Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which docetaxel regimen is more effective for non-small cell lung cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized Phase II Study of Two Schedules of Taxotere (Weekly Versus Every 3 Weeks) in Elderly or Poor Performance (ECOG PS 2), Chemotherapy-Naive Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which docetaxel regimen is more effective for non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of docetaxel in treating patients who have not previously received chemotherapy for unresectable stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the effects of two different schedules of docetaxel on the incidence of grade 3 and 4 toxic effects in older or poor performance chemotherapy-naïve patients with unresectable stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Secondary

  • Compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the response rate in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the incidence of serious adverse events in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Determine the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Arm II: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, every 2 courses during study treatment, and then at study completion.

Patients are followed at 1 month and then every 2-3 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 210-230 patients (105-115 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel in people with Lung Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center 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?

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 16 Jan 2014. 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 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.

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 16 Jan 2014.
