About this study

Official title: A Two Arm Phase II Study Comparing Docetaxel/Cisplatin Induction Therapy Followed By Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Versus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Followed By Consolidation Docetaxel/Cisplatin in Patients With Locally Advanced Unresectable NSCLC (Stage IIIA-Multiple cN2 or IIIB)

Primary Objective:

  • To evaluate the toxicity/safety profile of docetaxel/cisplatin induction therapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation docetaxel/cisplatin in patients with locally advanced unresectable NSCLC (stage IIIA- multiple cN2 or IIIB).

Secondary Objective:

  • To estimate efficacy parameters in overall response rate, progression free survival and 1 year survival for each of the two above mentioned arms.

What is being measured

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

  1. anti-tumor activity including overall response rate

    Measured: assessed at the end of the full course of treatment period

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. all treatment related acute and chronic toxicity assessed according to the NCI-CTC scale

    Measured: throughout the study

  2. other adverse events not reported in the NCI-CTI scale

    Measured: throughout the study

  3. hematological and non-hematological toxicities

    Measured: reported for all grades observed during each cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel and cisplatin followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin + radiotherapy and docetaxel and cisplatin + radiotherapy followed by docetaxel and cisplatin in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by Sanofi at 8 sites in 8 countries.

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 28 inclusion and 27 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 17 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Belgium, Finland, France, Italy, Netherlands and 3 more countries. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

anti-tumor activity including overall response rate (time frame: assessed at the end of the full course of treatment period). 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 NCT00174772, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Feb 2010.
