What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Survival Without Grade 3 or 4 Toxicity
Defined as the time from date of randomization to first date of a Grade 3 or 4 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE; as graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE], version 3.0) or death due to any cause. Grade 3 TEAE: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated. Grade 4 TEAE: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated.
Participants who were alive without experiencing Grade 3 or 4 toxicity were censored at the date of last contact.
Measured: Baseline to until 218 events (defined as death or Grade 3 or 4 toxicity) have been observed (up to 33.3 months).
Secondary outcomes (6)
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is the duration from enrollment to death. For participants who are alive, OS is censored at the last contact.
Measured: Baseline to until 218 events (defined as death or Grade 3 or 4 toxicity) have been observed (up to 33.3 months).
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Defined as the time from date of first dose to the first observation of disease progression (PD), or death due to any cause.
Measured: Baseline to until 218 events (defined as death or Grade 3 or 4 toxicity) have been observed (up to 33.3 months).
Percentage of Participants With Tumor Response (Response Rate)
Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)=at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD)=at least a 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD)=small changes not meeting above criteria. Response rate (%)=Number of participants with CR+PR/Number of participants analyzed *100. Disease Control rate=Number of participants with SD+PR+CR/Number of participants analyzed *100.
Measured: Baseline to until 218 events (defined as death or Grade 3 or 4 toxicity) have been observed (up to 33.3 months).
Survival Without Clinically Important Grade 3 or 4 Toxicity
Survival without Grade 3 or 4 toxicity is the time from date of randomization to the first date of the following clinically important Grade 3 or 4 TEAEs graded by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE], version 3.0: neutropenia (lasting >5 days), febrile neutropenia, documented infections related to neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, and neurosensory events; or death due to any cause. Participants who were alive without experiencing Grade 3 or 4 toxicity were censored for this analysis at the date of last contact.
Measured: Baseline to until 218 events (defined as death or Grade 3 or 4 toxicity) have been observed (up to 33.3 months).
Survival Without Grade 4 Toxicity
Survival without Grade 4 toxicity is the time from the date of randomization to the first date of a Grade 4 TEAE or death due to any cause. Participants who are alive without experiencing Grade 4 toxicity will be censored for this analysis at the date of last contact.
Measured: Baseline to until 218 events (defined as death or Grade 4 toxicity) have been observed (up to 33.3 months).
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Summaries of serious AEs (SAEs) and all other non-serious AEs are located in the Reported Adverse Event Module.
Measured: Baseline to until 218 events (defined as death or Grade 3 or 4 toxicity) have been observed (up to 33.3 months).

What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing pemetrexed, docetaxel and carboplatin in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 20 sites in 6 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 3 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 10 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 20 sites in Australia, Brazil, Mexico, China, South Korea and 1 more country. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jul 2011). 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?
Survival Without Grade 3 or 4 Toxicity (time frame: Baseline to until 218 events (defined as death or Grade 3 or 4 toxicity) have been observed (up to 33.3 months).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00520676, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 10 Aug 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
