About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Phase II Study of Erlotinib Monotherapy Versus Docetaxel and Cisplatin as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients of Stage IIIA Lung Adenocarcinoma With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Gene Mutation.

To compare clinical response (complete response and partial response) by RECIST) rates by RECIST between erlotinib monotherapy and docetaxel plus cisplatin chemotherapy

Read the detailed description

an open-label, multi-centre, randomized, phase II study evaluating efficacy of erlotinib monotherapy vs. docetaxel plus cisplatin chemotherapy.

Patients with histological documented stage IIIA lung adenocarcinoma. The tumor specimens were examined for EGFR gene mutation (Exon 18-21).

Those with exon 19 deletion and L858R, G719X, L861Q mutation were randomized as erlotinib monotherapy or docetaxel plus cisplatin chemotherapy.

The randomization will be stratified by center

Study treatment Patients will receive treatment for 9 weeks unless disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death.

Erlotinib arm:

Patients in erlotinib arm will take erlotinib 150mg/day for 9 weeks unless disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death.

Chemotherapy arm:

Patients in chemotherapy arm will then receive 3 cycles (9 weeks) of chemotherapy with docetaxel 35mg/m2 IV on day 1 and day 8, and cisplatin 75mg/m2 on day 8.

Treatment failure will include patients who fail to complete 3 cycles (9 weeks) of study treatments due to disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients with no disease progression after terminating study treatment will undergo surgical resection and be followed until disease progression is noted, or study end. Survival will be recorded and analyzed.

If progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity occurs during study treatments, patients will be treated at discretion of investigator according to local protocol.

Please note:

  • If it is judged by the investigator to be in the best interest of the patient, patients discontinuing study treatment may receive second-line treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing erlotinib and docetaxel in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer(NSCLC), run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2014. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chong Jen YU, M.D., Ph.D (jefferycjyu@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Adverse Event (time frame: Within 28 days of last study dose). 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 15 Jan 2014.
