About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Assessing the Curative Effect of the Combination of Lobectomy Followed by Mediastinal Concomitant Radiochemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Responding to Induction Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to determine if radical radiochemotherapy on the mediastinum after lobectomy can be associated with significant long term survival in patients with initially unresectable stage III NSCLC responding to induction chemotherapy but in which the residual disease is too large to be treated by radiotherapy.

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 registration until death or last follow up

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Operative mortality and morbidity

    Measured: To be observed during the 30 days following the surgical procedure

  2. Local control rate

    Measured: After completion of treatment

  3. Toxicity

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lobectomy followed by concomitant mediastinal chemoradiotherapy in people with Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by European Lung Cancer Working Party at 12 sites in 3 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 8 inclusion and 16 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 12 sites in Belgium, 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: The study was terminated due to too 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 registration 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.
