Impact of Chemotherapy Dose Reductions on Survival Outcomes Among Older NSCLC Patients Without Actionable Mutations

Impact of Chemotherapy Dose Reductions on Survival Outcomes Among Older NSCLC Patients Without Actionable Mutations: A Retrospective Cohort Study.


Sponsor

University of Malaya

Enrollment

150 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Evidence suggests that appropriately selected older adults can tolerate standard-dose chemotherapy and achieve survival outcomes comparable to younger patients. However, older adults are usually under-represented in clinical trials and often receive reduced doses of chemotherapy due to concerns regarding age-related frailty, polypharmacy, and toxicity. This study seeks to evaluate chemotherapy dosing patterns and associated survival outcomes in older patients.


Eligibility

Min Age: 65 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is examining whether reducing the dose of chemotherapy in older patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) affects how long they survive. It looks at real-world data from patients aged 65 and older whose cancer does not have targetable gene mutations. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 65 years or older - You have been confirmed to have Stage IV (widely spread) non-small cell lung cancer - Your cancer does not have EGFR mutations, ALK rearrangements, or ROS1 fusions - You have received at least one cycle of first-line chemotherapy **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your first-line treatment was targeted therapy or immunotherapy used alone (not chemotherapy) - Your survival follow-up data is incomplete Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
