Trial summary

Oxaliplatin is a diaminocyclohexane platinum compound, with a mechanism of action similar to that of cisplatin. Oxaliplatin has a more manageable toxicity profile than cisplatin, with no renal toxicity and a lower incidence of hematological and gastrointestinal toxicities. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Gemcitabine Plus Oxaliplatin for Patients With Advanced Stage IIIB or IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Oxaliplatin is a diaminocyclohexane platinum compound, with a mechanism of action similar to that of cisplatin. Oxaliplatin has a more manageable toxicity profile than cisplatin, with no renal toxicity and a lower incidence of hematological and gastrointestinal toxicities. Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin are both active in NSCLC with no overlapping toxicity. Preclinical studies show a synergistic effect of the gemcitabine-oxaliplatin combination. The combination of gemcitabine-oxaliplatin is attractive in NSCLC patients as it may improve the therapeutic index.

Read the detailed description

The combination of gemcitabine-oxaliplatin is attractive in NSCLC patients as it may improve the therapeutic index. We are conducting a phase II study to evaluate the response rate and toxicity of the gemcitabine-oxaliplatin combination both given every 4 weeks in patients with advanced NSCLC.

What participants receive

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

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 iv on D1 and 15, every 4 weeks until disease progression

  • GemcitabineDrug

    gemcitabine 1250mg/m2 iv on day 1 and 15, every 4 weeks until disease progression

What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate

    Measured: every 12 weeks during until disease progression

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To access the toxicity

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

  2. To estimate the time to progression and overall survival

    Measured: the first day of treatment to the date that disease progression is reported

  3. To evaluate the improvement quality of life

    Measured: before the first treatment and every cycle d1 until diseas progression

  4. To estimate the overall survival

    Measured: the first day of the treatment to death date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oxaliplatin and Gemcitabine 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 12 inclusion and 6 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 25 Oct 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?

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: every 12 weeks during until disease progression). 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 25 Oct 2010.
