About this study

Official title: Apatinib in the Treatment of Advanced Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer:a Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicentre Phase III Study

Apatinib is a new kind of Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor(VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The investigators have finished the preclinical and phase I and phase II clinical study for apatinib and found its satisfactory anti-tumor activity and tolerated toxicities. A disease-control rate of 75% was found in lung cancer patients. In the present phase III trial, the investigators will further evaluate the efficacy and toxicities of apatinib in the treatment of advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival as the time from randomization to documented disease progression according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) or death.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective Response Rate(ORR)

    ORR was the percentage of patients who got partial or complete response

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Overall Survival(OS)

    OS was determined from date of enrollment until death or the date the patient was recorded alive of last follow-up

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Toxicity

    Adverse events (AEs) were recorded, graded for toxicity using the NCI-CTC, and assessed by the investigator for any relationship with treatment.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing apatinib in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, 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 12 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 9 Dec 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Progression free survival (PFS) (time frame: 24 months). 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 9 Dec 2013.
