Trial summary

Pemetrexed is used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Its elimination is mainly renal and its nephrotoxicity requires an interruption of treatment when the CrCLCG falls below 45 mL / min. Patients with NSCLC frequently have impaired renal function by other cytotoxic drugs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pemetrexed in Maintenance in Patients With Impaired Renal Function: Randomized Phase 4 Multicenter Study Comparing 2 Dose Calculation Strategies (PKAPIR)

Pemetrexed is used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Its elimination is mainly renal and its nephrotoxicity requires an interruption of treatment when the CrCLCG falls below 45 mL / min. Patients with NSCLC frequently have impaired renal function by other cytotoxic drugs.

The dose adjustment of pemetrexed is performed as a function of body surface area (SC) without any pharmacokinetic rational. The challenge is to treat patients with renal insufficiency (RR) with a safe dose, based on CRCL, providing equivalent biological exposure to patients with preserved renal function.

Read the detailed description
  • Primary objective: Evaluate the impact of calculating the dose of pemetrexed to be administered versus creatine clearance according to Cockcroft-Gault (CrCLCG) versus body surface area (SC) on median time before discontinuation of treatment for renal function ≤ 45mL / min in patients treated for non-small cell lung cancer predominantly non-squamous in maintenance.
  • Secondary objective: To evaluate the impact of calculating the dose of pemetrexed to be administered versus CRCLCG versus SC over time to treatment discontinuation, progression-free survival (PFS), and patient overall survival.

What is being measured

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

  1. Median time until treatment is stopped due to renal function ≤ 45mL / min

    From date of randomization until the date of treatment is stopped

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression-free survival

    From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause

    Measured: up to 100 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pemetrexed in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Centre Georges Francois Leclerc at 3 sites in France.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 24 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Median time until treatment is stopped due to renal function ≤ 45mL / min (time frame: 1 year). 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 May 2021.
