Trial summary

Dose-dense chemotherapy is a chemotherapy treatment plan in which drugs are given with less time between treatments than in standard chemotherapy. The two chemotherapy drugs used in this study, docetaxel and cisplatin, are approved for the treatment of lung cancer when given every 21 days. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Dose-Dense Induction/Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Patients With Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Additional Genomic Analyses to Identify Signatures Predictive of Chemotherapy Response.

Dose-dense chemotherapy is a chemotherapy treatment plan in which drugs are given with less time between treatments than in standard chemotherapy. The two chemotherapy drugs used in this study, docetaxel and cisplatin, are approved for the treatment of lung cancer when given every 21 days. This study is exploring the response to chemotherapy when these drugs are given every 14 days. In addition, genetic tests will be performed on pre-treatment specimens to identify signatures that may predict chemotherapy sensitivity or resistance.

Read the detailed description

All patients will receive induction chemotherapy with cisplatin and docetaxel. Pegfilgrastim will be administered approximately 24 hours following the end of the day 1 chemotherapy infusion. Cycles will be repeated every 2 weeks for 3 cycles. Patients deemed to be resectable will undergo surgical resection followed by postoperative thoracic radiotherapy. Patients deemed inoperable will additionally receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Response, using radiographic and/or pathologic means, will identify two cohorts; responders and nonresponders.Gene expression profiling will then be performed on pre-treatment specimens to identify signatures that predict for chemotherapy sensitivity or resistance.

The target enrollment is 45 patients.

Receives: Drug: cisplatin; Drug: Docetaxel; Drug: Pegfilgrastim

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Induction Response

    Response will be assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Response is defined as the number patients with a Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions, or a Partial Response (PR), at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions.

    Measured: Between 2 and 3 weeks after induction

  2. Differential Gene Expression Between Responsive and Resistant Tumor Treated With Dose-dense Therapy

    Measured: at the end of the study, estimated 2.5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Grade III/IV Hematologic Adverse Events

    Measured: During induction chemotherapy, approximately 6 weeks

  2. Number of Grade III/IV Non-hematologic Adverse Events

    Measured: During induction chemotherapy, approximately 6 weeks

  3. Number of Patients Who Were Able to Maintain Hemoglobin Between 11-13 g/dL During Induction

    Measured: During induction, approximately 6 weeks

  4. Overall Survival

    Measured: Approximately 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, Docetaxel and Pegfilgrastim in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 17 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jul 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jul 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Induction Response (time frame: Between 2 and 3 weeks after induction). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Jul 2014.
