Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The patients eligible for the study are those with a diagnosis, histologically or cytologically proven, of NSCLC without metastases at stages IB, IIA, IIB and IIIA (not N2) of the disease. Patients with stage IA and tumor size >2cm will be eligible as well.
  • Patients aged > 18 years.
  • Tumor considered resectable by the attending surgeon.
  • The patient must have an ECOG *2 or Karnofsky >60%.
  • The patients need to have adequate hematological, renal and hepatic function defined as:
  • Absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) 1.5 x 109/L Platelet counts 100 x 109/L Total bilirubin 1.25 x upper limit of normal distribution Serum creatinine <120 umol/L (<1.5 mg/dl) Creatinine clearance >60 ml/min
Show all 11Show fewer
  • ANC = segmented neutrophils + banded neutrophils
  • The patients should have recovered from any serious surgical sequellae.
  • Informed consent must be obtained from the patient in accordance with the requirements of the IRB/EC.
  • If female, the patient must not be pregnant or breast-feeding. Women of child bearing potential need to have a pregnancy test performed and to take appropriate contraceptive action during the period of the study.
  • Operability criteria: Lung function test will be performed so as to confirm a predictive postoperative value of FEV-1 >-800 ml, i.e. correct homeostasis. A carbon monoxide diffusion test is to be conducted and, when applicable, repeated following the induction treatment while taking into account the sensitivity of post-chemotherapy pulmonary toxicity detection.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have previously been treated with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
  • History of significant cardiovascular disease such as non-controlled hypertension, unstable angina or congestive heart failure even if these are controlled by medication. Documented history of acute myocardial infarction in the previous year, ventricular arrhythmias that required medication or 2nd or 3rd atrial-ventricular blocks.
  • Pre-existing sensory or motor neurotoxicity grade >2 based on the WHO criteria.
  • Active infection or other clinical state that could seriously reduce the patient's capacity to tolerate the treatment protocol, including previous allergic reactions to products containing Cremophor (e.g. cyclosporin or vitamin K).
  • Previous or concomitant malignant tumor (with the exception of in situ cervical carcinoma, baso-cellular carcinoma, squamous cell skin carcinoma or urothelial superficial carcinoma) which are considered potentially curable with oncological treatment and have a disease free survival (DFS) greater than 5 years EXCEPTING breast cancer, melanoma and hypernephroma
  • Marked psychoses or senility

What participants receive

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

  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (taxol and carboplatin)Drug

    Taxol: 200mg/m2 infusion over 3 hours; Carboplatin: AUC= 6 at the end of the Taxol infusion. Administration of 3 cycles at 21-day intervals. Prior to surgery.

  • Adjuvant chemotherapy (taxol and carboplatin)Drug

    Taxol: 200mg/m2 infusion over 3 hours; Carboplatin: AUC= 6 at the end of the Taxol infusion. Administration of 3 cycles at 21 days interval. Post-surgery

  • SurgeryProcedure or surgery

1ExperimentalThe patients will be randomized to receive taxol (Paclitaxel) and carboplatin as adjuvant or as neoadjuvant regimen or to surgery alone

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS)

    DFS: defined as the length of time from the date of diagnosis to the date of the first documented progression of disease OS: defined as the length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of the treatment that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate levels of response and the adverse effects of the chemotherapy

    Occurrence and severity of adverse events

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (taxol and carboplatin), Adjuvant chemotherapy (taxol and carboplatin) and Surgery in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer, run by Spanish Lung Cancer Group.

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 11 inclusion and 6 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 13 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00913705, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Jun 2022.
