What participants receive

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

  • Proton Radiation TherapyRadiation

    A five week coarse of proton radiotherapy begins on day 28 and is given once daily for the first two weeks and twice daily for the final 3 weeks. The total dose given with proton beam is 76 Gy. Weekly chemotherapy with carboplatin and taxol is given during proton therapy.

  • TaxolDrug

    Also called Paclitaxel

    200 mg/m2, IV, for 2 cycles followed by 50 mg/m2 weekly for 5 weeks during radiotherapy.

  • CarboplatinDrug

    AUC 6, IV, for two cycles followed by AUC 2 weekly for 5 weeks during radiotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival.

    Median survival time following treatment.

    Measured: Monthly for duration of participant lifespan. Average lifespan 1-2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Treatment Related Toxicities.

    grade 3 or higher esophageal toxicity

    Toxicity is categorized either early or late phase.

    Early phase- toxicity occurring during or within 30 days s/p treatment Late phase- toxicity occurring thereafter

    Measured: Monthly for duration of participant lifespan. Average lifespan 1-2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Proton Radiation Therapy, Taxol and Carboplatin in people with Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Loma Linda University at 1 site 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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2014. 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 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 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 22 May 2014). 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?

Overall Survival. (time frame: Monthly for duration of participant lifespan. Average lifespan 1-2 years). 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 22 May 2014.
