About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Concurrent Pemetrexed, Cisplatin and Radiotherapy in Local Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended dose of pemetrexed and the maximum tolerated dose of radiotherapy when using concurrent pemetrexed/cisplatin/radiotherapy in the patients with local advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study was conducted to explore the feasibility of concurrent chemoradiation therapy with pemetrexed, cisplatin and radiotherapy in unresectable local advanced non-small cell lung cancer. We will perform the dose escalation of pemetrexed to determine if full dose (500mg/m2) of pemetrexed could be administrated concurrently with cisplatin and conventional dose radiotherapy (66Gy) firstly. Secondly, radiation dose will be escalated to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of radiotherapy when administered concurrently with full dose pemetrexed and cisplatin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Concurrent Pemetrexed, Cisplatin and Radiotherapy in people with Local Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 9 inclusion and 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiaolong Fu, MD (862164175590 ext. 1408, xlfu1964@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dose-limiting toxicities per protocol (time frame: every 3 months from the end of treatment to 2 years). 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 18 Feb 2009.
