  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed NSCLC.

Show all 13Show fewer
  • FEV1 sufficient for patients to tolerate radiation therapy, which is at the discretion of the radiation oncologist, usually > 800 ml, but may be higher or lower depending on the volume of radiotherapy portal, which is a variable of the tumor extent.

About this study

Official title: A Modified Two Stage Phase II Study of Combination Abraxane and Radiation for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

For patients with stage III Lung Cancer, We propose one cycle chemotherapy using Abraxane and Carboplatin, followed by pulsed low-dose sensitizing Abraxane chemotherapy and daily Radiation. This will be followed by more hi-dose chemotherapy. We anticipate this regimen to target early distant microscopic spread by using one cycle of chemotherapy prior to radiation, and to achieve control of the disease in the lung by combining pulsed low-dose sensitizing Abraxane, with radiation.

Being tested
radiation therapy, Paclitaxel Protein-Bound, and CARBOPLATIN
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What participants receive

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

  • radiation therapyRadiation

    1. PTV = CTV (GTV + 1.5-cm margins and the most adjacent nodal regions) + 0.5 cm margins to 5,040 cGy in 180 cGy daily fractions; and (2) Cone Down PTV = GTV +1.5 cm margins to 6,480 cGy.
  • Paclitaxel Protein-Bound, and CARBOPLATINDrug

    Induction Chemotherapy Abraxane(260 mg/m2) / Carboplatin (AUC of 6) x one cycle Concurrent Chemotherapy(with radiation)--for first 3 pts--20 mg/m2 Abraxane, 3 times per week then for next group of 3 pts--30 mg/m2 Abraxane twice a week

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess feasibility of one cycle induction chemotherapy of Abraxane plus Carboplatin followed by low-dose sensitizing Abraxane and radiation followed by consolidation Abraxane and carboplatin for stage III NSCLC.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To estimate the local tumor response rate

    Measured: 4 years

  2. To estimate 2-year in-field tumor control.

    Measured: 6 year

  3. To estimate 2-year disease free survival (DFS).

    Measured: 6 years

  4. To estimate 2-year overall survival (OS).

    Measured: 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing radiation therapy and Paclitaxel Protein-Bound, and CARBOPLATIN in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage III, run by University of Rochester at 1 site in United States.

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 13 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

To assess feasibility of one cycle induction chemotherapy of Abraxane plus Carboplatin followed by low-dose sensitizing Abraxane and radiation followed by consolidation Abraxane and carboplatin for stage III NSCLC. (time frame: 4 years). 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 27 Apr 2015.
