Trial summary

The usual response to chemotherapy is decided through the image change by computed tomography (CT), which is taken at least 6-9 weeks. In order to predict the response to chemotherapy earlier, patients received FDG-PET scan at the first cycle of chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Standard Chemotherapy Strategy Versus Changing Chemotherapy Strategy as to FDG-PET Response After 1st Cycle of Standard Chemotherapy for Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The usual response to chemotherapy is decided through the image change by computed tomography (CT), which is taken at least 6-9 weeks.

In order to predict the response to chemotherapy earlier, patients received FDG-PET scan at the first cycle of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy was guided by the metabolic response by FDG-PET scan.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, Open-label, Randomized phase II, single institution trial that compared chemotherapy guided by traditional evaluation based on RECIST versus chemotherapy guided by FDG-PET (metabolic) response.

Being tested
FDR-PET, CT

What participants receive

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

  • FDR-PETDevice

    FDR-PET performed after 1 cycle of chemotherapy

  • CTDevice

    CT performed after 3 cycles of chemotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. change in response rate

    The usual response rate of GenexolPM/Cisplatin chemotherapy is 30-40%. This trial will assess whether the changing chemotherapy strategy using FDG-PET can increase response rate by 15%.

    Measured: within 4 cycles

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FDR-PET and CT in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Asan Medical Center.

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 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2010. 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 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?

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?

change in response rate (time frame: within 4 cycles). 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 28 Jul 2010.
