Induction Chemotherapy With Carboplatin and Navelbine Oral(R) Followed by Concomitant Navelbine Oral(R) and Irradiation in Local-regionally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. A Randomized Phase II Study
Abstract
This study is an open label randomized multi-centre phase II trial in patients with inoperable locally advanced stage IIB-IIIB Non Small Cell Lung Cancer who fulfils the general criteria for curatively intended irradiation. The treatment plan consists of two courses of inductions chemotherapy followed of concomitant therapy chemo-radiotherapy 3 weeks after day 1 of the last induction chemotherapy has been given. The patients will be included in the study after completing the induction chemotherapy. Randomization will take place only if an acceptable dose plan can be obtained.
Conditions: Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
Primary outcome: Local Failure Free Survival.
Enrollment: 117 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 117 participants or records.
