About this study

Official title: A Clincal Trial of Apatinib Mesylate and Etoposide(VP-16) as the Maintenance Therapy in Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer After First-line Chemotherapy

Although fist-line therapy with Cisplatin and etoposide(EP)or Carboplatin and etoposide(CE) has been given, patients with extensive small cell lung cancer(ED-SCLC) still relapse and the 2-year survival is extremely low. There is no standard maintenance treatment recommendation for ED-SCLC patients after the first-line therapy.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,so this clinical trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combine with etoposide as maintenance therapy in ED-SCLC patients after first-line chemotherapy in our center.

What participants receive

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

  • Apatinib, EtoposideDrug

    Also called VP-16

    Patients receive etoposide 50mg from day 1 to day 14 and apatinib 250mg/d from day 1 to day 21, repeated every 21 days until progressive Disease(PD) .

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: up to 24 months

  2. Duration of Response

    Duration of response is defined as time from the date of the first observed hematologic improvement to the date of the first subsequent documented disease progression or relapse

    Measured: up to 24 months

  3. Tumor response rate

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

    Measured: Time Frame: 3 month

  4. Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaire

    in cancer patients and survivors with dermatologic conditions. This is a nontherapeutic and nondiagnostic protocol to obtain quality of life assessments from cancer patients and survivors who have dermatologic conditions, whether related to cancer therapies, or directly related to the primary cancer diagnosis. Data will be collected by using one or more dermatology-specific QoL instruments based on the underlying skin condition/s.

    Measured: up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Apatinib, Etoposide in people with Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer and Lung Cancer, run by Sichuan Cancer Hospital and Research Institute 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 7 Dec 2017. 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 Xionghong Cai, Doctor (8618036672884, xionghong_cai@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 7 Dec 2017.
