Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of adeno-, large cell or bronchioalveolar non-small cell lung cancer
  • Cytologic specimens for diagnosis or for cell type classification must have been obtained from bronchial brushings or washings or from needle aspiration of a defined lesion. Sputum cytology alone will not be acceptable for diagnosis or for cell type classification.
  • Patients with mixed NSCLC with predominantly squamous cell carcinoma should be classified as squamous and thus do not qualify for this study.

  • Small cell or carcinoid lung cancer patients are also ineligible.
  • NSCLC that cannot be classified as one of the eligible histologies (adenocarcinoma, large cell or bronchioalveolar).
  • Prior systemic therapy for Stage IIIB (with malignant effusion), Stage IV, or recurrent NSCLC. (Prior treatment with systemic therapy as adjuvant chemotherapy or in conjunction with radiotherapy for Stage II or III NSCLC is permitted if the last dose of chemotherapy was completed 12 months or more prior to randomization).
  • Prior treatment with a VEGF or VEGFR inhibitor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time in months from the date of randomization to first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. PFS was calculated as (first event date minus minus the date of randomization plus 1) divided by 30.4. Tumor progression was determined from oncologic assessment data (where data meet the criteria for progressive disease [PD]); death was determined from AE data (where the outcome was "Death") or from the end of study data.

    Measured: Phase 2 baseline until the date of first documented progression or death due to any cause or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy, assessed every 6 weeks up to 84 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time in months from the date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. OS was calculated as (the death date minus the date of randomization plus 1) divided by 30.4. Death was determined from AE data (where outcome was death) or from follow-up contact data (where the participant current status was death).

    Measured: Baseline until death or collected bimonthly following discontinuation of study treatment until at least 1 year after randomization of the last participant

  2. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR)

    Percentage of participants with OR based assessment of confirmed complete response (CR)/confirmed partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST).Confirmed responses: those persist on repeat imaging study at least 4 weeks after initial documentation of response.CR: disappearance of all lesions (target/non target) and no appearance of new lesions.PR: those with at least 30 % decrease in sum of longest dimensions of target lesions taking as reference baseline sum longest dimensions,without progression of non target lesions and no appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Phase 2 baseline until the date of first documented progression or discontinuation from the study due to any cause or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy, assessed every 6 weeks up to 84 weeks

  3. Duration of Response (DR)

    Time in months from the first documentation of objective tumor response to objective tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Duration of tumor response was calculated as (the date of the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to cause minus the date of the first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed plus 1) divided by 30.4. DR was calculated for the subgroup of participants with a confirmed objective tumor response.

    Measured: Phase 2 baseline until the date of first documented progression or discontinuation from the study due to any cause or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy, assessed every 6 weeks up to 84 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline in Monroe Dunaway (MD) Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI) Symptom Severity Score

    Symptom severity score is comprised of average of 13 MDASI core items (pain, fatigue, nausea, disturbed sleep, distressed, shortness of breath, remembering things, lack of appetite, drowsy, dry mouth, sadness, vomiting, numbness or tingling) and ranges from 0 to 10. Participants were asked to rate severity of each symptom at their worst in last 24 hours; each item rated from 0 to 10, with 0 = symptom not present and 10 = as bad as you can imagine. Lower scores indicated better outcome.

    Measured: Phase 2 baseline (Cycle1/Day1), Cycle1/Day8, then Day 1 and 8 of each cycle of chemotherapy (C) up to CycleC6, Day 1 of each cycle of single-agent phase (A) up to CycleA8 and end of treatment (EOT)

  5. Change From Baseline in Monroe Dunaway (MD) Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI) Symptom Interference Score

    Symptom interference score is comprised of average of 6 function items from MDASI core (general activity, mood, work, relations with others, walking, and enjoyment of life) and ranges from 0 to 10. Participants were asked to rate how much symptoms have interfered in last 24 hours; each item rated from 0 to 10, with 0 = did not interfere and 10 = interfered completely. Lower scores indicated better outcome.

    Measured: Phase 2 baseline (Cycle1/Day1), Cycle1/Day8, then Day 1 and 8 of each cycle of chemotherapy (C) up to CycleC6, Day 1 of each cycle of single-agent phase (A) up to CycleA8 and EOT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing axitinib and chemotherapy in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small Cell Lung, run by Pfizer at 52 sites in 11 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 52 sites in United States, Poland, United Kingdom, Spain, Russia and 6 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 30 Mar 2012). 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 (PFS) (time frame: Phase 2 baseline until the date of first documented progression or death due to any cause or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy, assessed every 6 weeks up to 84 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 NCT00768755, 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 2015.
