About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial on the Prevention of Thrombocytopenia After First-line Chemotherapy With GC/GP Regimens for Non-small-cell Lung Carcinoma Using Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin (rhTPO)

To assess the efficacy and safety of administration of rhTPO at different time in the treatment of thrombocytopenia caused by first-line GC/GP regimen for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, controlled, open-labeled, multicenter clinical trial. The subjects are patients with NSCLC who are going to receive GC/GP regimen chemotherapy.

Vadhan-Raj et al conducted a study in which they administered rhTPO in various ways to patients with sarcoma receiving platinum-containing chemotherapy. The results demonstrated that timing of administration of rhTPO can be adjusted according to the occurrence time of nadir platelet values induced by chemotherapy. The timing of administration of rhTPO in this study was determined based on the above proofs.

What participants receive

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

  • recombinant human thrombopoietinDrug

    Also called rhTPO

    Recombinant human thrombopoietin injection in 15000U/ml/amp.

Study groups in NCT01319669
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Treatment groupExperimentalrhTPO(recombinant human thrombopoietin) is given on the second, 4th and 9th day of the chemotherapy cycle in a dosage of 15000U once subcutaneously.
Receives: Drug: recombinant human thrombopoietin
Control groupActive comparator15000U of rhTPO(recombinant human thrombopoietin) is given subcutaneously 6 to 24 hours within the end of chemotherapy cycle, that is, the 8th day for 3 consecutive days (d9 to d11)
Receives: Drug: recombinant human thrombopoietin

What is being measured

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

  1. minimum and maximum value of platelet count after chemotherapy

    To evaluate the minimum and maximum value of platelet count after chemotherapy and the value of platelet count and their D-values comparing with the baseline values

    Measured: nine weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The duration when patient's platelet count remains below 50×109/L

    The duration when patient's platelet count remains below 50×109/L, the time (in day) when patient's platelet count increases over 75×109/L and 100×109/L, the amount of platelet infused (number of units of apheresis platelet should be transformed into number of units of platelet concentrate)

    Measured: nine weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing recombinant human thrombopoietin in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Chinese Society of Lung Cancer 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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2017. 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 combined 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.

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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: recruiting too slowly). 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?

minimum and maximum value of platelet count after chemotherapy (time frame: nine weeks). 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 3 Mar 2017.
