  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Inclusion Criteria:Patients with histologically documented, locally advanced or recurrent (stage IIIb and not amenable to combined modality treatment) or metastatic (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer.

Low abundant activating EGFR mutation: EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R, which are positive by real-time PCR methods and negative by standard sequencing methods.

Uncommon EGFR mutations are included excluding exon 20 mutations. ECOG performance status of ≤ 2. Patients can administer first line setting of platinum based chemotherapy. Patients must have measurable disease according to the RECIST (version 1.1) criteria.

  • Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Written (signed) informed Consent to participate in the study.
  • Adequate organ function as defined by the following criteria:

Liver function: SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) ≤ 2.5 X ULN in the absence of liver metastases or up to 5 X ULN in case of liver metastases. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5ULN.

Bone marrow function: Granulocyte count ≥ 1,500/mm3 and platelet count ≥100,000/mm3 and hemoglobin ≥90g/dl.

Renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 ml/min. (based on modified Cockcroft-Gault formula).

  • For all females of childbearing potential a negative serum/urine pregnancy test must be obtained within 48 hours before enrollment. Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential.

Exclusion Criteria:Patients with prior chemotherapy or systemic anti-cancer therapy including target therapy targeting HER family members (such as erlotinib, gefitinib, cetuximab, trastuzumab, etc). Previous adjuvant or neo-adjuvant treatment for non-metastatic disease is permitted if completed ≥ 6 months before the enrollments.

  • Patients with history of any other malignancies within 5 years (except for adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal or squamous cell skin cancer).
  • Patients who have brain metastasis or spinal cord compression. It is permitted if the patient has been treated with surgery and/or radiation with evidence of stable disease for at least 4 weeks.
  • Patients who are at risk (in the investigator's opinion) of transmitting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through blood or other body fluids.
  • Nursing or lactating women.
  • Sexually active males and females (of childbearing potential) unwilling to practice contraception during the study.
  • Unwilling to write informed consent to participate in the study.

About this study

Official title: Intercalated Combination of Chemotherapy and Erlotinib in 1st Line Setting for Patients Advanced Stage Non-small-cell Lung Cancer With Low Abundant Activating EGFR Mutation(INNOVATE)

This is a single arm phase II clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intercalated combination of doublet chemotherapy of paclitaxel plus carboplatin and erlotinib on patients with advanced stage non-small-cell lung cancer with low abundant activating EGFR mutation.

Read the detailed description

Primary therapy stage:

Paclitaxel Patients receive six cycles of Paclitaxel (175 mg/m² on days 1 of a 4 week cycle, intravenously) plus carboplatin (AUC=5, intravenously on day 1 of a 4 week cycle, intravenously) with sequential erlotinib (150 mg/day) on days 8-21 of each cycle.

Maintenance therapy stage:

Patients, who complete 6 cycles of therapy without progression or intolerable toxicity, receive erlotinib (150 mg/day) as maintenance therapy until progression, intolerable toxicity or death.

Being tested
Intercalated combination of chemotherapy and erlotinib

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Toxicities related to anti-cancer therapy

    From start of anti-cancer therapy till progression of death

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intercalated combination of chemotherapy and erlotinib in people with Non-small-cell Lung Cancer, run by Guangdong Association of Clinical Trials at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 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 1 site 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. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Because of the very slow enrollment, this study was stopped.). Results are not available in the source record.

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 defined by imagery methods (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 3 Mar 2017.
