Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Combined With Intermittent Gefitinib in Patients With Untreated Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Phase Ⅱa Trial

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with gefitinib may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with gefitinib and to see how well it works in treating patients with Stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the efficacy, in terms of overall response, and safety of paclitaxel and carboplatin in combination with intermittent gefitinib in patients with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer.

Secondary

  • Determine the disease-control rate in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive paclitaxel IV on day 1, carboplatin IV on day 2, and oral gefitinib once daily on days 8-17. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of 4 courses, patients with complete response or partial response may continue maintenance therapy comprising oral gefitinib once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients complete the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) at baseline, during study treatment, and after completion of study treatment for quality-of-life study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 2 months for 2 years and then every 4 months thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboplatin, gefitinib and paclitaxel in people with Lung Cancer, run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 12 Aug 2013. 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 China. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall-response rate. 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 12 Aug 2013.
