About this study

This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel, carboplatin and bevacizumab combination, administered biweekly, in patients with pretreated, advanced non small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The addition of bevacizumab to paclitaxel plus carboplatin in the 1st line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) provided a survival benefit. There are patients with NSCLC who have not received bevacizumab and have relapsed after 1st and/or 2nd line therapy. The evaluation of bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in such patients is justified. The combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin, administered every two weeks, has a favorable toxicity profile. This study will evaluate the addition of bevacizumab to a biweekly regimen of paclitaxel and carboplatin as 2nd or 3rd line therapy for NSCLC

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Carboplatin, Bevacizumab and Paclitaxel in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hellenic Oncology Research Group at 10 sites in Greece.

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 21 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 4 Oct 2016. 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 Greece. 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 Response Rate (time frame: Objective responses confirmed by CT or MRI (on 3rd and 6th cycle)). 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 4 Oct 2016.
