What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) is the duration from date of randomization to date of death from any cause. Participants were censored at the date they were last known to be alive.

    Measured: Baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 37.06 months)

Secondary outcomes (27)

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) (Overall Response Rate)

    Overall Response Rate (ORR) is the number of participants with a Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) divided by the total number of randomized participants per arm, then multiplied by 100. Response is based on the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions compared to baseline or the complete disappearance of target lesions, with persistence of 1 or more nontarget lesion(s) and no new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 37.06 months)

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), and Stable Disease (SD) (Disease Control Rate)

    Disease Control Rate (DCR) is the number of participants with a Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), and Stable Disease (SD) divided by the total number of randomized participants per arm, then multiplied by 100. Response is based on the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions compared with baseline or the complete disappearance of target lesions, with persistence of 1 or more nontarget lesion(s) and no new lesions. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as at least 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions compared with the smallest sum of the longest diameter recorded since the start of treatment or the appearance of 1 or more new lesion(s). Stable Disease (SD) was defined as small changes that did not meet above criteria.

    Measured: Baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 37.06 months)

  3. Progression Free Survival Time

    Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of objective disease progression or death due to any cause. Participants were censored at date of last PFS assessment prior to the cutoff date or the date of initiation of subsequent systemic anticancer therapy, whichever was earlier.

    Measured: Baseline to measured progressive disease or date of death from any cause (up to 33.54 months)

  4. Time to Progressive Disease

    Time to progressive disease was defined as the time from randomization to the first date of objective disease progression. Participants were censored at date of last PFS assessment prior to the cutoff date or the date of initiation of subsequent systemic anticancer therapy, whichever was earlier.

    Measured: Baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 37.06 months)

  5. Safety and Toxicity Profile of Study Treatments

    Safety and toxicity profile was defined as serious and other non-serious adverse events. A summary of serious and all other non-serious adverse events is located in the Reported Adverse Event module.

    Measured: Baseline to study endpoint (up to 37.06 months)

  6. Duration of Hospitalizations Per Participant

    Length of hospitalization in participants hospitalized during the study or within 30 days of discontinuation regardless of whether the hospitalization was or was not due to study drug.

    Measured: Baseline to study endpoint (up to 37.06 months)

  7. Number of Participants Who Received a Transfusion

    Measured: Baseline to study endpoint (up to 37.06 months)

  8. Number of Participants Receiving Concomitant Medication

    Measured: Baseline to study endpoint (up to 37.06 months)

  9. Change From Baseline in Participant Reported Outcomes as Assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G)

    The FACT-G is a validated instrument used to measure quality of life (QOL) in participants with cancer consisting of the 27-item questionnaire and is organized into subscales, each designed to assess a QOL domain: physical well-being (PWB)-7 items; social/family well-being (SWB)-7 items; emotional well-being (EWB)-6 items; functional well-being (FWB)-7 items. Each item uses a 5 point rating scale (0="not at all" and 4=equals "very much"). FACT-G Total is the sum of the scores of all 4 subscales and ranges from 0 to 108. Higher scores indicate better QOL. Least squares mean (LSmean) change is calculated using the linear-mixed model (LMM) analysis controlled for treatment, baseline value, time point and treatment by time point interaction.

    Measured: Baseline, up to first 10 cycles (4 induction and 6 maintenance cycles, cycle=21 days)

  10. Change From Baseline in Participant Reported Outcomes as Assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung (FACT-L)

    FACT-L is a valid instrument used to measure quality of life (QOL) in participants with cancer consisting of the 27-item FACT-General (G) and 9-item lung cancer subscale (LCS). FACT-G is organized into subscales: physical well-being (PWB)-7 items; social/family well-being (SWB)-7 items; emotional well-being (EWB)-6 items; functional well-being (FWB)-7 items. Each item uses a 5 point rating scale (0="not at all" and 4=equals "very much"). FACT-L Total Score=4 subscales + LCS and ranges from 0 to 144. Trial Outcome Index-Lung (TOI-L)=PWB+FWB+LCS and ranges from 0 to 92. Higher scores indicate better QOL. Least squares mean (LSmean) change is calculated using the linear-mixed model (LMM) analysis controlled for treatment, baseline value, time point and treatment by time point interaction.

    Measured: Baseline, up to first 10 cycles (4 induction and 6 maintenance cycles, cycle=21 days)

  11. Change From Baseline in Participant Reported Outcomes as Assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group- Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-Ntx)

    FACT/GOG-Ntx is a validated instrument used to measure quality of life (QOL) in participants with cancer and neurotoxicity (Ntx) consisting of 27-item FACT-General (G) and 11-item Ntx subscale. FACT-G is organized into domain subscales: physical well-being (PWB)-7 items; social/family well-being (SWB)-7 items; emotional well-being (EWB)-6 items; functional well-being (FWB)-7 items; each uses a 5 point rating scale (0="not at all" and 4=equals "very much"). FACT/GOG-Ntx Total Score=sum 5 subscales and ranges from 0-152. Ntx Trial Outcome Index (TOI-Ntx)=PWB+FWB+NTX and range from 0-100. For all FACT scales, higher scores indicate better QOL. Least squares mean (LSmean) change is calculated using the linear-mixed model (LMM) analysis controlled for treatment, baseline value, time point and treatment by time point interaction.

    Measured: Baseline, up to first 10 cycles (4 induction and 6 maintenance cycles, cycle=21 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pemetrexed, Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 67 sites in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 20 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 21 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 67 sites in United States. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Nov 2013). 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?

Overall Survival (time frame: Baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 37.06 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 NCT00762034, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 21 Dec 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
