About this study

Official title: Multicenter Randomized Phase III Study Comparing Fixed Doses Versus Toxicity Adjusted Dosing of Cisplatin and Etoposide for Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to compare the activity of fixed doses of cisplatin and etoposide with toxicity adjusted dosing of the same drugs in the first-line treatment of small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The standard treatment for advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is combination chemotherapy of cisplatin or carboplatin with etoposide. Standard fixed doses of this combination have been based on calculating a patient's body surface area. This method of dose calculation has been shown to be poorly correlated with the activity of many chemotherapy drugs, and some patients do not obtain adequate levels of the drug in their circulation. Recent reports suggest that patients who have a very high tolerability to chemotherapy (without significant toxicity), are at risk for having less effectiveness of the therapy. This study will compare fixed doses of standard chemotherapy with a new strategy of the same chemotherapy with doses that will be adjusted according to the toxicity observed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing cisplatin and etoposide in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute, Naples at 12 sites in Italy.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 24 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Italy. 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?

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?

objective response (time frame: after 3 and 6 cycles of chemotherapy). 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 NCT00526396, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Mar 2023.
