About this study
Official title: Boanmycin Hydrochloride for Injection in Combination With Docetaxel for Patients With Advanced Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma as Salvage Chemotherapy: a Prospective, Randomized, Parallel and Controlled Clinical Trial
This predictive, randomized, double-blind, multi-center trial is going to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two regimens of boanmycin plus docetaxel versus docetaxel alone as a second line treatment for chemotherapy for stage IIIb-IV or postoperative recurrent squamous cell lung cancer patients.
Read the detailed description
At present, there is no reliable second line treatment except chemotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma patients, the current chemotherapy regimen, including docetaxel as a single agent which is known as the gold standard, the weekly using of docetaxel and the combination of EGFR-TKI has few evidence for high response rates and prolonged survival.On the other hand, the adverse reaction of chemotherapy makes the combined chemotherapy cannot improve therapeutic effects. Boanmycin with special pharmacological basis, as well as the high purity, may not obvious increase in adverse reactions, and probably improve the effect of chemotherapy. At the same time, because of its low lung toxicity, especially in the combined use of corticosteroids, and in the background of the poor survival of advanced squamous cell lung cancer patients, the chemotherapy regimen of boanmycin plus docetaxel needs to be investigated.
This predictive, randomized, double-blind, multi-center trial is going to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two regimens of boanmycin plus docetaxel versus docetaxel alone as a second line treatment for chemotherapy for stage IIIb-IV or postoperative recurrent squamous cell lung cancer patients.
According to the test center, gender, disease staging (stage IIIB, IV/recurrence) and pathologic types, patients with squamous cell lung cancer were stratified and then randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the first group, 75 mg of docetaxel per square meter of body-surface area, administered on day 1, followed by 5~6 mg boanmycin of per square meter and 5mg dexamethasone on days 3,5,10 and 12, the cycle was repeated every 21days. The second group received the reference treatment: docetaxel at a dose of 75 mg per square meter was administered on on day 1 of a three-week cycle. The efficacy was evaluated using RESIST standard after every 2 cycles of the treatment, the regimen will continue until the disease progression or the appearance of not tolerable toxicity.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Boanmycin and Docetaxel in people with Squamous Cell Lung Cancer, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and 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 7 inclusion and 15 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 22 Dec 2015. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Peng Chen, M.D. (+86-13702152241, chenpengdoc@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
disease free survival (time frame: 1.5 years). 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 NCT01660399, which also lists 11 linked publications.
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 22 Dec 2015.
