About this study

Official title: Pemetrexed and Platinum Use in the Neoadjuvant Setting for Resectable Stage II and IIIA Lung Adenocarcinoma

This is a clinical trial from Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project (ECTOP), numbered as ECTOP-1002. The study is a prospective, single-center, open-label, single-armed, phase II clinical trial. The aim of the study is to evaluate the radiological response rate (RR) of 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with pemetrexed and cisplatin in patients with resectable stage II and IIIA lung adenocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

The study is a prospective, single-center, open-label, single-armed, phase II clinical trial. Clinical staging is determined according to the routine protocol, which include enhanced chest CT scans, brain MRI or CT, bone scintigraphy, abdominal ultrasonography and cardiopulmonary tests. PET/CT scan was optional. Preoperative diagnoses of lymph node metastasis were performed using enhanced chest CT or PET/CT. Preoperative pathological diagnosis is confirmed by electronic fiber bronchoscopic biopsy, CT-guided percutaneous lung puncture biopsy and endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS/EUS) when necessary.

Patients are going to receive two cycles of pemetrexed 500mg/m2 day 1 and cisplatin 75mg/m2 day 1 (or 25mg/m2 day 1-3), 21 days per cycle. Treatment cycles are repeated every 21 days. Following two cycles of chemotherapy, the same radiological examination as baseline chest CT or PET/CT scans are repeated for tumor response evaluation. Radiographic response was recorded by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). Patients undergo complete resection between 2 and 6weeks following the last dose of chemotherapy. The surgical extents left to the discretion of the general thoracic surgeon. And lobectomy and pneumonectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection are recommended. Two cycles of post-surgery pemetrexed/cisplatin treatment will be administrated subsequently.

The primary objective is to determine the radiological response rate (RR) of 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with pemetrexed and cisplatin in patients with resectable stage II and IIIA lung adenocarcinoma. The radiological response rate is measured 3 to 4 weeks after the second cycle of chemotherapy according to the RECIST criteria 1.1.

The secondary objectives are to determine the pathological response rate, safety, the clinical feasibility rate, the drug delivery, 2-year disease free survival (DFS) and 2-year overall survival (OS).The pathological response rate is investigated by determination of the type and extent of vital tumor tissue and tumor necroses as well as reactive alterations with foam cell reaction and fibrosis or scar formation on light microscopic evaluation of surgical resection specimens stained with H\&E.The clinical feasibility is achieved if 1) no death due to cancer, toxicity or comorbidity,and 2) no toxicity events including Grade 4 neutropenia >7 days; febrile grade 3/4 neutropenia; grade 4 thrombocytopenia >7 days or any grade with bleeding; grade 3/4 nonhematologic toxicity related to chemotherapy (except nausea/vomiting/hair loss) are observed. The drug delivery is defined as the accomplishment of the chemotherapy.DFS is measured from the date of operation until the date of first progression or recurrence. OS is measured from the date of operation until the date of death from NSCLC or the date last seen alive.

  • PemetrexedDrug

    Also called Neoadjuvant chemotherapy

    Two cycles of pemetrexed 500mg/m2 day 1, 21 days per cycle for patients before surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. radiological response rate

    Three to four weeks after the first cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the same radiological examination as baseline chest CT or PET/CT scans are repeated for tumor response evaluation. Radiographic response was recorded by RECIST 1.1.

    Measured: Three to four weeks after the second cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Adverse Events of chemotherapy

    1. death due to cancer, toxicity or comorbidity,and 2) toxicity events including Grade 4 neutropenia >7 days; febrile grade 3/4 neutropenia; grade 4 thrombocytopenia >7 days or any grade with bleeding; grade 3/4 nonhematologic toxicity related to chemotherapy (except nausea/vomiting/hair loss)

    Measured: ten months after neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pemetrexed and Cisplatin in people with Lung Adenocarcinoma, run by Fudan University 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 12 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2023. 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?

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?

radiological response rate (time frame: Three to four weeks after the second cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy). 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 20 Jul 2023.
