Gene test may reveal which early lung cancers need chemo after surgery

NCT ID NCT01817192

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether a 14-gene test can identify people with early-stage non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who are at higher risk of the cancer returning after surgery. Patients whose tumors are completely removed and who test as intermediate or high risk are randomly assigned to either observation or four cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy. The trial compares disease-free survival between the two groups to see if the gene test can guide who should receive chemotherapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy
What this could lead to
If the gene test works, doctors could offer chemotherapy after surgery to the early-stage lung cancer patients most likely to benefit, while sparing others unnecessary treatment.
What could go wrong
The gene test may not reliably pick out who benefits, and chemotherapy carries risks of side effects. The trial may not show a clear advantage over observation alone.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

420 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Sep 2020

Expected to finish

May 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent * Age ≥ 18 years * Able to comply with the protocol, including acceptable candidacy for adjuvant chemotherapy according to local institutional standards and likely compliance with follow-up for anticipated length of study (i.e. 5 years from the initiation of enrollment). * Willing to be randomized to chemotherapy. * Histologically documented completely resected (R0) Stage I or IIA non-squamous NSCLC (per 8th edition, TNM staging system) * Adequate tissue sample for the 14-Gene Prognostic Assay * Life expectancy excluding NSCLC diagnosis ≥ 5 years * ECOG performance status 0-1 Exclusion Criteria: * Final pathologic diagnosis of pure squamous cell, pure small cell, or pure neuroendocrine histology, or any combination of only these three histologies * Evidence of greater than stage IIA pathologic staging * Evidence of incomplete resection * Pregnant or lactating women * Unwilling to use an effective means of contraception * Active infection, either systemic or at site of primary resection * Systemic chemotherapy or anti-cancer agent within 5 years prior to enrollment * Radiotherapy to the chest in the immediate pre- or post- operative period * Malignancies other than the current NSCLC within 5 years prior to randomization, except for adequately treated CIS of the cervix, non-melanoma skin cancer, localized prostate cancer treated locally, ductal carcinoma in situ treated surgically * Treatment with any investigational drug or participation in another clinical trial within 28 days prior to enrollment * Known hypersensitivity to study treatment agents * Evidence of any other disease including infection that contraindicates the use of systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy or puts the patient at high risk for treatment-related complications * Wound dehiscence or infection
