About this study

Official title: Personalized 1st-line Treatment of Patients With NSCLC: is Timely Analysis of EGFR-mutation Status Feasible in a Routine Practice Setting in Antwerp.

This is an observational study to evaluate the feasibility of the implementation of a personalized treatment strategy based on specific tumor marker (f.i. EGFR-mutation) in the routine clinical care setting in the Antwerp region (Belgium).

Read the detailed description

The favourable results of a number of phase III-trials with gefitinib in NSCLC patients with activating EGFR-mutations, have resulted in the licensing of gefitinib in this indication. This offers the prospect of a true personalized treatment of patients with NSCLC. Implementation of such a personalized treatment strategy is dependent both on the availability of adequate tumor samples for the EGFR-mutation analysis and on the timely reporting of the mutation analysis results. Ideally the results should be available in all patients within 2 weeks of the analysis request.

What is being measured

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

  1. testing turn around time (in days)

    how long does it take to get the mutation analysis result

    Measured: up to 1 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. demographics

    age, gender, tumor histology, smoking history

    Measured: baseline

  2. correlation between pulmonary function/pulmonary antecedents and EGFR-mutation status

    Measured: baseline

  3. correlation between family history with regards to cancer and EGFR-mutation status

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University Hospital, Antwerp at 11 sites in Belgium.

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 1 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 18 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in Belgium. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

testing turn around time (in days) (time frame: up to 1 month). 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 18 Jan 2012.
