About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Phase II Anamorelin HCl Dose Range Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Anamorelin HCl in Patients With NSCLC

The purpose of this study is to evaluate doses of anamorelin for safety and efficacy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

Cancer cachexia is a devastating, often late-stage complication of an underlying malignancy. Despite the significant importance of cancer-related cachexia, treatments are lacking and there are no products approved for this indication. Anamorelin HCl, by virtue of its ghrelin agonist activity, may serve a role in the treatment of cancer cachexia. This placebo controlled dose range study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of anamorelin HCl in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, a cancer associated with a high prevalence of cachexia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anamorelin HCl in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Helsinn Therapeutics (U.S.), Inc at 33 sites in 2 countries.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in United States, India. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Hand grip strength and body weight (time frame: Twelve weeks). 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 14 Apr 2017.
