About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Combined Oxaliplatin and Paclitaxel for Metastatic Germ Cell Tumors

To evaluate the efficacy of the oxaliplatin-paclitaxel combination i.e. evaluation of tumor response rate using World Health Organization/Union Internationale Contre le Cancer (WHO/UICC) and Indianapolis tumor marker (human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG], alpha fetoprotein [AFP]) criteria in metastatic germ cell cancer patients

Being tested
Oxaliplatin, Paclitaxel
Medical subject headings
Neoplasms, Germ Cell and Embryonal

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oxaliplatin, PaclitaxelDrug

    Also called Eloxatin®, Taxol

    Oxaliplatin was provided in clear glass vials sealed with a rubber stopper and an aluminum seal with a flip-off cover. Each vial contained 50 or 100 mg of active ingredient with 450 or 900 mg, respectively, of lactose monohydrate as excipient

    Paclitaxel was supplied as single dose vials of 30 mg/5 mL or 100 mg/17 mL.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate efficacy of oxaliplatin-paclitaxel combination using established criteria in metastatic germ cell cancer patients

    Measured: during the study conduct

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate safety, and toxicity using established criteria,specific neurotoxicity scales, serious adverse events (SAEs) and treatment withdrawals

    Measured: During the study conduct

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oxaliplatin, Paclitaxel in people with Neoplasms, Germ Cell and Embryonal, run by Sanofi at 1 site in France.

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 15 inclusion and 9 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 11 Feb 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

Evaluate efficacy of oxaliplatin-paclitaxel combination using established criteria in metastatic germ cell cancer patients (time frame: during the study conduct). 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 11 Feb 2008.
