About this study

Official title: Maintenance Gemcitabine or Best Supportive Care for the Chinese Advanced NSCLC Patients Without Progression Disease After Given Four Cycles of the Induction Chemotherapy With Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin

Lung cancer, the most common cancer worldwide, remains the leading cause of cancer death. Approximately two-thirds of all patients with newly diagnosed non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) present with advanced stage that palliative chemotherapy is the only appropriate measure. The standard treatment for this patient population consists of third generation platinum-based doublet regimen for no more than 6 cycles followed by watch and wait until disease progression (PD) before the administration of second-line and third-line systemic anticancer therapeutic agents. Patients who go on to receive second-line therapy represent a selected subgroup with an improved overall prognosis.

Switch maintenance therapy with pemetrexed or erlotinib in patients with advanced NSCLC without PD after first-line chemotherapy has been confirmed to improve progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) significantly compared with placebo in two large randomized controlled studies. However, continuation gemcitabine maintenance therapy in this setting yields conflicting results in the west, i.e.showing a prolongation of PFS without OS improvement. Thus, we investigate the efficacy and safety of continuation of gemcitabine maintenance therapy for patients with metastatic NSCLC with ECOG performance status of 0-1 and without PD after four cycles of first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin in China.

    Measured: approximately 4 weeks

  3. Time to The Progression

    From the start of maintenance therapy or BSC until the date of documented progressive disease

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Health Related Quality of Life

    From the start of maintenance therapy or BSC until the date of documented progressive disease or the termination of study

    Measured: Approximately 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Gemcitabine in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Tongji 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 15 Apr 2011. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Contact Haiping Zhang, MD (86-21-65115006 ext. 3068, zhp7341@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression free survival (time frame: 12 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 15 Apr 2011.
