Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving carboplatin together with docetaxel after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial Exploring the Feasibility of Adjuvant Carboplatin/Docetaxel in Curatively Resected Stage I-IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving carboplatin together with docetaxel after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin together with docetaxel works in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Evaluate the feasibility of adjuvant carboplatin and docetaxel in patients with resected stage I, II, or IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.

Secondary

  • Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the survival patterns of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Assess the patterns of recurrence in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive carboplatin IV on day 1 and docetaxel IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

What participants receive

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

  • carboplatinDrug

    Also called paraplatin

    Carboplatin will be given intravenously,once,every 3 weeks. The carboplatin area under curve (AUC) dose will be calculated using the Calvert Equation 19 as follows: Carboplatin dose (mg) = 6x (GFR + 25)

  • docetaxelDrug

    Also called Taxotere

    75 mg/m² intravenously, once, every 3 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Completed Four Cycles of the Carboplatin/Docetaxel Regimen

    Feasibility was based on the percentage of patients completing four cycles of the carboplatin/docetaxel regimen to a high fraction of patients with curatively resected stage IIIIA non-small cell lung cancer within 12 weeks.

    Measured: 12 weeks from initiating adjuvant therapy

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Patterns of Recurrence in Patients Treated With This Regimen

    Patterns were assessed with a staging chest computerized tomography (CT), bone or positron emission tomography (PET) scan and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/CT scan at recurrence.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Toxicity in Patients Treated With This Regimen

    Safety determinations are based on the rate of drug-related adverse events (AEs) reported based upon the toxicity as measured by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0).

    Measured: Day 1 of treatment to 30 days after treatment discontinuation

  3. Progression Free Survival

    Relapse-free survival rate at 18 months. Patients were determined to have progression either by radiographic and/or pathological assessment by local physician per local standard of care monitoring for disease recurrence.

    Measured: The time between the start of treatment to disease progression or death or the date of last contact, measured up to 18 months

  4. Overall Survival

    Overall survival rate at 18 months.

    Measured: The time between the start of treatment to disease progression or death or the date of last contact, measured up to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboplatin and docetaxel in people with Lung Cancer, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 17 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 11 Jul 2017. 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 12 Jun 2017). 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?

Number of Participants Who Completed Four Cycles of the Carboplatin/Docetaxel Regimen (time frame: 12 weeks from initiating adjuvant therapy). 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 NCT00280735, 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 11 Jul 2017.
