About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Randomised Study of Multi-Cycle, Dose Intensive Carboplatin/Paclitaxel With Pegfilgrastim Supported by Haematopoietic Progenitor Cell Re-Infusion in Whole Blood

The purpose of this study is to provide dose-finding information regarding the efficacy and kinetics of peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) mobilisation by pegfilgrastim and to determine if carboplatin/paclitaxel can be delivered at a reduced cycle interval when supported by pegfilgrastim-mobilised PBPCs in whole blood.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboplatin, paclitaxel and pegfilgrastim in people with Breast Cancer and Lung Cancer, run by Amgen.

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 13 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PBPC mobilization profiles and success rate of achieving planned chemotherapy administration on time. (time frame: Cycle 0, and through 4 cycles). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00117442, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 13 May 2013.
