About this study

Official title: Open Label, Randomized Multicentric Phase II Clinical Trial of Mycobacterium w in Combination With Paclitaxel Plus Cisplatin Versus Paclitaxel and Cisplatin in Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Mycobacterium w in combination with Paclitaxel plus Cisplatin are effective in Advanced Non Small Cell Lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 75% of all lung cancers. majority of patients of NSCLC patients are stage IIIA or IIIB patients are suitable for radiotherapy, which could not improve the survival rates of 5-10%. This study proposed Mycobacterium w (heat killed) in combination chemotherapy of Cisplatin and Paclitaxel along with radiotherapy for adjuvant therapy management of NSCLC in controlled clinical trial, which may prove the efficacy, better survival rate and quality of life.

Being tested
Paclitaxel & Cisplatin, Mycobacterium w.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel & Cisplatin and Mycobacterium w. in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Cadila Pharnmaceuticals at 14 sites in India.

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 10 inclusion and 7 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 7 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in 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. 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?

Overall survival time of patients, quality of life (time frame: 12 months). 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 7 Aug 2012.
