What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the interval between the date of randomization (date on which the investigator evaluated the participant and first determined he/she had disease progression) and the first occurrence of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause. Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1, PD is defined as a >=20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of >=1 new lesion).

    Measured: Randomization until progression or death (up to 85 weeks)

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

    OS was determined from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. Participants who had not died at the time of the cut-off for the final analysis were censored at the date the participants were last known to be alive. Because enrollment in the study was halted prematurely, the ability to achieve an estimate of OS was compromised. Consequently, OS was not estimated.

    Measured: Randomization until death (up to 85 weeks)

  2. Best Overall Response, Assessed as the Number of Participants With the Indicated Tumor Response: Investigator Assessed Only

    Tumor response was assessed by the Investigator according to the RECIST, version 1.0. A participant was defined as a responder if he/she sustained a complete response (CR; the disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR; >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions) for at least 4 weeks at any time during randomized treatment. Stable disease is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter since the treatment started.

    Measured: Randomization until response or progressive disease (up to 85 weeks)

  3. Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response or a Partial Response

    The percentage of participants with a complete response or a partial response was evaluated.

    Measured: Randomization until response or progressive disease (up to 85 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pazopanib and pemetrexed and pemetrexed and cisplatin in people with Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 2 sites in 2 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 20 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 20 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark, United Kingdom. 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 Feb 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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Randomization until progression or death (up to 85 weeks)). 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 20 Jun 2013.
