About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Phase II Study of Carboplatin Plus Gemcitabine Followed by Concomitant Chemoradiation in Patients With Non-resectable Stage III Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether by combining a carboplatin-gemcitabine based induction chemotherapy with weekly cisplatin during standard thoracic radiotherapy it is possible to obtain optimal efficacy with minimal toxicity. Patients will be treated with 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy, unless there is the occurrence of early intrathoracic progression of disease. The induction chemotherapy is then to be followed by chemo-radiotherapy.

Being tested
carboplatin/gemcitabine, cisplatin/radiation therapy
Keywords
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, NSCLC, Chemoradiation, lung cancer, induction chemotherapy, chemo-radiotherapy
Medical subject headings

  1. 2-year survival rates

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Response rate

  2. Time to intrathoracic failure

  3. Overall survival

  4. Toxicity of induction chemotherapy

  5. Toxicity of chemo-radiotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboplatin/gemcitabine and cisplatin/radiation therapy in people with Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer, run by University Hospital, Antwerp at 3 sites in Belgium.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 12 Jul 2013. 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 Belgium. 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?

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?

2-year survival rates. 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 12 Jul 2013.
