What is being measured

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

  1. Antitumour Activity Defined as Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Defined as the time from the date of randomization until disease progression, or death due to any cause or the last patient was known to be alive. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (Recist v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition the appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 150 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Tumor Growth Control Rate (TGCR)

    evaluated according to Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST V1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI:

    • Complete Response (CR):Disappearance of all target lesions
    • Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the base line sum LD
    • Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

    Measured: Assessed every 6-12 weeks, up to 150 weeks

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival was defined as the time from the baseline CT scan to death due to any cause, or the last date the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 years

  3. Experimental Imaging Study (DCE-MRI)

    To document possible modifications on vessels permeability by imaging techniques

    Measured: during the study

  4. Number of Adverse Events, Reported by Severity and Relation to Treatment

    Evaluation according to NCI common terminology criteria for adverse events (version 3.0)

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NGR-hTNF and Doxorubicin in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AGC Biologics S.p.A. at 5 sites in Italy.

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 15 inclusion and 13 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 4 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Italy. 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 4 Oct 2019). 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?

Antitumour Activity Defined as Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 150 weeks). 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 NCT00483509, 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 4 Oct 2019.
