What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival (OS)

    The primary efficacy endpoint is the OS which is defined as the time interval starting with the randomization and lasting until death (=event) or until the date of last information available from the patient.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. OS1

    The secondary efficacy endpoint OS1 is defined as the time interval starting at the first cycle of induction therapy and lasting until death (=event) or until the date of last information available from the patient.

    OS1 will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier estimates. The comparison between the treatment groups will be performed using the log-rank test with a significance level of α = 2.5% for the 1-sided test. The OS1 will be presented as Kaplan-Meier figures also.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MGN1703 in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Mologen AG at 4 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Spain. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Overall survival (OS) (time frame: 24 months). 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 NCT02200081, 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 15 Nov 2018.
