What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Pemetrexed in Combination With Cisplatin and Radiation Therapy
Time Frame: Baseline to measured progressive disease (PD; up to 1 year)
Recommended Phase 2 MTD was highest dose at which no more than 1 of 6 participants experienced dose level toxicity (DLT). DLT=(1) Grade 3/4 dysphagia/esophagitis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, fatigue/malaise, pneumonitis, dermatitis, persistent elevation of bilirubin/alkaline phosphatase/aspartate aminotransferase only if resulting in delay of radiotherapy >1 week, delay of pemetrexed/cisplatin Cycle 2 >2 weeks, or delay of pemetrexed/cisplatin Cycle 3 past 5 weeks after radiotherapy; (2) other Grade 3 or 4 toxicity possibly related to concurrent treatment administration.
Baseline to measured progressive disease (PD; up to 1 year)
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival (OS) at 1 Year
Time Frame: Baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 1 year)
OS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to death due to any cause.
Baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 1 year)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Phase 1: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE; Toxicity)
Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 1 year)
A listing of AEs is located in the Reported Adverse Event module.
Baseline to measured PD (up to 1 year)
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival (OS) at 2 Years and 3 Years
Time Frame: Baseline and 2 years and 3 years
OS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to death due to any cause.
Baseline and 2 years and 3 years
Phase 2: Time to Progressive Disease (PD)
Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years)
Time to PD was defined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of objective disease progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions as references the smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. Time to PD was censored at the date of death if death was due to other cause. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who did not have PD, time to PD was censored at the last progression-free disease assessment. For participants who received subsequent cancer therapy (after discontinuation from the study therapy) before PD, time to PD was censored at the date of subsequent cancer therapy initiation.
Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years)
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year and 2 years and 3 years
The percentage of participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date or last contact and who did not have PD.
Baseline and 1 year and 2 years and 3 years
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 36 months)
PFS was defined as the period from study entry until PD, death, or date of last contact. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who did not have PD, the PFS date was censored at the last contact date (contacts considered in the determination of last progression free disease assessment).
Baseline to measured PD (up to 36 months)
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Objective Tumor Response (Response Rate)
Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years)
Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0). Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD)=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD)=small changes that do not meet above criteria. Objective response rate (%)=number of objective responders divided by the number of participants with measurable disease * 100, where objective responders are those participants who have met criteria either for CR or PR.
Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years)
Phase 2: Site of Progressive Disease (PD)
Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years)
Summarized participants with local (progression within the sites of initial disease)/regional (disease progression adjacent to but not within the site of initial disease at the start of treatment), distant (disease progression that is blood borne to other parts of the body, including outside the chest or involving the contralateral lung), and local + distant sites of disease. Objective PD is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions as references the smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years)
