Trial summary

To date, there are no methods to reliably select which patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that benefit most from treatment with bevacizumab. Data have shown that high levels of plasma VEGF are prognostic and correlates with a worse disease outcome in some tumour types, including advanced… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Diffusion MR (dMRT) During First Line Treatment of Non Squamous Lung Cancer With Chemotherapy Combined With Bevacizumab: Time Course and Prognostic and Predictive Impact.

To date, there are no methods to reliably select which patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that benefit most from treatment with bevacizumab. Data have shown that high levels of plasma VEGF are prognostic and correlates with a worse disease outcome in some tumour types, including advanced NSCLC.

Recent data are suggestive of a predictive value of imaging techniques for early detection of antiangiogenic treatment efficacy in different cancers. To our knowledge there are no presented data available on correlation between changes in diffusion-weighted MR and response to bevacizumab treatment in lung cancer. The current study is designed as a pilot study to prospectively investigate changes in MR variables during treatment with bevacizumab and to detect signals of prognostic and/or predictive value of MR changes during treatment.

Read the detailed description

A Non Interventional, open-label, single arm, single institution pilot study. Eligible patients will be monitored by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance tomography (dMRT) during treatment with bevacizumab + chemotherapy for up to four cycles followed by bevacizumab maintenance therapy until disease progression.

Being tested
dMRT, Bevacizumab, paclitaxel and carboplatin
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dMRT, Bevacizumab and paclitaxel and carboplatin in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Karl Kölbeck at 1 site in Sweden.

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 14 inclusion and 22 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 21 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 Sweden. 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 Karl-Gustav Kölbeck, MD (+46-8-51774960, karl.kolbeck@karolinska.se), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

dMRT changes during treatment (time frame: Baseline, Day 8, Day 28, Day 92, At relapse.). 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 21 Jul 2014.
