  • Prior treatment with at least one platinum-based line of treatment for locally advanced, unresectable/inoperable disease or metastatic disease, and no more than one additional line of chemotherapy treatment, defined as follows:
  • Adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiation counts as a line of therapy if < 12 months have elapsed between the last dose and the date of recurrence. Combined treatment with chemotherapy and radiation constitutes a single regimen; surgery is not considered a regimen.
  • Cytotoxic maintenance therapy that differs from first-line therapy is considered an additional line of therapy. However, changes in treatment due to intolerance or excessive toxicity are not considered an additional regimen.
  • The last dose of prior chemotherapy must have been given >/= 21 days prior to Day 1 (>/= 14 days for vinorelbine or other vinca alkaloids or gemcitabine).
  • Anti-cancer agents used for pleurodesis are not counted as a line of therapy.
  • Prior radiation therapy is allowed provided the patient has recovered from any toxic effects and >/= 7 days have elapsed between the last session and randomization.
  • Patients must use effective contraception throughout the trial and until 3 months after the last dose.

Who cannot join

  • More than 30 days expsoure to an EGFR inhibitor or a known EGFR-toxicity resulting in dose modifications.
  • Prior exposure to agents targeting either the HGF or MET pathway, including but not limited to crizotinib, cabozantinib, ficlatuzumab, rilotumumab, and tivantinib.
  • Pleural effusion, pericardial fluid, or ascites requiring drainage every other week or more frequently.
  • Brain metastases or spinal cord compression that were not definitively treated with surgery and/or radiation or that were previously diagnosed and treated without evidence of clinically stable disease for >/= 14 days. Patients with treated central nervous system (CNS) metastases who are asymptomatic and on a stable dose of corticosteroid for >/= 14 days prior to randomization are eligible.
  • History of another cancer in the previous 5 years, except for appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin cancer, stage I uterine cancer, or other cancers that are curable.

Show all 15Show fewer
  • Radiographically visible interstitial lung disease (ILD) or a history of it. History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted.
  • Inadequate hematologic, biological, or organ function.
  • Significant history of cardiac disease.
  • Serious active infection at the time of randomization or other serious underlying medical conditions that would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol treatment, including positive HIV or active hepatitis B or C infections, significant gastrointestinal abnormalities, uncontrolled diabetes.
  • Any inflammatory changes to the surface of the eye.
  • Inability to take oral medication, need for intravenous alimentation, prior surgical procedures affecting absorption, or active peptic ulcer disease.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Phase III, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Onartuzumab (MetMAb) in Combination With Erlotinib as Second- or Third-Line Treatment for Patients With MET-Positive Incurable Stage IIIB/IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This randomized, Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of MetMAb (onartuzumab) in combination with Tarceva (erlotinib) compared with treatment with Tarceva alone in patients with incurable Met-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either MetMAb + Tarceva or placebo + Tarceva. Tarceva (150 mg) will be given orally once daily, and MetMAb (15 mg/kg) will be given intravenously every 3 weeks. Treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, a decision to discontinue, or death occurs. Total study length is expected to be around 36 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing erlotinib [Tarceva] and Onartuzumab [MetMAb] in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 8 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 13 inclusion and 15 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 14 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

Overall survival (OS) (time frame: Up to 36 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Mar 2017.
