  • Creatinine =< 2 X institutional ULN OR creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal.
  • The effects of erlotinib on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown; for this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed screening and treatment consent.

Who cannot join

  • Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop. progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to erlotinib.
  • EGFR-mutation negative tumor tissue as determined by sequencing; if an individual tissue test result is inconclusive (unable to be determined), it will be considered negative for study eligibility purposes.
  • History of previous malignancy excluding non-melanoma skin lesions and in-situ cervical cancer; patients with other malignancies are eligible if they have been disease free for >= 3 years.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because it is unknown if erlotinib poses a potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with erlotinib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with erlotinib.
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with erlotinib; in addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections; appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.
  • Inability to tolerate or absorb an oral medication due to any cause, including but not limited to malabsorption syndromes.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Erlotinib for Patients With Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma (MPeM) Exhibiting EGFR Mutations

The purpose of this study is to test the drug erlotinib (erlotinib hydrochloride) in people with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma who have a specific genetic mutation in their cancer. Erlotinib has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for other cancers, but erlotinib has not been approved for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. This research is being done because there is no current standard treatment for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma and the study doctors want to see how erlotinib affects malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the objective response rate (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) of erlotinib in malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM) patients who have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the percentage of patients with MPeM who have EGFR mutations. II. To characterize asbestos exposure history and other clinical parameters of patients with MPeM who do or do not have EGFR mutations.

III. To determine the disease control rate (CR + PR + stable disease [SD]) of MPeM patients who have EGFR mutations and are treated with erlotinib.

IV. To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) of MPeM patients who have EGFR mutations and are treated with erlotinib.

  1. To determine the median overall survival (OS) of MPeM patients who have EGFR mutations and are treated with erlotinib.

VI. To evaluate toxicity in MPeM patients who have EGFR mutations and are treated with erlotinib.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To characterize the specific EGFR mutations observed in MPeM patients. II. To correlate tumor markers (cancer antigen [CA] 125 and soluble mesothelin-related peptide [SMRP]) with response rate, PFS, and OS in MPeM patients treated with erlotinib.

III. To correlate immunohistochemical staining of EGFR, phosphorylated (p)-EGFR, MET (Metastasis), E-cadherin, vimentin, and CBL (Casitas B-lineage Lymphoma)with EGFR mutational status and, if present, particular EGFR mutation noted.

IV. To correlate immunohistochemical staining of EGFR, p-EGFR, MET, E-cadherin, vimentin, and CBL with response rate, PFS, and OS in MPeM patients treated with erlotinib.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD). Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate

    Objective Response Rate is calculated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PFS

    Progression free survival (PFS) defined as time from study enrollment until disease progression or death.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. OS

    Overall survival measured as the time from study enrollment until death.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Toxicity

    Toxicity is calculated in terms of adverse events per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria version 4.0

    Measured: 30 days from the last dose of study drug

  4. Disease Control Rate - SD + PR + CR

    Disease Control Rate - SD + PR + CR is calculated as the percentage of patients with either complete response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions), or with partial response (PR: at least 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter of target lesions), or stable disease (SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease of an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the longest diameter of the target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum of longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions).

    Measured: 1 year

  5. EGFR Mutations Percentage

    EGFR Mutations Percentage is calculated as the percentage of patients who have activating EGFR mutations among all screened patients.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing erlotinib hydrochloride in people with Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma, run by University of Chicago at 1 site in United States.

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 14 inclusion and 10 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 16 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 Oct 2018). 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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: 1 year). 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 16 Oct 2018.
