About this study

Official title: Prospective, Open-label, Multicenter, National, Non-interventional Phase IV Trial of the Effectiveness, Safety and Tolerability of Tarceva as Second-line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), After Failure of First-line Treatment With a Pemetrexed-containing Chemotherapy Regimen

This prospective, multicenter observational study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Tarceva (erlotinib) as second-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed after pemetrexed-containing first-line chemotherapy. Eligible patients will be followed until withdrawal of consent, lost-to-follow-up, or study termination, whichever occurs first.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ErlotinibSelection of the dose of erlotinib most suitable for each participant was left to the discretion of the physician, guided by the recommendation in the Summary of Product Characteristics. The recommended daily oral dose of erlotinib is 150 mg.
Receives: Drug: Erlotinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the first dose of erlotinib to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred earlier. Progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter of target lesions recorded since treatment started, or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 2 years)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Best Overall Response

    Reported are the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD). The best overall response to treatment was determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). A CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions (TL) or the disappearance of all non-TLs. A PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of TLs, taking as reference the baseline SLD. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for a PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest SLD since treatment started for TLs and the persistence of 1 or more non-TL(s). PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD of TLs, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs.

    Measured: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 2 years)

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from Baseline until death from any cause.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Developed Rash

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Developed Diarrhea

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 21 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 28 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Dec 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 (time frame: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 2 years)). 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 28 Dec 2015.
