About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Oral EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor OSI-774 (NSC-718781) in Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Erlotinib may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor. This phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib works in treating patients with malignant mesothelioma of the lung

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the 1-year survival rate in patients with unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma treated with erlotinib.

II. Determine the response rate in patients with measurable disease treated with this drug.

III. Determine the frequency and severity of toxic effects of this drug in these patients.

IV. Measure epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression, EGFR gene amplification, and other activation products in the EGFR signaling pathway in tumor samples and correlate with clinical outcomes in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral erlotinib once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and then annually for 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 55 patients will be accrued for this study within 14-18 months.

Being tested
erlotinib hydrochloride, laboratory biomarker analysis

Receives: Drug: erlotinib hydrochloride; Other: laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall survival rate

    Erlotinib hydrochloride will not be of further interest if the true one-year survival rate is 35% or less, but of considerable interest if 55% or more.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. RECIST response rate

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. Association between EGFR expression with survival and response

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing erlotinib hydrochloride and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Advanced Malignant Mesothelioma and Epithelial Mesothelioma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 38 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival rate (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jan 2013.
