (infusion drop by drop during the first five minutes) on day 1 and 15 immediately followed by Gemcitabine: 1600 mg/m2, administered IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and 15.

  • Gemcitabine cisplatin followed by docetaxelDrug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and Gemcitabine and Gemcitabine cisplatin followed by docetaxel in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, 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 9 inclusion and 19 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?

Response Rate (time frame: Performed after 3 cycles and at the end of treatment (6 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 7 Dec 2009.
