What is being measured

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

  1. tumor response rate

    Measured: Tumor assessments after completion of chemoradiotherapy and every 2 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. overall survival

    Measured: baseline to date of death from any cause

  2. time to progressive disease

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease

  3. the safety profile

    Measured: every cycle

  4. site of first failure in patients who develop progressive disease

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pemetrexed, carboplatin and thoracic radiation in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2011. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

tumor response rate (time frame: Tumor assessments after completion of chemoradiotherapy and every 2 months). 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 24 Feb 2011.
