About this study

Official title: Randomized Fase II Trial: Comparing Cisplatin, Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine Versus Cisplatin, Paclitaxel, Gemcitabine and Avastin in Patients With Unknown Primary Tumors

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Cisplatin, Paclitaxel, Gemcitabine +/- Avastin (Bevacizumab) in patients with unknown primary tumors.

Read the detailed description

Upon determination of eligibility, all patients will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms:

Arm A: Cisplatin, Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine

  • Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV infusion, Day 1
  • Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV infusion, Day 1
  • Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 IV infusion, Day 1 and 8

Arm B: Cisplatin, Paclitaxel, Gemcitabine and Avastin (Bevacizumab)

  • Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV infusion, Day 1
  • Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV infusion, Day 1
  • Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 IV infusion, Day 1 and 8
  • Bevacizumab 7,5 mg/m2 IV infusion, Day 1

Patients will be stratified by number of metastatic sites (one versus two or more) and the level of Lactate Dehydrogenase (normal versus high).

The regimens will be repeated every 21 days.

Being tested
Cisplatin, Paclitaxel, Gemcitabine, Avastin (Bevacizumab)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cisplatin, Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine in people with Unknown Primary Tumors, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2015. 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 Denmark. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Progression Free Survival. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 May 2015.
