About this study

Official title: An Open Label Study to Evaluate the Effect of First Line Treatment With Tarceva in Combination With Gemcitabine on Disease Progression in Patients With Unresectable Advanced and/or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of erlotinib + gemcitabine in chemotherapy-naive participants with unresectable, advanced and/or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Participants will receive erlotinib 150 mg orally (po) daily, in combination with gemcitabine 1000 mg/m^2 intravenously (iv) weekly for 3 weeks of each 4 week cycle. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

Being tested
Erlotinib, Gemcitabine

What participants receive

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Erlotinib + GemcitabineExperimentalParticipants received erlotinib 150 mg/day, orally (po) on a continuous schedule in combination with gemcitabine at 1000 mg/m^2 administered intravenously (iv) on days 1, 8, 15 of each 4 week cycle for 6 cycles as per standard medical care, or until disease progression or participant's withdrawal due to any reason or death.
Receives: Drug: Erlotinib; Drug: Gemcitabine

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Disease Progression

    Time to disease progression or progression free survival (PFS) was defined as the interval between the day of randomization and the date of the first documentation of disease progression or date of death (from any cause), whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From the time of randomization until disease progression or death (up to 193 weeks)]

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Overall response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who had any evidence of confirmed objective complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) and assessed by computed tomography imaging (CT): Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: From the time of randomization until disease progression or death (up to 193 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the interval between the day of randomization and the date of death from any cause.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib and Gemcitabine in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Metastatic, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 1 site in Romania.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 Jun 2016. 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 Romania. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 May 2016). 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 (time frame: From the time of randomization until disease progression or death (up to 193 weeks)]). The study lists 2 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 Jun 2016.
