About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Trial: Effect of All-trans Retinoic Acid With Chemotherapy Based in Paclitaxel and Cisplatin as First Line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Purpose:

This randomized phase II trial evaluated whether the combination of cisplatin and paclitaxel plus All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) increases Response rate (RR) and Progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an acceptable toxicity profile and its association with the expression of Retinoic acid receptor beta 2 (RAR-beta2) as a response biomarker.

Patients and Methods:

Patients with stage IIIB and IV NSCLC were included to receive Paclitaxel and Cisplatin (PC). Patients were randomized to receive ATRA 20 mg/m2/day (RA/PC) or placebo (P/PC) 1 week prior to treatment until completing two cycles. RAR-beta2 expression was analyzed by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and RT-PCR in tumor and adjacent lung tissue.

What participants receive

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

  • ATRADrug

    Patients were assigned to receive ATRA 20 mg/m2/day (RA/PC) 1 week prior to treatment until completing two courses of chemotherapy based on paclitaxel and cisplatin

  • PLACEBOOther

    Patients were randomized to receive or placebo (P/PC) 1 week prior to treatment until completing two courses of chemotherapy based on paclitaxel and cisplatin

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary end-point was Response rate (RR) and Progression-free survival (PFS), as well as identifying whether expression of RAR-beta2 is a response biomarker.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate the efficiency and safety of low doses of ATRA in patients with advanced NSCLC who receive first-line CT.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ATRA in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by National Institute of Cancerología at 1 site in Mexico.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 Jan 2010. 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 Mexico. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

The primary end-point was Response rate (RR) and Progression-free survival (PFS), as well as identifying whether expression of RAR-beta2 is a response biomarker. (time frame: 2 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 13 Jan 2010.
