About this study

Official title: An Observational Study of GIOTRIF (Afatinib) for First Line Therapy in Patients With Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Harboring Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)-Mutations.

This observational study will investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and symptom control of GIOTRIF (Afatinib) in daily routine first-line therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR-mutations. Eligible NSCLC patients, for whom the treating physician has decided to initiate treatment with GIOTRIF in first line according to the local label, will be followed up for approximately 24 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate After 12 Months

    The rate (probability) of being progression free after 12 months. PFS is defined as the time from first administration of the trial drug until objective tumor progression or death. The rate is the Kaplan-Meier estimated percent probability.

    Measured: After 12 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective response rate is calculated as a percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (i.e CR+PR) as best unconfirmed response. Here CR and PR were determined by investigators by using RECIST/WHO/clinical evidence as investigators deemed appropriate.

    Measured: From the initial dose of study drug until end of the treatment period, up to 48 months.

  2. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Percentage of participants with controlled disease (CR + PR + stable disease (SD)) as best unconfirmed response. CR, PR and SD were determined by investigators by using RECIST/WHO/clinical evidence as investigators deemed appropriate

    Measured: From the initial dose of study drug until end of the treatment period, up to 48 months.

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was measured from start of therapy until progression or death, whichever came first. Progression was defined as the minimum of the first examination with progression and the date of progression documented by the treating physician. One day was added to the corresponding date. Patients without documented progression and not known to have died were censored at their date of last examination and one day was added. Median was derived by Kaplan Meier methods.

    Measured: From first administration of the trial drug until objective tumour progression or death, up to 48 months.

  4. Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Percentage of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).

    Measured: From first administration of the trial drug until 30 days end after permanent discontinuation of therapy or end of study, up to 48 months.

  5. Toxicity and Side-effect Profile: Incidence of Diarrhea, Skin Reactions, Stomatitis and Paronychia

    Toxicity and side-effect profile: incidence of diarrhea, skin reactions, stomatitis and paronychia. Skin reactions: acne, dermatitis acneiform, dry skin, pruritus, rash, rash maculo-papular, rash pustular.

    Measured: From first administration of the trial drug until 30 days end after permanent discontinuation of therapy or end of study, up to 48 months.

  6. Treatment Duration

    Duration of treatment with afatinib is calculated as Date of last administration + 1 day - Date of first administration.

    Measured: From the initial dose of study drug until end of the treatment period, up to 48 months.

  7. Symptom Control - Time to Worsening (Cough, Dyspnea and Pain)

    Symptom control was evaluated for cough, dyspnea and pain. Time to deterioration was calculated from date of baseline European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) questionnaire until date of the EORTC questionnaire, where the first deterioration was measured. Patients without deterioration were censored at their date of last answered EORTC questionnaire, where the corresponding scale is evaluable. Participants had to select one answer on a scale ranging from 1=Not at All to 4=Very Much for questions 1 to 28 and 31 to 43 and on scale ranging from 1=Very Bad to 7=Excellent for questions 29 and 30. Afterwards, these scale scores were linearly transformed such that all scales ranged from 0 to 100, where higher scores represented higher level of symptoms.

    Measured: Up to 48 months

  8. Percentage of Participants With Treatment Modification

    Percentage of participants with treatment modification was calculated as percentage of participants with any dose reduction, dose escalation or any modification.

    Measured: From the initial dose of study drug until end of the treatment period, up to 48 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in Germany.

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 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 9 Jan 2020. 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 Germany. 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 9 Jan 2020). 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 (PFS) Rate After 12 Months (time frame: After 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02047903, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Jan 2020.
