Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pharmacogenomic & Phase II Study of Gemcitabine and Pemetrexed in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. (NCT NCT00226577)

NCT ID: NCT00226577

Last Updated: 2017-03-23

Results Overview

Number of participants with partial or Complete Response. Complete response (CR) is defined as the total disappearance of all malignant and evaluable clinical evidence of cancer without the development of any new malignant lesions documented on the post chemotherapy chest CT and PET scan. Partial response (PR) (measurable disease only): When compared with pre-treatment measurements, a reduction of \>30% in the sum of the largest diameters of all measurable lesions and absence of new lesions.

Measure
Pre-Surgery Chemotherapy
Pre-Surgery Treatment: Gemcitabine (GemzarR) 1500 mg/m2, and Pemetrexed (AlimtaR) 500 mg/m2. When the chemotherapy treatment was completed, the patient's tumor response was evaluated by a CT scan, pulmonary function test, and another PET scan between days 50 and 63 (during weeks 8 and 9). When there was no growth or spread of the cancer on any of these tests, patients then proceeded to have surgery by week 10 to remove the cancer.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 06/20/2008 Index date for patients enrolled between 04/2004 and 04/2006

Population: A radiographic response evaluation was possible in 49 of 52 patients.

Disease-free survival (DFS) is defined as the period of time from surgery to the time when disease recurrence is clearly documented. A histologic confirmation is required in equivalent cases.

Timeframe: 06/20/2008 Index date for patients enrolled between 04/2004 and 04/2006

Population: A total of 52 eligible patients, 26 men and 26 women, between the ages of 41 and 83 years received at least one dose of chemotherapy. Only 49 patients were evaluable because 3 patients had only the first cycle.
