Trial summary

Cares for elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) become one of the common clinical practices oncologist are now facing. So, we need to seek adequate regimens for them. Gemcitabine is well known to be one of active third generation agents in terms of both efficacy and tolerability. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Phase II Trial of a Combination of Gemcitabine and UFT as First-Line Treatment in Elderly Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Carcinoma

Cares for elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) become one of the common clinical practices oncologist are now facing. So, we need to seek adequate regimens for them. Gemcitabine is well known to be one of active third generation agents in terms of both efficacy and tolerability. Gemcitabine alone have been recommended as first line treatment for elderly NSCLC patients, especially in the aspect of tolerability. However, gemcitabine alone is suggested to be suboptimal to control their disease. Therefore, we plan to make an optimal regimen containing gemcitabine for the elderly patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Gemcitabine, UFTDrug

    Gemcitabine 1,250mg/m2 IV on D1 and D8 of every 3 weeks combined with UFT 400mg daily PO for 14 days every 3 weeks. Gemcitabine will be administered to patients a maximum of 4 cycles, and then discontinued. UFT will be continued until progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. overall response rate

    Measured: every two cycles

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. toxicity, response duration, progression free survival, overall survival

    Measured: according to protocol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine, UFT in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Ulsan University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 9 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Young Joo Min, M.D. (82-52-250-8832, yjmin@uuh.ulsan.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall response rate (time frame: every two cycles). 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 28 Feb 2008.
