Trial summary

It is suggested that a bimodal or trimodal approach combining neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy followed by surgery provides a potentially superior method of enhancing resectability and improving locoregional control and survival compared to radiotherapy alone followed by surgery.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study Preoperative Chemotherapy Versus Preoperative Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Patients With Biopsy-Proven N2 Stage IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

It is suggested that a bimodal or trimodal approach combining neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy followed by surgery provides a potentially superior method of enhancing resectability and improving locoregional control and survival compared to radiotherapy alone followed by surgery. Unsolved questions are the identification of the best induction strategy, the impact of surgery on long-term survival, and the contribution of radiation therapy in this setting. Thus, the investigators conduct a phase II trial to compare neoadjuvant chemotherapy with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with biopsy proven N2 stage IIIA NSCLC to address optimal induction strategy.

What is being measured

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

  1. To estimate the time to recurrence

    Measured: The interval from the date of randomization to the date to the date of the first objective evidence of recurrence or to the date of death, if before recurrence

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To estimate the overall survival

    Measured: from the date of randomization to the date of death

  2. To assess the pathologic complete response rate and the complete resection rate

    Measured: After surgery

  3. To estimate toxicities

    Measured: from the first date of treatment to 30 days after the last dose of study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing chemotherapy and Concurrent chemoradiation therapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 11 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2010. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Heung Tae Kim, M.D. (+82-31-920-1602, htkim@ncc.re.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To estimate the time to recurrence (time frame: The interval from the date of randomization to the date to the date of the first objective evidence of recurrence or to the date of death, if before recurrence). 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 12 Jul 2010.
