About this study

Official title: A Phase 2,Open-label Study of First Line Pemetrexed Plus Cisplatin Versus Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin for Advanced and Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Biomarker Study

A phase III trial has demonstrated that in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cisplatin/ pemetrexed provides similar efficacy with better tolerability and more convenient administration than cisplatin/gemcitabine. Moreover,this trial showed survival differences based on histologic type. The investigators want to research some biomarkers that can predict clinical outcomes.

Being tested
cisplatin, dexamethasone,vitamin B12, folic acid, cisplatin, gemcitabine
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What participants receive

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

  • cisplatin, dexamethasone,vitamin B12, folic acidDrug

    Patients received cisplatin 75mg/m2 plus pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 on day 1.Chemotherapy was repeated every 3 weeks for a maximum of six cycles.Patients received dexamethasone prophylaxis of 3.75mg orally twice per day on the day before, the day of, and the day after each day-1 treatment. patients received oral folic acid (1,000ug)daily and a vitamin B12 injection (1,000 ug) every 9 weeks, beginning 1 to 2 weeks before the first dose and continuing until 3 weeks after the last dose of study treatment

  • cisplatin, gemcitabineDrug

    cisplatin 75mg/m2 on day 1 plus gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, dexamethasone,vitamin B12, folic acid and cisplatin, gemcitabine in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Efficacy, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 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 16 Jun 2016. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jun 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 36months). 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 NCT01194453, 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 16 Jun 2016.
