About this study

Official title: Optimization for the Treatment of Advanced Pulmonary Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma: a Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Phase 2 Study

The primary endpoint is to compare the PFS (progress-free survival ) of etoposide plus carboplatin with paclitaxel combined with carboplatin as first-line treatment for advanced pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint is to compare the PFS (progress-free survival ) of etoposide plus carboplatin with paclitaxel combined with carboplatin as first-line treatment for advanced pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.

In addition, gene spectrum detection and Mini-PDX are applied for validation of pharmacodynamic.

Results of clinical trials and pharmacodynamic test will be analyzed to provide evidence for the precise treatment for LCNEC.

Being tested
etoposide plus carboplatin, Paclitaxel plus carboplatin

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • etoposide plus carboplatinDrug

    Also called VP-16

    etoposide is administered by venus with a dose of 100mg/m2 from day 1 to3, and carboplatin is administered by venus with a dose of AUC 5 on day 1 in a 21-day cycle.

  • Paclitaxel plus carboplatinDrug

    Also called Taxol

    Paclitaxel is administered by venus with a dose of 175 mg/m2 from day 1 and carboplatin is administered by venus with a dose of AUC 5 on day 1 in a 21-day cycle.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing etoposide plus carboplatin and Paclitaxel plus carboplatin in people with Pulmonary Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma, run by Shanghai Chest Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 Oct 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. 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 Zhen Zhou, MD (jenniferzhou1116@163.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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02943798, 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 25 Oct 2016.
