What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from baseline until measured progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause, whichever is first. According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST v1.1), PD was at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the 20% relative increase, the sum must have also demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm). The appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing nontarget lesions was also considered progression. Participants without objectively determined PD, who were alive at the end of the follow-up period (or lost to follow-up), were censored on the date of the participant's last complete radiographic tumor assessment; if no baseline or post-baseline radiologic assessment was available, the participant was censored at the date of randomization.

    Measured: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease or Death from Any Cause (Up to 21 Months)

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

    OS was defined as time from baseline to the date of death from any cause. Participants who were alive at the end of the follow-up period (or lost to follow-up) were censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive.

    Measured: Baseline to Death from Any Cause (Up to 28 Months)

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Best Overall Tumor Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Objective Tumor Response Rate (ORR)]

    Participants achieved an objective response if they had a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). According to RECIST v1.1, CR was the disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions, with the short axes of any target lymph node reduced to <10 mm, the disappearance of all nontarget lesions, and the normalization of tumor marker levels (if tumor markers were initially above the upper limit of normal [ULN]); PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (including the short axes of any target lymph node), taking as reference the baseline sum diameter. The percentage of participants who achieved an objective response equals (number of participants with CR or PR)/(number of participants assessed)*100.

    Measured: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease or Participant Stops Study (Up to 97 Weeks)

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Best Overall Disease Response of CR, PR or Stable Disease (SD) [Disease Control Rate (DCR)]

    Participants achieved disease control if they had a best overall response of PR, CR or SD. According to RECIST v1.1, CR was the disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions, with the short axes of any target lymph node reduced to <10 mm, the disappearance of all nontarget lesions, and the normalization of tumor marker levels (if tumor markers were initially above the upper limit of normal [ULN]); PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (including the short axes of any target lymph node), taking as reference the baseline sum diameter. SD was neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify as PR nor sufficient increase to qualify as PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameter since treatment started. The percentage of participants who achieved disease control equals (number of participants with CR, PR, or SD)/(number of participants assessed)*100.

    Measured: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease or Participant Stopped Study (Up to 97 Weeks)

  4. Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life Questionnaire - 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) Index Score

    The EQ-5D is a quality-of-life instrument which allowed participants to rate their health state in 5 health domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression using a scale from 1 to 3 (no problem, some problems, and extreme problems, respectively). These combinations of attributes were converted into a weighted Health State Index score according to a United Kingdom population-based algorithm; the possible values for the Health State Index score ranged from -0.59 (severe problems in all 5 dimensions) to 1.0 (no problem in any dimension).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 21 Each Cycle (Cycle = 21 Days) and 30-Day Follow Up (Up to 97 Weeks)

  5. Change From Baseline in Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS)

    The participant-reported LCSS was a 9-item questionnaire. Six items were symptom-specific measures for lung cancer (loss of appetite, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and pain), and 3 summation items described total symptomatic distress, interference with activity level, and global quality of life. Participant responses to each item were measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 (best outcome) to 100 (worst outcome). The Average Symptom Burden Index (ASBI) was the mean of the 6 symptom-specific items in the LCSS. The Total LCSS was the mean of all 9 LCSS items. Maximum improvement in LCSS scores, ASBI, and Total LCSS score was the largest decrease from baseline for each variable, which was the smallest (most negative or smallest positive) non-missing value among all change from baseline values for each variable.

    Measured: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease or Participant Stopped Study (up to 97 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ramucirumab and Docetaxel in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Metastatic, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 15 sites in Japan.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jan 2016). 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: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease or Death from Any Cause (Up to 21 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 NCT01703091, which also lists 2 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 30 Sep 2019.
