Trial summary

Apatinib has been approved as a second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Several phase III clinical studies of non small cell lung cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer and other tumors also showed apatinib has less toxic side effects and better patient tolerance.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Study of Apatinib as the Maintenance Therapy for Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer After Combined With Etoposide and Cisplatin Chemotherapy

Apatinib has been approved as a second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Several phase III clinical studies of non small cell lung cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer and other tumors also showed apatinib has less toxic side effects and better patient tolerance. However, the clinical application of apatinib in small cell lung cancer is still lack of evidence-based medicine. Etoposide and cisplatin chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for small-cell lung cancer. The purpose of this multicenter, randomized, prospective study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib as the maintenance therapy for extensive stage small cell lung cancer after combined with etoposide and cisplatin chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival

    The first day of treatment to the date that disease progression is reported.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival

    The first day of treatment to death or last survival confirm date.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Tumor response rate

    The ratio between the number of responders and number of patients assessable for tumor response.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Treatment-related adverse events

    Treatment-related adverse events are assessed by common terminology criteria for adverse events(CTCAE) V4.0.

    Measured: the first date of treatment to 30 days after the last dose of study drug,assessed up to 6 months

  4. Performance Status

    Performance Status of patients will be assessed by Zubrod-Eastern cooperative oncology group(ECOG)-world health organization(WHO).

    Measured: the first date of treatment to 30 days after the last dose of study drug, assessed up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing apatinib;etoposide and cisplatin in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Third Military Medical University.

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 9 inclusion and 20 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 24 Aug 2016. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

Contact Wang Dong, PH.D. (86-23-68757151, dongwang64@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (time frame: 6 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 24 Aug 2016.
