About this study

Official title: Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With Chinese Medicine Comprehensive Treatment Plan

The purpose of this study is to observe the efficacy of chemotherapy combined with Chinese patent drugs for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, also to evaluate the adverse reaction and the reliability.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the world with about 80%-85% non small cell lung cancer.

The investigators perform a multi-center, randomized, controlled, prospective study in patients with advanced NSCLC. Patients are randomized over observational group(Chinese patent drugs plus chemotherapy), and control group (chemotherapy). The investigators will observe 2 cycles and after that regular follow-up will be arranged.

The primary end point is: Objective response rate;

The secondary end points are:

  1. progression-free survival(PFS);
  2. overall survival(OS);
  3. Time to Progression (TTP);
  4. quality of life questionnaire(QOL);
  5. other end points are: Toxicity, side effects and security of the treatments will be assessed at the same time.

The investigators expect that integrated TCM combined with chemotherapy has a better efficacy on enhancing Objective response rate,prolonging PFS, OS, improving QOL, reducing the adverse reaction of patients than that of chemotherapy.Therefore our study can provide evidences for optimizing and promoting integrated TCM combined with Western Medicine treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival

    The progression disease is assessed based on CT every 2 months from date of randomization and the endpoints is the date of first documented progression or date of death due to lung cancer.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause,up to 2 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective response rate

    Measured: up to 2 months

  2. Time-to-Progression

    Measured: up to 2 months

  3. Number of participants with treatment-related quality of life as assessed by FACT-L4.0

    Measured: 21 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing JinFuKang, XingZaoRuanJian and pemetrexed,docetaxel,gemcitabine,paclitaxel or vinorelbine combined with carboplatin、cis-platinum or nedaplatin in people with Cancer, run by Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 10 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

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?

Progression-Free Survival (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause,up to 2 months). 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 10 Oct 2017.
