What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Clinical Response Rate

    Overall response rate was defined as the proportion of treated patients whose best response was a complete or partial response after completing at least two courses of treatment.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression free survival was defined as the interval between the start date of treatment and the date of occurrence of progressive disase or death from any cause.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Response Duration

    The Response Duration was calculated from time of initial measured response to date of first observation of progressive disease.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine, Docetaxel and Cetuximab in people with Lung Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 10 sites 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 9 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 13 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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?

Overall Clinical 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00193453, 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 13 Nov 2012.
