Study Summary

This trial is testing whether adding TRC102 to the usual care treatment of pemetrexed, cisplatin, and radiation therapy followed by durvalumab works better than the usual care treatment alone in patients with stage III non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults (18+) with stage III non-squamous NSCLC who haven't had chemotherapy or radiotherapy for lung cancer. They must have good heart, liver, and kidney function, controlled hepatitis if present, no severe autoimmune disorders or uncontrolled illnesses, and not be pregnant. Participants need measurable disease and acceptable blood counts.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing TRC102 combined with standard chemo (pemetrexed and cisplatin) plus radiation therapy followed by durvalumab against the usual treatment alone. The goal is to see if adding TRC102 improves tumor shrinkage and survival in patients.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include damage to DNA in cells which may lead to cell death, immune system reactions that could attack normal organs along with the cancer, fatigue from anemia due to chemotherapy drugs like pemetrexed and cisplatin, as well as potential kidney issues.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm I (methoxyamine, usual care)Experimental Treatment9 Interventions
Patients receive methoxyamine PO on day 1 of each cycle, pemetrexed IV over 10 minutes on day 1 of each cycle, and cisplatin IV over 60 minutes or carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 3 of each cycle. Beginning day 3, patients also undergo radiation therapy daily Monday-Friday. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 2-6 weeks after cycle 2, patients receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes every 2 weeks or monthly for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT scan or MRI throughout the trial and PET/CT scan during screening and on study.
Group II: Arm II (usual care)Active Control8 Interventions

What is the sample size of this empirical study?

"Yes, current records on clinicaltrials.gov suggest that this research is in the process of enrolling participants. The trial was initially uploaded onto 5/20/2022 and recently updated 10/28/2022. 78 volunteers are needed from 2 different medical centres."

Answered by AI

Is this experiment open to new participants at the present moment?

"The clinical trial registry on clinicialtrials.gov reveals that this research project posted at the beginning of May and has been recently updated in late October is actively recruiting participants."

Answered by AI

What precautions must be taken when administering Radiation Therapy to patients?

"While no clinical research has yet to evaluate its efficacy, radiation therapy is considered moderately safe and was thus given a score of 2."
