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 Pemetrexed in Combination With Cisplatin and Radiation Therapy

    Recommended Phase 2 MTD was highest dose at which no more than 1 of 6 participants experienced dose level toxicity (DLT). DLT=(1) Grade 3/4 dysphagia/esophagitis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, fatigue/malaise, pneumonitis, dermatitis, persistent elevation of bilirubin/alkaline phosphatase/aspartate aminotransferase only if resulting in delay of radiotherapy >1 week, delay of pemetrexed/cisplatin Cycle 2 >2 weeks, or delay of pemetrexed/cisplatin Cycle 3 past 5 weeks after radiotherapy; (2) other Grade 3 or 4 toxicity possibly related to concurrent treatment administration.

    Measured: Baseline to measured progressive disease (PD; up to 1 year)

  2. Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival (OS) at 1 Year

    OS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to death due to any cause.

    Measured: Baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 1 year)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Phase 1: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE; Toxicity)

    A listing of AEs is located in the Reported Adverse Event module.

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD (up to 1 year)

  2. Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival (OS) at 2 Years and 3 Years

    OS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to death due to any cause.

    Measured: Baseline and 2 years and 3 years

  3. Phase 2: Time to Progressive Disease (PD)

    Time to PD was defined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of objective disease progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions as references the smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. Time to PD was censored at the date of death if death was due to other cause. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who did not have PD, time to PD was censored at the last progression-free disease assessment. For participants who received subsequent cancer therapy (after discontinuation from the study therapy) before PD, time to PD was censored at the date of subsequent cancer therapy initiation.

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years)

  4. Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    The percentage of participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date or last contact and who did not have PD.

    Measured: Baseline and 1 year and 2 years and 3 years

  5. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the period from study entry until PD, death, or date of last contact. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who did not have PD, the PFS date was censored at the last contact date (contacts considered in the determination of last progression free disease assessment).

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD (up to 36 months)

  6. Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Objective Tumor Response (Response Rate)

    Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0). Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD)=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD)=small changes that do not meet above criteria. Objective response rate (%)=number of objective responders divided by the number of participants with measurable disease * 100, where objective responders are those participants who have met criteria either for CR or PR.

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years)

  7. Phase 2: Site of Progressive Disease (PD)

    Summarized participants with local (progression within the sites of initial disease)/regional (disease progression adjacent to but not within the site of initial disease at the start of treatment), distant (disease progression that is blood borne to other parts of the body, including outside the chest or involving the contralateral lung), and local + distant sites of disease. Objective PD is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions as references the smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Pemetrexed Phase 1, Cisplatin Phase 1 and Radiation Therapy in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 4 sites in Canada.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 9 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Canada. 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 28 Sep 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?

Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Pemetrexed in Combination With Cisplatin and Radiation Therapy (time frame: Baseline to measured progressive disease (PD; up to 1 year)). 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 9 Jul 2013.
