Women of childbearing potential must have documentation of a negative, serum HCG pregnancy test. Subjects must be made aware, before entering this trial, of the risk in becoming pregnant or in fathering children.
  • Signed written informed consent (approved by the Ethics Committee) obtained prior to study entry.

Who cannot join

  • Limited disease.
  • Symptomatic brain metastases: a patient with brain and/or leptomeningeal metastases on computer tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan may be included only if he/she is asymptomatic on neurologic exam and is not receiving corticosteroid therapy to control symptoms.
  • Concurrent active cancer, including cancer stable on adjuvant therapy.
  • Prior immunotherapy, biological therapy or chemotherapy for SCLC.
  • Radiotherapy: Prior radiation to non-symptomatic or non-life-threatening sites.Prior radiation therapy to all potential indicator lesions. Prior radiation therapy to some but not all indicator lesions is allowed.
  • Class III or IV congestive heart failure according to the New York Heart Association Classification.

  • History of allergic reactions to appropriate diuretics or antiemetics (e.g., 5-HT3 antagonists) to be administered in conjunction with protocol-directed chemotherapy.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness.

About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Randomized, Phase II-III Maintenance Study of SR48692 Versus Placebo in Patients With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Following a First Line Chemotherapy With Cisplatin + Etoposide

To demonstrate an increase in overall survival for patients with newly diagnosed extended stage small cell lung cancer when treated with SR48692 versus placebo, after an initial response (complete or partial response or stable) to first line cisplatin plus etoposide.

Primary objective: comparison of overall survival between patients in the control arm and the meclinertant arm.

Secondary objectives: comparison of the progression free survival, the time to progression, the clinical benefit, the quality of life, the toxicity and safety between patients in the control arm and the meclinertant arm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing SR48692 in people with Lung Cancer and Pulmonary Neoplasms, run by Sanofi at 14 sites in 14 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 13 inclusion and 10 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 23 Dec 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, France and 9 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

- Overall survival (OS). 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 23 Dec 2008.
