About this study

Official title: Phase II, Multicenter, Randomized, Open Label Study of a Sequential Treatment of Intermittent Erlotinib and Docetaxel Versus Erlotinib in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer After Failure of a Prior Chemotherapy Regimen

Erlotinib has demonstrated efficacy as a single agent in patients with NSCLC and the addition of erlotinib to chemotherapy has not achieved better results in the general population.

However, several preclinical and phase I studies have shown that a sequential treatment of erlotinib and chemotherapy could avoid a possible negative interaction between both drugs when administrated concomitantly, and therefore, it could improve the benefit of the combination therapy.

This study will investigate if the intermittent treatment of a chemotherapy drug, such as docetaxel, with erlotinib could achieve a clinical benefit.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Docetaxel and ErlotinibDrug

    Docetaxel (Taxotere®) 75 mg/m2 iv first day of each 21-day cycle. Erlotinib (Tarceva®) 150 mg po days 2-16 of each 21-day cycle. Total: 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression

  • ErlotinibDrug

    150 mg/day po daily

Study groups in NCT00908336
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Docetaxel and ErlotinibExperimentalPatients in the experimental arm will receive sequential treatment of intermittent erlotinib and docetaxel up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal or investigator's decision to discontinue the treatment. After 4 cycles, participants will receive 150 mg of erlotinib per day until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal or investigator's decision to discontinue the treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients without disease progression after 6 months of treatment.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Measured: Time from randomization until objective tumor progression or death for any cause. Tumour progression will be assessed every 2 months.

  2. Duration of Response

    Measured: The time from the first complete response or partial response until objective tumor progression or death due to progression disease. Tumour progression will be assessed every 2 months.

  3. Overall Response Rate

    Measured: The proportion of patients with tumor size reduction (complete response or partial response following RECIST criteria). Response will be assessed every 2 months.

  4. Disease Control Rate

    Measured: The proportion of patients without tumor size increase (complete response, partial response or stable disease following RECIST criteria). Response wil be assessed every 2 months.

  5. Overall survival

    Measured: Time from randomization until death from any cause. Follow up wil be assessed every 3 months after finishing study treatment.

  6. Safety profile

    Measured: Toxicity will be discribed per cycle and per patient according to CTCAE vs. 3, every 3 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and Erlotinib and Erlotinib in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hospital Arnau de Vilanova at 8 sites in Spain.

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 10 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Oscar Juan, Doctor (0034963868501, juan_osc@gva.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients without disease progression after 6 months of treatment. (time frame: 6 months). 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 25 May 2009.
