About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Biweekly Gemcitabine and Docetaxel as First Line Therapy for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With ECOG PS 2

There is little information of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 2 patients analyzed in the clinical trials. The rate of patients recruited into Treatment Chemotherapy as 1st Line in Advanced NSCLC clinical trials is less than 20 percent.

This low rate makes the investigators think about the possibility of a bias selection, due to the existence of this exclusion criteria that do not permit to include patients with deteriorated performance status.

In these types of patients, the toxicity is an important issue to decide the therapeutic strategy. Gemcitabine and Docetaxel combination is very interesting because they have a different toxicity profile. This combination has demonstrated activity in several types of tumours, as breast cancer, sarcoma and lung cancer.

The strategy performed in this study is biweekly combination of Gemcitabine and Docetaxel; activity and dose intensity will be the same, but toxicity will be significantly low.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response rate = sum of complete and partial tumour responses divided by the number of included patients

    Measured: 2 and 4 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall survival

    Measured: Time from study entry to death from any cause

  2. Toxicity

    Measured: Biweekly

  3. Duration of response

    Measured: time from first response (CR or PR) to tumor progression

  4. Time to progression

    Measured: time from study entry to observed tumor progression or death due to progression disease

  5. Measurement of quality of life

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Hospital Arnau de Vilanova at 12 sites in Spain.

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 9 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Oscar Juan, Doctor (0034963868501, juan_osc@gva.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall response rate = sum of complete and partial tumour responses divided by the number of included patients (time frame: 2 and 4 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 21 May 2009.
