About this study

Official title: Phase II, Open-label Study of Erlotinib (Tarceva®) Treatment in Patients With Locally Advanced, Metastatic or Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Who Present Activating Mutations in the Tyrosine Kinase Domain of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor

This open-label study will assess the efficacy and safety of Tarceva (Erlotinib) in patients with locally advanced, metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer who have not received previous chemotherapy for their disease and who present epidermal growth factor receptor mutations. Patients will receive Tarceva 150 mg orally daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (Tumour Assessments According to RECIST Criteria)

    Progression free survival is (PFS) defined as the time from the first dose of Erlotinib to the date of first occurrence of disease progression or death.

    Measured: Until participants had disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or died; approximately 24 months.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective Response Rate (Investigator Assessed)

    Objective response rate (ORR) was defined by RECIST criteria: Partial response (PR) was defined as ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter of all target lesions, from the baseline sum. Complete response (CR) was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. For CR or PR, tumor measurements must be confirmed by 2nd assessments within 4 weeks. Progression of disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter of all target lesions, from smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline; or a new lesion; or progression of non-target lesions. Stable Disease (SD) = Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on the study.

    Measured: Visit 4, Visit 6, Visit 10 and Visit 22; (up to approximately 24 months)

  2. Safety: Incidence of Adverse Events

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An SAE is any experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect, or precaution.

    Measured: Until participants had disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or died; approximately 24 months.

  3. Overall Survival

    The overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the first dose of Erlotinib to the date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: Until participants had disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or died; approximately 24 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing erlotinib [Tarceva] in people with Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 9 sites in Bulgaria.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 2 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Bulgaria. 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 16 Nov 2015). 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?

Progression-free Survival (Tumour Assessments According to RECIST Criteria) (time frame: Until participants had disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or died; approximately 24 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 2 Feb 2016.
