  • Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests and other study procedures.
  • Written and voluntary informed consent understood, signed and dated.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with tumor harboring EGFR mutation.
  • Prior systemic therapy for NSCLC
  • Non-smoking patients with adenocarcinoma. But if those patients show wild type EGFR, they are eligible to this study.
  • Symptomatic brain metastasis. Brain metastases stable < 2 weeks before dosing or requiring concurrent steroid treatment or with clinical symptoms.
  • Major surgery within 3 weeks prior to study enrollment.
  • Previous (less than 3 years ago) or current malignancies at sites other than curatively treated in situ carcinoma of cervix, or basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

About this study

Official title: Paclitaxel/Carboplatin (PC) Followed by Gefitinib or Paclitaxel/Carboplatin (PC) in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Randomized Phase II Study

This study compares paclitaxel/carboplatin (PC) to PC chemotherapy followed by gefitinib for 2 weeks in patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) without epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.

Expanded acronym : [P]aclitaxel/Ca[r]boplatin (PC) followed by Gef[i]tinib in A[d]vanc[e]d Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Randomized phase II study.

Read the detailed description

A randomized phase II trial that compares paclitaxel/carboplatin (PC) to PC chemotherapy followed by gefitinib for 2 weeks in patients with NSCLC without EGFR mutations. While previous studies with cytotoxic agents and gefitinib failed to show any benefit, we altered the schedule of administration in hopes to gain synergy between agents.

Being tested
Paclitaxel/Carboplatin/Gefitinib, Paclitaxel/Carboplatin
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel/Carboplatin/Gefitinib and Paclitaxel/Carboplatin in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 29 Jan 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 South Korea. 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?

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?

Response Rate (time frame: average 6 months). 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 NCT01196234, 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 29 Jan 2013.
