What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1 - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Carboplatin

    MTD was defined as a dose at which the occurrence of at least 2 dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) was observed. DLT was defined as any of the following events occurring during the entire radiation therapy (RT) course, including a 2-week recovery period following completion of RT: Grade 4 neutropenia (<0.5 x 10^9 cells per liter) lasting >7 days, febrile neutropenia; ≥Grade 3 neutropenia with fever >38.5 degrees Celsius (°C), Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with ≥Grade 2 bleeding, ≥Grade 3 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding nausea, vomiting, and transaminase elevations) and ≥Grade 3 pulmonary or esophageal toxicity (radiation-related pneumonitis or esophagitis).

    Measured: Phase 1 enrollment to the end of study treatment up to Week 11

  2. Phase 1 - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Cisplatin

    MTD was defined as a dose at which the occurrence of at least 2 dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) was observed. DLT was defined as any of the following events occurring during the entire radiation therapy (RT) course, including a 2-week recovery period following completion of RT: Grade 4 neutropenia (<0.5 x 10^9 cells per liter) lasting >7 days, febrile neutropenia; ≥Grade 3 neutropenia with fever >38.5 degrees Celsius (°C), Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with ≥Grade 2 bleeding, ≥Grade 3 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding nausea, vomiting, and transaminase elevations) and ≥Grade 3 pulmonary or esophageal toxicity (radiation-related pneumonitis or esophagitis).

    Measured: Phase 1 enrollment to the end of study treatment up to Week 11

  3. Phase 2 - Survival Probability at 2 Years

    Measured: Phase 2 randomization up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Phase 1 - Pharmacology Toxicity: Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Phase 1 pharmacology toxicity was defined as the number of participants experiencing dose limiting toxicities (DLTs). DLT was defined as any of the following events occurring during the entire radiation therapy (RT) course: Grade 4 neutropenia (<0.5 x 10^9 cells per liter) >7 days, febrile neutropenia, ≥Grade 3 neutropenia with fever >38.5 degrees Celsius (°C), Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with ≥Grade 2 bleeding, ≥Grade 3 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding nausea, vomiting, and transaminase elevations), and ≥Grade 3 pulmonary or esophageal toxicity (radiation-related pneumonitis or esophagitis). Grade 5 events are the events leading to the death.

    Measured: Phase 1 enrollment up to Week 11

  2. Phase 1 - Percentage of Participants With Complete Response or Partial Response (Response Rate)

    Response rate is the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. CR is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. Response rate is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR divided by the total number of participants treated multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Phase 1 enrollment to the end of the study treatment up to Week 11

  3. Phase 2 - Pharmacology Toxicity: Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Phase 2 pharmacology toxicity was defined as the number of participants who experienced serious adverse events or all other nonserious adverse events during the study. A summary of serious adverse events and other nonserious adverse events is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.

    Measured: Phase 2 randomization to the end of the study treatment up to 30.0 months

  4. Phase 2 - Time to Progression

    Time to disease progression was measured from randomization of Study Phase 2 to the first observation of disease progression according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Disease progression is ≥20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and/or a new lesion.

    Measured: Phase 2 randomization to measured disease progression up to 24 months

  5. Phase 2 - Median Survival

    Measured: Phase 2 randomization to death as the result of any cause up to 30.0 month

  6. Phase 2 - Percentage of Participants With Complete Response or Partial Response (Response Rate)

    Response rate is the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. CR is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. Response rate is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR divided by the total number of participants treated multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Phase 2 randomization to the end of the treatment up to 30.0 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing pemetrexed, cisplatin and carboplatin in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 11 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 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 27 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, India. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Nov 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Phase 1 - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Carboplatin (time frame: Phase 1 enrollment to the end of study treatment up to Week 11). The study lists 3 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 27 Nov 2012.
