What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival in the Subgroup of Participants With βIII-tubulin Positive Tumors

    Progression-free survival is defined as the period from date of randomization to date of disease progression or death. For participants who do not progress or die at the end of the study, progression-free survival was censored at the last tumor assessment date. For those who have no on-study tumor assessment, progression-free survival was censored at the date of randomization. A tumor was considered to be beta III (βIII)-tubulin positive if 50% or more of the tumor cells had a βIII-tubulin immunohistochemistry staining intensity equal to or greater than that of the positive control.

    Measured: Randomization to disease progression or death (maximum reached: 14.39 months )

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Progression-free Survival in the Subgroup of Participants With βIII-tubulin Negative Tumors

    Progression-free survival is defined as the period from date of randomization to date of disease progression or death. For participants who do not progress or die at the end of the study, progression-free survival was censored at the last tumor assessment date. For those who have no on study tumor assessment, progression-free survival was censored at the date of randomization.

    Measured: Randomization to disease progression or death (maximum reached: 12.29 months)

  2. Progression-free Survival in the Overall Population

    Progression-free survival is defined as the period from date of randomization to date of disease progression or death. For participants who do not progress or die at the end of the study, progression-free survival was censored at the last tumor assessment date. For those who have no on study tumor assessment, progression-free survival was censored at the date of randomization.

    Measured: Randomization to disease progression or death, assessed to 12.29 months

  3. Percentage of Participants With Best Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)

    Response evaluated per Response Evaluaton in Solid Tumor (V1.0) guidelines and assessed using magnetic resonance imaging. Percentage of best response=the total number of participants with the best overall response of CR or PR divided by the total number of randomized participants in that treatment arm. CR=disappearance of all target lesions; PR=at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Measured: At randomization and then every 6 weeks to date of CR, PR, or progression for 6 21-day cycles

  4. Time to Response

    Time to Response is defined as the time from randomization date until the date of first response (Partial Response [PR] or Complete Response [CR])

    Measured: Randomization to date of first response (PR or CR)

  5. Number of Participants With Death as Outcome, Drug-related Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs (SAEs), Drug-related SAEs, AEs Leading to Discontinuation, and Drug-related Peripheral Neuropathy

    An AE is any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE is any unfavorable medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency or abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Drug-related is defined as possibly, probably, or certainly related to and of unknown relationship to study treatment.

    Measured: Days 1 through 21, continuously

  6. Number of Participants With Hematology Laboratory Results of Grade 3 or 4

    LLN=lower level of normal. Leukocytes (leukopenia) Grade 1: <LLN to 3.0*10^9/L, Grade 2:<3.0 to 2.0*10^9/L, Grade 3: <2.0 to 1.0*10^9/L, Grade 4: <1.0*10^9/L; Neutrophils (neutropenia) Grade 1: <LLN to 1.5*10^9/L, Grade 2: <1.5 to 1.0*10^9/L, Grade 3: <1.0 to 0.5*10^9/L, Grade 4: <0.5*10^9/L; Platelet count(thrombocytopenia) Grade 1: LLN to 75.0*10^9/L, Grade 2: <75.0 to 50.0*10^9/L, Grade 3: <50.0 to 25.0*10^9/L, Grade 4:<25.0 to 10^9/L; Hemoglobin (anemia) Grade 1: <LLN to 10.0 g/dL, Grade 2: <10.0 to 8.0 g/dL, Grade 3: <8.0 to 6.5 g/dL, Grade 4: <6.5 g/dL.

    Measured: At screening and weekly during 21-day cycle

  7. Number of Participants With Grade 3 or 4 Abnormalities in Liver Function and Urine Laboratory Test Results

    ULN=upper level of normal. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) Gr 1:>ULN to 2.5*ULN, Gr 2: >2.5 to 5.0*ULN, Gr 3: >5.0 to 20.0*ULN, Gr 4: >20.0*ULN; Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) Gr 1: >ULN to 2.5*ULN, Gr 2: >2.5 to 5.0*ULN, Gr 3: >5.0 to 20.0*ULN, Gr 4: >20.0*ULN

    Measured: At screening and within 72 hours of start of 21-day cycle (Cycle 2 and beyond)

  8. Median Length of Survival in the Overall Population and in the Subgroups of Patients With βIII-tubulin Positive (β3T+) and βIII-tubulin Negative (β3T-)Tumors

    Overall Survival was computed for all randomized participants and was defined as the time between randomization and death. Participants who did not die at the end of the study were censored at their last known alive date.

    Measured: Randomization to death or last known alive date, up to 31.34 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ixabepilone, 32 mg/m^2, Paclitaxel, 200 mg/m^2 and Carboplatin (area under the concentration curve [AUC] 6) in people with Advanced/Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by R-Pharm at 33 sites in 10 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 28 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in Russia, Italy, South Korea, Argentina, Australia and 5 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 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 17 Oct 2011). 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?

Progression-free Survival in the Subgroup of Participants With βIII-tubulin Positive Tumors (time frame: Randomization to disease progression or death (maximum reached: 14.39 months )). 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 NCT00723957, 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 28 Oct 2020.
