About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Carboplatin, Bevacizumab and Pemetrexed in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to look for an improvement in progression free survival with the combination of bevacizumab, carboplatin and pemetrexed in patients with newly diagnosed advanced/metastatic non small cell lung cancer. Overall survival and safety will also be assessed.

Read the detailed description

Carboplatin: AUC 5 IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 Pemetrexed: 500mg/M2 IV over 10 minutes on day 1 Bevacizumab: 15mg/kg IV over 90 minutes on day 1 (if rate is tolerated the 2nd dose may be decreased to 60 minutes and subsequent doses to 30 minutes This regimen will be administered every 6 weeks for up to a maximum of 6 cycles if the patient tolerates the treatment and has stable disease. Bevacizumab will be continues if tolerated for up to 1 year at every 3 week intervals.

Folic acid 1mg by mouth daily, Vitamin B12 1000 ug IM every 9 weeks and Dexamethasone 4mg by mouth twice a day and and antiemetic may be prescribed by the physician investigator to help reduce side effects associated with the Pemetrexed. The Folic acid and Vitamin B12 will continue until 3 weeks after the end of treatment.

Physical exams, vital signs and blood work will be done prior to each chemotherapy cycle. A urine dipstick to check for protein in the urine will be done prior to the first treatment and before cycles 3 and 5. A CAT scan of the chest will be done pretreatment, prior to cycles 3 and 5 and at the end of treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year").

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year").

  2. Overall Survival

    Overal survival was defined as time between the date of treatment assignment and the date of death

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year").

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With Complete and Partial Tumor Responses

    A complete response (CR),was disappearance of all target lesions on CT scan and absence of appearance of any new lesion was required. Partial response (PR) was assessed by at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions without appearance of any new lesions. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Patients were assessed to have stable disease if neither sufficient decrease to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, without appearance of new lesions. Patients who received one or more cycles were evaluable for response.

    Measured: Patients were enrolled over a 24 month period for treatment visits. After end of treatment visits, subjects were seen or contacted every 3 months for survival data. Median follow up was 49 weeks (6 weeks to death.

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Measured by adverse events such as grade 4 toxicities, hospitalizations for toxicities, fever and neutropenia events, and clinically significant bleeding/thrombotic events.

    Measured: Subjects were seen or contacted every 3 months with medain follow up of 49 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Carboplatin, Pemetrexed and Bevacizumab in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Christiana Care Health Services.

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 12 inclusion and 24 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 20 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Mar 2019). 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?

Progression Free Survival (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed 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 20 Mar 2019.
