What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Local control rate

    Measured: 3 years

  3. The short-term quality of life (QOL) assessed using FACT-E score

    FACT-E score at the 4 months after docetaxel consolidation therapy

    Measured: 4 months

  4. Rate of CTCAE grade 2 or higher radiation pneumonitis

    The investigators will assess the rate of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis in patients who received the radiation therapy

    Measured: 1 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pemetrexed, cisplatin and thoracic radiation therapy in people with Squamous Cell Lung Cancer, run by First People's Hospital of Hangzhou 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 10 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 25 Nov 2016. 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. 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 Shenglin Ma, MD (0571-56007908 ext. 086, mashenglin@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate (time frame: 3 years). 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 25 Nov 2016.
