NGR015: Study in Second Line for Patient With Advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Pretreated With Pemetrexed

Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm. Found by searching ClinicalTrials.gov for this cancer type, restricted to studies that have posted results to the registry. No FDA notice, FDA label or NCI summary held by this site cites this study. Because the search asked for posted results, studies without posted results were never looked for, so their absence from this page means nothing.

secondary · POSTED

Defined as the time from the date of randomization until disease progression, or deathdue to any couse or the last patient was konwn to be alive. Progression is defined usind Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (Recist v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition torelative increase of 20% the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. In addition the appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression

All adverse events will be recorded according to CTC version 4.02 (CTC reference: http://ctep.cancer.gov/reporting/ctc.html) on the case report forms (CRFs); the investigator will decide if those events are drug related and his decision will be recorded on the forms for all adverse events.

The safety data referred to patients of both arms who received at least one treatment and is termed as safety population (n=386)

secondary · POSTED

Quality of life (QoL) assessment was performed by using a questionnaire according to The Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) . The LCSS is designed as a disease and site-specific measure of QoL particularly for use in clinical trials. It evaluates six major symptoms (loss of appetite, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and pain) associated with lung malignancies and their effect on overall symptomatic distress, functional activities, and global QoL. Within this trial the questionnaire according to LCSS was only recorded by the patient (patient's scale). QoL assessment was performed by using a questionnaire according to LCSS, which consists of nine 100-mm visual analog scales, with scores reported from 0 to 100 (0 representing the best score). The LCSS subscore is the average symptom burden index computed as the mean score for all six major symptoms. Symptomatic progression was defined as a worsening in the average symptom burden index by 25%.

Participants with a worsening in the average symptom burden index by 25%.

    Time to LCSS Symptomatic Progression
    endpoint definition
    Quality of life (QoL) assessment was performed by using a questionnaire according to The Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) . The LCSS is designed as a disease and site-specific measure of QoL particularly for use in clinical trials. It evaluates six major symptoms (loss of appetite, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and pain) associated with lung malignancies and their effect on overall symptomatic distress, functional activities, and global QoL. Within this trial the questionnaire according to LCSS was only recorded by the patient (patient's scale). QoL assessment was performed by using a questionnaire according to LCSS, which consists of nine 100-mm visual analog scales, with scores reported from 0 to 100 (0 representing the best score). The LCSS subscore is the average symptom burden index computed as the mean score for all six major symptoms. Symptomatic progression was defined as a worsening in the average symptom burden index by 25%.

    Time to LCSS Symptomatic Progression
    measure definition
    Quality of life (QoL) assessment was performed by using a questionnaire according to The Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) . The LCSS is designed as a disease and site-specific measure of QoL particularly for use in clinical trials. It evaluates six major symptoms (loss of appetite, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and pain) associated with lung malignancies and their effect on overall symptomatic distress, functional activities, and global QoL. Within this trial the questionnaire according to LCSS was only recorded by the patient (patient's scale). QoL assessment was performed by using a questionnaire according to LCSS, which consists of nine 100-mm visual analog scales, with scores reported from 0 to 100 (0 representing the best score). The LCSS subscore is the average symptom burden index computed as the mean score for all six major symptoms. Symptomatic progression was defined as a worsening in the average symptom burden index by 25%.
    time frame
    from the date of randomization to the date of the LCSS assessment on which symptomatic progression was identified, assessed on cycle 2, cycle 4 and cycle 6 (each cycle lasted 21 days)
