About this study

Official title: Individualized 1st Line Chemotherapy Based on BRCA1 and RRM1 mRNA Expression Levels for Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Gemcitabine, docetaxel, CPT-11 and cisplatin are effective in 1st line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Platinum-based doublets including gemcitabine, docetaxel or CPT-11 are standard 1st regimens. BRCA1 and RRM1 expression levels are reported to be associated with sensitivity of the tumor cells to cytotoxic agents. Some Phase II or III trials did prove feasibility of customized chemotherapy based upon expression levels of one or two biomarkers in the NSCLC patients. The investigators think customized chemotherapy may further improve efficacy of chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC. But there is no randomised trial to compare efficacy of standard chemotherapy with individualized chemotherapy in this setting. So, the investigators plan to initiate this phase II trial to compare efficacy between standard chemotherapy of gemcitabine/cisplatin versus customized chemotherapy in chemonaive NSCLC patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Gemcitabine, Docetaxel, CPT-11,CisplatinDrug

    Also called gemcitabine:Gemzar, Docetaxel:Taxotere, CPT-11:Irinotecan

    Based on expression levels of RRM1 and BRCA1 mRNA,one of the four regimens will be given to each patient: Gemcitabine/cisplatin, Docetaxel/gemcitabine, CPT-11/Cisplatin, docetaxel monotherapy. The chemotherapy will be repeated every 3 week. Dose reduction or interruption for toxicity could take place at any time.

  • gemcitabine/cisplatinDrug

    Also called gemcitabine:Gemzar

    gemcitabine/cisplatin up to 6 cycles or disease progression or intolerable toxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine, Docetaxel, CPT-11,Cisplatin and gemcitabine/cisplatin 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 11 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 25 Sep 2014. 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?

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?

Overall response rate (time frame: tumor assessment 6-8 weeks after the initiation of chemotherapy). 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 25 Sep 2014.
