About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Phase III Trial of Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Who Are Effective on Erlotinib or Gefitinib(RT1001)

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy to the brain may be effective in preventing brain metastases in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective than observation in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to the brain to see how well it works compared with observation in preventing brain metastases in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

Determine the effectiveness of prophylactic cranial radiotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that is responsive to gefitinib or erlotinib hydrochloride.

Secondary

Determine the progression-free survival in patients treated with this regimen. Determine the overall survival in patients treated with this regimen. Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients. Determine the psycho-neurological effects of this regimen in these patients. Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients with good response( CR/PR) to EGFR-TKI(Erlotinib or Gefitinib) are randomized to receive EGFR-TKI plus PCI or EGFR-TKI alone,stratified according to prior chemotherapy regimens (first line vs second line), and disease response status.

Group 1: Patients undergo prophylactic brain radiotherapy. Group 2: Patients undergo observation. Patients complete quality of life questionnaires periodically.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Prophylactic cranial irradiation and Erlotinib /Gefitinib in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital at 2 sites in China.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Shenglin Ma, MD (+8657188122568, mashenglin@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary endpoint is the cumulative incidence of symptomatic brain metastases (BM) (time frame: 2.5years). 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 8 Jul 2010.
