About this study

Official title: A Non-interventional Study for Evaluation of the Clinical Treatment and Patient Values and Preferences of Patients Suffering From Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Undergoing Chemotherapy. With Special Focus on Patients Who Are in Transition From First Line to Second Line Treatment

The main purpose of this study is the identification, description, and segmentation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients based on their value appraisal of treatment outcomes and all intermediate states of health, to obtain patient preferences in direct correlation with clinical data from patients suffering from NSCLC (stage IIIB / IV) who are in transition from 1st to 2nd line treatment, and to gain utility scores by health state derived from patients' perceived value and taken from their perspective.

What is being measured

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

  1. To obtain patient preferences in direct correlation with clinical data from patients suffering from NSCLC stage IIb/IV who are in transition from 1st line to 2nd line treatment

    Measured: once only, 4-6 weeks after switch from 1st to 2nd line chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. current medical practice treatment objectives and modalities side effects

    Measured: once only, 4-6 weeks after switch from 1st to 2nd line chemotherapy

  2. socioeconomic status and demographics patients' perception of their health status and treatment patient values and patient preferences

    Measured: once only, 4-6 weeks after switch from 1st to 2nd line chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 8 sites in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 lists 8 sites in Germany. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low Recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To obtain patient preferences in direct correlation with clinical data from patients suffering from NSCLC stage IIb/IV who are in transition from 1st line to 2nd line treatment (time frame: once only, 4-6 weeks after switch from 1st to 2nd line chemotherapy). 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 10 Dec 2010.
