About this study

Official title: Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled Study of CBT-1 and Paclitaxel/Carboplatin in Patients With Inoperable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Multiple Drug Resistance is the phenomena whereby cells become resistant to a variety of drugs with different mechanisms of action. Drug resistance remains a significant impediment to successful cancer chemotherapy inhibitors have been developed and are currently in clinical trials. CBT-1 is a natural product currently in clinical trials as an inhibitor

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer has the highest incidence and prevalence among cancers in the world and remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Western countries. One-year survival of patients with best supportive care remains low. Non-small-cell lung cancer accounts for almost 85% of all lung cancer cases. Approximately 70% of patients have locally advanced or metastatic disease at presentation and are not candidates for surgery.

Being tested
CBT-1, Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Measured: every month for first 6 months off study, then every 2-3 months for the next year, then every 6 months thereafter

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Progression

    Measured: each month for the first 6 months off study, then every 2-3 months for the next year, then every 6 months thereafter.

  2. Response Rates

    Measured: every 2-3 months following completion of therapy until disease progression

  3. Progression Free Survival

    Measured: every month for first 6 months off study, then every 2-3 months for next year, then every 6 months thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing CBT-1 in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by CBA Research 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 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: slow accrual rate; interim accrual objective met). Results are not available in the source record.

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 Survival (time frame: every month for first 6 months off study, then every 2-3 months for the next year, then every 6 months thereafter). 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 9 Sep 2011.
