About this study

Official title: Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label Study of the Safety of Individual Paclitaxel Dose Adjustment Based on Pharmacokinetic Follow up Versus Conventional Dosage in First-line Treatment in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Platinum-based doublets including paclitaxel, gemcitabine, or docetaxel are standard 1st regimens in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer(NSCLC). The traditional method of individualizing cytotoxic drug dose is by using body surface area(BSA), which is not correlated with the ability of an individual to metabolize or excrete cytotoxic drugs, because it is not related to liver function and is poorly correlated with glomerular filtration rate, and does not seem to be a determinant of toxicity. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as area under the curve have been shown to correlate with toxicity. The advantages of using a fixed dose of antineoplastic agents for all of the patients are obvious. Pharmacokinetically guided treatment would avoid severe adverse effects, which has not been sufficiently investigated in advanced NSCLC.First, the investigators monitor the blood concentrations of paclitaxel and neutropenia blood toxicity after chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients of NSCLC and verify suitable paclitaxel therapeutic window for Chinese patients. Then the investigators compare safety and efficacy between individual paclitaxel dose adjustment based on the therapeutic window compared with conventional dosage.

What participants receive

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

  • dosage of paclitaxelOther

    Based on pharmacokinetics. Observe the toxicity in an individual patient after a fixed Paclitaxel dose depending on BSA and then the dosage of Paclitaxel is adjusted depending on pharmacokinetics follow up to avoid excess toxicity in subsequent cycles.

  • dosage of paclitaxelOther

    Based on body surface area. The dosage of Paclitaxel is based on the BSA of the patient. Paclitaxel/carboplatin up to 4 cycles or disease progression or intolerable toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. CTCAE grade 4 of the blood marrow

    Record the number of CTCAE grade 4 of the blood marrow such as Leukocytes, Neutrophils,Platelets and Hemoglobin in two treatment groups since the initiation of chemotherapy

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Objective response rate

    The objective tumour response rate will be calculated as the percentage of evaluable patients with complete response (CR) and partial response (PR).

    Measured: Tumor assessment 6-8 weeks after the initiation of chemotherapy

  2. Progression free survival

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the first documentation of objective disease progression (PD) or death from any cause.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Overall survival

    Overall survival(OS) is defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the date of patient death due to any cause, or the last date the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: 24 months

  4. Quality of life

    Data on QoL will be assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung (FACT-L) for every patients.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing dosage of paclitaxel in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Caicun Zhou 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 15 inclusion and 11 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 10 Feb 2014. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Jie Zhang, MD (13501878890, zhangjie2172@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CTCAE grade 4 of the blood marrow (time frame: 24 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 NCT02058433, 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 10 Feb 2014.
