Feasibility Study of Pemetrexed in Combination With Cisplatin or Carboplatin as Adjuvant Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00269152
Lead Sponsor
Eli Lilly and Company
Brief Summary

This study is a multicenter, open-label, two-arm, randomized, parallel Phase 2 feasibility study of pemetrexed in combination with either cisplatin (Arm A) or carboplatin (Arm B) as adjuvant combination-chemotherapy in participants with completely resected, stage Ib or IIa/IIb non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

A two-stage design will be employed independently for both treatment arms, with the possibility of stopping each treatment early for lack of feasibility.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Feasibility of Post-Surgery Chemotherapyevery 21-day cycle for 4 cycles up to 30 days after last infusion

Feasibility was measured by completion of 4 treatment cycles without remaining toxicities \>=Grade 3 at 30 days after last infusion.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Grade III/IV Adverse Eventsevery 21-day cycle for 4 cycles

Number of participants experiencing Grade III/IV hematologic and non-hematologic adverse events possibly related to study drug or protocol procedures in this study.

Overall Survival at 3 Yearsbaseline to date of death from any cause, assessed at 3 years

For each treatment arm, the Kaplan-Meier technique was used to estimate the 3 year survival rate. Results are presented as probability (%) of survival at 3 years. Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death. For participants not known to have died, overall survival was censored at the last known alive date.

3 Year Disease-Free Survival: Probability of Disease-Free Survival at 3 Yearslength of time disease free, assessed at 3 years

For each treatment arm, the Kaplan-Meier technique was used to estimate the 3 year disease-free rate. Disease-free survival is defined as the time from enrollment to the first observation of disease progression, or death due to any cause. For participants not known to have died and to have had recurrent disease, disease-free survival was censored at the date of the last participant contact with No Recurrence status. Results are presented as probability (%) of disease-free survival at 3 years.

Overall Survival at 6 YearsBaseline to date of death from any cause assessed at 6 years

For each treatment arm, the Kaplan-Meier technique was used to estimate the 6 year survival rate. Results are presented as probability (%) of survival at 6 years. Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death. For participants not known to have died, overall survival was censored at the last known alive date.
