Trial summary

Concurrent chemoradiation (ChRT) is a standard care for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with good performance status, and cisplatin/etoposide (EP) regimen is one of the most commonly used regimens. However, the prognosis of these patients is still rather poor. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Cisplatin/Etoposide and Concurrent Radiotherapy With or Without Celecoxib in Patients With Unresectable Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Concurrent chemoradiation (ChRT) is a standard care for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with good performance status, and cisplatin/etoposide (EP) regimen is one of the most commonly used regimens. However, the prognosis of these patients is still rather poor. It has been demonstrated that Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. Selective (COX)-2 inhibitors can promote chemosensitivity and radiosensitivity of tumor cells in preclinical trials.

This is a single-institution, open-label, randomized phase II trial of celecoxib administered concurrently with cisplatin, etoposide, and radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced NSCLC, to determine the feasibility, activity, and toxicity of this combination on unresectable NSCLC, and further to examine biomarkers to predict response to the treatment.

Read the detailed description

Celecoxib is a non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDS) Recent studies have shown that celecoxib has antitumor activity, and may increase the tumor sensitivity to radiation. Furthermore, evidence has shown the safety and efficiency of celecoxib in some phase I/II studies. The purposes of this study are to examine the effects of a new combination of celecoxib (Celebrex®) and cisplatin/etoposide (EP regimen), with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy on unresectable stage III NSCLC patients; and to examine biomarkers to predict response to the treatment. Because of poor survival of patients with unresected locally advanced NSCLC, the efficiency of celecoxib plus concurrent EP chemoradiotherapy need to be further investigated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Celecoxib in people with Lung Cancer, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences at 2 sites 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 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 4 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Contact Jun Liang, Doctor (8610-87788503, lj139117@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall survival (time frame: 3 year overall survival). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01503385, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Jan 2012.
