About this study

Official title: Molecular Profiling and Safety Study of Operable Lung Cancer Patients Treated With Alimta Combined With Cisplatin as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

The main purpose of this study of pemetrexed combined with cisplatin used as neoadjuvant chemotherapy (2 or 3 cycles) in participants with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is to look at various genes present in participants' blood and tumor tissue to see if there is any link between the levels or changes in the genes and how participants with lung cancer respond to pemetrexed and cisplatin treatment.

Being tested
pemetrexed, cisplatin, Radical Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) surgery
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Carcinoma

What participants receive

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

  • pemetrexedDrug

    Also called LY231514, Alimta

    500 mg/m^2 IV q 21 days for 3 cycles unless disease progression occurs

  • Radical Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) surgeryProcedure or surgery

    All participants proceeded to surgery within 4-8 weeks from the last dose of pemetrexed.

What is being measured

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

  1. High/Low Expression of Selected Molecular Markers in Tumor Tissues and Hypermethylated Genes in Peripheral Blood

    Molecular markers assessed by immunohistochemistry: thymidylate synthase, glycinamide ribonucleotide formyl transferase (GARFT), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR); and by polymerase chain reaction: dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS), reduced folate carrier, alpha folate receptor, Excision Repair Cross-Complementation Group 1 (ERCC1), folylpolyglutamate hydrolase (FPGH). Hypermethylated genes assessed by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. Due to small sample size, tumor-tissue analyses were not done.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 2, and surgery (4-8 weeks after last dose of pemetrexed)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Objective Tumor Response (Response Rate)

    Tumor response to treatment using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD)=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD)=small changes that do not meet above criteria. Response rate was estimated as the total number of CR or PR, divided by the total number of participants treated.

    Measured: Treatment start to disease progression or surgery (4-8 weeks after last dose of pemetrexed)

  2. Duration of Response

    The duration of response was defined as the time from complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to disease progression. Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD)=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: Time of response to disease progression (up to 44.4 months)

  3. Disease Free Survival (DFS)

    DFS was the time from date of first dose to first observation of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause. PD=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. If a participant was not known to have died or have PD, DFS was censored at the date of the last objective progression-free disease assessment.

    Measured: Treatment start to disease progression or death from any cause (up to 45.5 months)

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from treatment start to death from any cause. For participants who were alive, OS was censored at the last contact date.

    Measured: Treatment start to death from any cause (up to 47.6 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pemetrexed, cisplatin and Radical Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) surgery in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Carcinoma, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 3 sites in Poland.

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 5 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 21 Oct 2011. 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 Poland. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Apr 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

High/Low Expression of Selected Molecular Markers in Tumor Tissues and Hypermethylated Genes in Peripheral Blood (time frame: Baseline, Cycle 2, and surgery (4-8 weeks after last dose of pemetrexed)). 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 21 Oct 2011.
