About this study

Official title: Bevacizumab and Carboplatin/Paclitaxel and Radiation in Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study is being done to learn what effects (good and bad) bevacizumab in conjunction with carboplatin/paclitaxel and radiation therapy has on patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Read the detailed description
  • There are three phases of treatment 1)chemoradiation, 2) consolidation and 3)maintenance therapy.
  • The chemoradiation phase is from week 1 to week 7. The following will occur during this phase: Daily chest radiation starting on day 1; pre-medication for paclitaxel; weekly intravenous administration of paclitaxel and carboplatin; intravenous administration of bevacizumab once weekly every three weeks starting on day 1.
  • During weeks 8-9, patients will undergo a PET/CT scan for restaging.
  • The consolidation phase is from week 10 to week 16. The following will occur during this phase: Pre-medication for paclitaxel; intravenous administration of paclitaxel and carboplatin twice weekly every 3 weeks; intravenous administration of bevacizumab once weekly every 3 weeks.
  • The maintenance phase is from week 17 to week 52. The following will occur during this phase; intravenous administration of bevacizumab once a week every three weeks for 1 year; PET/CT scan every three months.
  • The following evaluations will occur during treatment: 1)Patients will be evaluated weekly by the study doctor, 2) Weight, difficulty or discomfort in swallowing, shortness of breath and over well-being will be recorded, 3) Weekly lab test will include CBC, chemistries, and liver function tests. 4) Followed through each cycle of chemotherapy and every 6-8 weeks for the duration of the study.
  • The following evaluations will occur after treatment: 1)Every 6-8 weeks assessed for response with a CT or PET/CT scan for one year, 2) Toxicity will also be assessed at each follow-up interval.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 2 sites in United States.

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 12 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 21 Dec 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To examine the time to progression of the novel regimen in stage III patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy.. 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 21 Dec 2007.
