About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Pemetrexed and Cisplatin Plus Cetuximab Followed by Pemetrexed and Cetuximab Maintenance Therapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (Stage IIIB or IV) Other Than Predominantly Squamous Cell Histology

This study will estimate the response rate in patients with advanced or metastatic non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Patients who don't progress after 4 to 6 cycles of induction treatment with pemetrexed, cisplatin and cetuximab will receive maintenance treatment with pemetrexed and cetuximab.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PemetrexedDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Tumor Response (Objective Tumor Response Rate)

    Response was assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. Tumor response is presented as a percentage (%) and is the number of participants with a CR plus PR divided by the number of participants in the protocol qualified (PQ) population, then multiplied by 100.

    Measured: From start of treatment until documented best response. (up to 18.9 months)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is measured from study entry until disease progression, death or date of last contact. Progressive disease (PD) was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. PD = 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. For participants not known to have died or have had objective PD as of the data cutoff date, PFS was censored at the date of the last objective progression-free disease assessment.

    Measured: From start of treatment until documented disease progression or death from any cause (up to 18.9 months)

  2. The Percentage of Participants Still Living at One Year (One Year Survival Rate)

    The one year survival rate is presented as percentage (%) of participants still living at one year and is the number of participants that are still alive at one year divided by the number of participants in the protocol qualified (PQ) population, which is then multiplied by 100.

    Measured: One year

  3. The Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) (Disease Control Rate [DCR])

    The DCR is presented as percentage (%) and is the number of participants with a best tumor response of CR, PR, or SD divided by the number of participants in the protocol qualified (PQ) population, then multiplied by 100. Best tumor response of CR, PR, or SD was determined from the sequence of tumor response assessments. Tumor response was assessed using RECIST criteria. CR=disappearance of all target lesions; PR=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; SD=small changes that do not meet above criteria.

    Measured: From start of treatment until documented best tumor response (up to 18.9 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pemetrexed, Cisplatin and Cetuximab in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 24 sites in 6 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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Austria and 1 more country. 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 16 May 2012). 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 a Tumor Response (Objective Tumor Response Rate) (time frame: From start of treatment until documented best response. (up to 18.9 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 15 Jun 2015.
