Trial summary

Millions of patients die of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) every year. There are several methods to treat NSCLC, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and bioimmuotherapy. Recently, hyperthermia therapy has played an important role in neoplasm therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Contrasted Polycentric Clinical Study About Chemotherapy Combined With Whole-body Hyperthermia(WBH)to Treat Stage IIIB/IV Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Millions of patients die of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) every year. There are several methods to treat NSCLC, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and bioimmuotherapy. Recently, hyperthermia therapy has played an important role in neoplasm therapy. It has showed some effect in NSCLC both in animal experiment and clinical practice, yet there is little literature about Whole-body Hyperthermia (WBH) with neoplasm. The investigators decides to develop this randomized contrasted multicenter clinical study to testify to the effect of chemotherapy combined with WBH to treat stage IIIB/IV Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing chemotherapy & WBH in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage IIIB and Toxicity Due to Chemotherapy, run by Xijing Hospital 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 10 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 15 May 2012. 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.

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 LIU WENCHAO, professor (029-84775407, liuch@FMMU.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: one year). 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 May 2012.
