What is being measured

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

  1. Survival

    Measured: Survival will be dated from the day of randomisation until death or last follow up

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response rate

    Measured: At the end of the whole treatment

  2. Toxicity

    Measured: After each course of chemotherapy and at the end of treatment

  3. Local control rate

    Measured: After completion of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Concomitant Radiochemotherapy - Radiotherapy 66 Gy, Cisplatin, and Docetaxel and Concomitant Chemoradiotherapy - Radiotherapy 66 Gy, Cisplatin, and Docetaxel in people with Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by European Lung Cancer Working Party at 19 sites in 4 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 6 inclusion and 19 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 12 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in Belgium, France, Greece, Spain. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Survival (time frame: Survival will be dated from the day of randomisation until death or last follow up). 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 12 Feb 2015.
