Conditions
Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00365183
Lead Sponsor
Pharmacyclics LLC.
Brief Summary

The goals of this study are:

* to determine if the combination of two drugs, motexafin gadolinium and pemetrexed, may be an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had one previous chemotherapy regimen that included a platinum containing drug such as cisplatin or carboplatin.

* to assess response to treatment in patients with NSCLC six months after beginning study treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
6 month progression free survivalup to 2 years

proportion of patients who are still alive and who have not progressed clinically or radiographically 6 months after receiving their first dose of MGd.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Duaration of reponse (CR+PR)up to 2 years

Duration of response (CR + PR) is defined as the time from first response to the time of disease progression.

Time to disease progressionup to 2 years

Time to progression is defined as the time from first dose of MGd to first evidence of progression.

Overall survivalup to 2 years

Patient population for this endpoint consists of all patients receiving at least 1 dose of MGd and pemetrexed.

Safety and tolerability of MGd and pemetrexedup to 2 years

All patients who receive any MGd will be included in the safety summaries and analyses

Progression free survivalup to 2 years

Progression-free survival is defined as the time from first dose MGd to the earlier of progression or death.

Response rate (CR+PR) by RECIST criteriaup to 2 years
