What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR)

    Percentage of participants with objective response based on assessment of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Confirmed response are those that persist on repeat imaging study at least 4 weeks after initial documentation of response. CR are those with disappearance of all target lesions. PR are those with at least 30 percent decrease in sum of the longest dimensions of target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum longest dimensions.

    Measured: Baseline until disease progression or discontinuation from the study due to any cause, assessed every 6 weeks during chemotherapy phase and every 8 weeks during single agent phase up to final study visit (Week 78)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time in months from the start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause. OS was calculated as (the death date minus the date of first dose of study medication plus 1) divided by 30.4. Death was determined from adverse event data (where outcome was death) or from follow-up contact data (where the participant current status was death).

    Measured: Baseline until death or assessed every 2 months (up to 28 days after the last dose)

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time in months from start of study treatment to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause. PFS calculated as (Months) = (first event date minus first dose date plus 1) divided by 30.4. Tumor progression was determined from oncologic assessment data (where data meet the criteria for progressive disease [PD]), or from adverse event (AE) data (where the outcome was "Death").

    Measured: Baseline, assessed every 2 months (up to 28 days after the last dose)

  3. Duration of Response (DR)

    Time in months from the first documentation of objective tumor response to objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. Duration of tumor response was calculated as (the date of the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to cancer minus the date of the first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed plus 1) divided by 30.4. DR was calculated for the subgroup of participants with a confirmed objective tumor response.

    Measured: Baseline until disease progression or discontinuation from the study due to any cause, assessed every 6 weeks during chemotherapy phase and every 8 weeks during single agent phase up to final study visit (Week 78)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AG-013736, gemcitabine and cisplatin in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung (NSCLC), run by Pfizer at 10 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 4 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 3 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Ukraine, Romania, Poland, South Africa. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Jan 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR) (time frame: Baseline until disease progression or discontinuation from the study due to any cause, assessed every 6 weeks during chemotherapy phase and every 8 weeks during single agent phase up to final study visit (Week 78)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00735904, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Jan 2013.
