Participant flow

Group	Started	Completed
Apricoxib/Erlotinib	78	74
Placebo/Erlotinib	42	39

Primary outcome: Time to Disease Progression (TDP)

Time frame: Baseline and every other cycle.. Median (95% Confidence Interval). Unit: months

Measure	Apricoxib/Erlotinib n = 78	Placebo/Erlotinib n = 42
Value	1.80 (1.40 to 2.80)	2.10 (1.40 to 4.00)

Population analysed: A 1-sided log rank test was used to achieve 80% power at an α=0.20 significance level to detect a difference of 0.13 between the proportions of patients who are progression free in AP/E (0.34) and P/E (0.21) after 5 months; an overall sample size of 115 patients (77 in AP/E and 38 in P/E) will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio in this study.

1 secondary outcome is reported in the full results.

Adverse events

Time frame: First dose of study drug to 30 days after last dose of study drug.. Other adverse events reported at 5% frequency or more

Group	Serious adverse events	Other adverse events	Deaths
Apricoxib/Erlotinib	13 of 78 (16.7%)	77 of 78 (98.7%)	Not reported

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing apricoxib/erlotinib in people with Recurrent Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Tragara Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 47 sites 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 5 inclusion and 10 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 9 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 47 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Apr 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Time to Disease Progression (TDP) (time frame: Baseline and every other cycle.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00652340, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Apr 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
