About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Phase II Trial of Pemetrexed Plus Carboplatin With or Without Apatinib in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Without EGFR Mutation, ALK Gene Rearrangement, and ROS1 Gene Rearrangement

The purpose of this study is to studying the addition of apatinib with chemotherapy to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

Platinum-based chemotherapy is the recommended therapeutic approach for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without EGFR mutation, ALK gene rearrangement, and ROS1 gene rearrangement. However, the prognosis of advanced NSCLC remains poor. Apatinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2. Apatinib has been proved to be effective and safe in heavily pretreated patients with gastric cancer. This study is to studying the addition of apatinib with chemotherapy to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Overall survival was assessed from randomization to death as a result of any cause.

    Measured: 1 year after the last patient is randomized

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Disease-free survival

    Disease-free survival was assessed from randomization to disease recurrence or death as a result of any cause.

    Measured: 1 year after the last patient is randomized

  2. Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    To assess if the addition of apatinib to chemotherapy is safe.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Apatinib, Pemetrexed and Carboplatin in people with Lung Cancer, run by Sun Yat-sen 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 10 inclusion and 11 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2024. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Overall survival (time frame: 1 year after the last patient is randomized). 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 10 Dec 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
