About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Randomized, Phase I/II Study of DMXAA in Combination With Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Patients With Locally Advanced and Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study was designed to test the addition of DMXAA (now known as ASA404) to carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

The study was designed to determine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of DMXAA in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with locally advanced and metastatic (Stage IIIb and IV) non-small cell lung cancer. The phase Ib part of the study evaluated dose levels of DMXAA at 600 mg/m2, 1200 mg/m2 and 1800 mg/m2. In the phase II part of the study, patients were randomized to receive carboplatin and paclitaxel alone or in combination with ASA404 1200 mg/m2. An additional single-arm study was undertaken to evaluate further patients at the 1800 mg/m2 dose level.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DMXAA in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxelDrug

    Also called DMXAA is now known as ASA404

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability of combination

  2. Tumor response rate

  3. Time to tumor progression

  4. Duration of response and stable disease; median and one-year survival

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing DMXAA in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Antisoma Research.

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 12 inclusion and 15 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 30 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Safety and tolerability of combination. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00832494, 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 30 Jan 2009.
