About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Preoperative (Neo-adjuvant) Therapy in Patients With Stages IB, II, IIIA, and Selected IIIB Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This trial is designed to study the role of docetaxel/gemcitabine, an active and relatively non-toxic combination in advanced NSCLC. This study will help to better define optimal preoperative regimens for patients with resectable NSCLC. Since both of these drugs are potent radio-sensitizers, the concurrent use with radiation therapy at these weekly doses may produce not only radio-sensitization, but also considerable antitumor efficacy.

Read the detailed description

Upon determination of eligibility, patients will receive:

Pre-operative

  • Docetaxel
  • Gemcitabine Post-operative
  • Docetaxel
  • Carboplatin
  • Radiation Therapy

Patients with stage IB and II NSCLC who achieved clear margins will not receive any further therapy. Patients with incomplete resection, resection margins of a T3 tumor that are positive or close, stage IIIA AND IIIB NSCLC or disease judged unresectable after preoperative chemotherapy will receive postoperative treatment

Study groups in NCT00193427
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
InterventionExperimentalPatients with potentially resectable clinical stage IB, II, and selected III NSCLC received gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 days 1, 8 and docetaxel 30 mg/m2 days 1, 8 every 21 days for 3 cycles. Patients were restaged after treatment and resected 3-6 weeks later. If patients were inoperable, had incomplete resections or N2 disease, docetaxel 20 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC = 1.5 weekly x 7 and radiation to 63 Gy was administered

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathologic Complete Response Rate

    A pathological complete response (pCR) was defined as having no residual cancer at the primary site or in regional lymph nodes on pathologic review.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival was calculated as the elapsed time between the date of study registration and the date of recurrence or death from any cause.

    Measured: 19 months

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Overall response rate is the percentage of patients with complete response or partial response per RECIST v.1 Criteria. Complete response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all nontarget lesions for at least 4 weeks. Partial Response (PR) = At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters.

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival was calculated as the elapsed time bewteen date of study registration and the date of death.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel, Gemcitabine and Carboplatin in people with Lung Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC 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 11 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 3 Mar 2022. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Nov 2012). 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?

Pathologic Complete Response Rate (time frame: 18 months). 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 3 Mar 2022.
