What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Best Objective Response

    Percentage of participants with best objective response: confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to RECIST (version 1.1).

    Measured: Baseline till progression or death

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control (DC)

    Percentage of participants with objective response or stable disease (SD) as determined by RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: Baseline till progression or death

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Time

    PFS time is defined as time from start of treatment to the earliest of progression (RECIST version 1.1), clinical progression (investigator), start of new anti-cancer treatment or death

    Measured: Baseline till end of study or death

  3. Duration of Disease Control (DC)

    Duration of diesease control (DC) (objective response or stable disease (SD) as determined by RECIST version 1.1).

    Measured: Baseline till progression or death

  4. Time to OR

    The time to objective response (OR) was the duration from the first treatment to the time when the measurement criteria for CR and/or PR were met according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: Baseline till progression or death

  5. Duration of OR

    Duration of OR was measured from the time the criteria for CR or PR (whichever was documented first) were first met until the first date that progressive disease or death was objectively documented.

    Measured: Baseline till progression or death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing afatinib (BIBW 2992) in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 3 sites in South Korea.

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 12 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 31 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in South Korea. 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 17 Oct 2013). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Best Objective Response (time frame: Baseline till progression or death). 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 NCT01003899, 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 31 Dec 2013.
