What participants receive

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

  • Impact® Advanced RecoveryDietary supplement

    Also called Nutritional supplement

    The control supplement drink Boost® will be ingested every two weeks since usually chemotherapy is delivered concurrently with radiation therapy in 2 week cycles. For patients who are placed on weekly or every 4 weeks chemotherapy dosing schedules, the treatment and control supplements will still be given every two weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Treatment Related Adverse Events Per Study Arm

    Overall toxicity from therapy as assessed by NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 5.0 that directly correlates with toxicity from concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Based on another randomized trial using pretreatment immunonutrition, investigators want to see if this nutritional intervention will likely decrease overall chemoradiotherapy related toxicity. All toxicity and adverse events (CTCAE v.5.0) will be assessed weekly and attributed by the treating radiation oncologist and entered into the clinical trials management database OnCore for later statistical analysis. Differences in toxicity events at the end of the study in participants receiving Impact® and those receiving Boost® will be compared using two-sample t-test.

    Measured: Up to 48 months

  2. Change in Plasma Levels of IL-6 Per Study Arm

    Measurement of the marked change of IL-6 that directly correlates with toxicity from concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Multiplex immunoassay will be used to determine the plasma levels of IL-6 in pg/ml as a continuous variable. Two-sample t-test for change in IL-6 at the last visit from the baseline will be compared between the two arms. Kolmogorove-Smirnov and Jarque-Bera tests will be performed to test for normality assumption on the primary endpoints prior to t-test analysis. If either test indicates a violation of the normality assumption, investigators will use an appropriate rank-based Wilcoxon rank-sum test instead of t-test.

    Measured: Up to 48 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival (OS) 9OS)

    Overall survival (OS) defined as the length of time interval between the date of cancer treatment completion and the date of death due to any cause. Kaplan-Meier curves will be estimated for each arm. Log-rank test will be performed to examine the effect of Impact® vs. Boost® on measures of OS.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS) will be assessed using the length of time interval from the cancer treatment completion to the earlier of the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause. Kaplan-Meier curves will be estimated for each arm. Log-rank test will be performed to examine the effect of Impact® vs. Boost® on measures of PFS.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Rate of Treatment Changes or Interruptions Per Study Arm

    Treatment interruptions, chemotherapy dose reduction or hospitalizations secondary to toxicity.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Rate of Participant Regimen Compliance Per Study Arm

    Rate of participant compliance, with immunonutrition regimen, according to participant diaries. Each participant will complete a compliance diary noting when each carton/bottle of the study agent is drunk and the card will be collected by the Study Coordinator at on treatment clinic visits (OTV) prior to receiving the new batch of study or control supplements.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Impact® Advanced Recovery, Boost® High Protein and Radiation Therapy in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and NSCLC, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 12 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 Sep 2020. 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 United States. 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?

Incidence of Treatment Related Adverse Events Per Study Arm (time frame: Up to 48 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Sep 2020.
