About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind Study of Ficlatuzumab Plus Erlotinib Versus Placebo Plus Erlotinib in Subjects Who Have Previously Untreated Metastatic, EGFR-mutated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and BDX004 Positive Label

Phase 2 multicenter, controlled, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ficlatuzumab versus placebo when administered with erlotinib in subjects with previously untreated metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC and BDX004 Positive Label.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2 multicenter, controlled, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ficlatuzumab versus placebo when administered with erlotinib in subjects with previously untreated metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC and BDX004 Positive Label.

Prior to screening, subjects will have tested positive for a sensitizing EGFR mutation to determine eligibility for treatment with erlotinib. During screening, subject serum samples will be tested using the investigational companion diagnostic (BDX004) test. Only those subjects who have a BDX004 Positive Label will be enrolled. Subject randomization will be stratified by EGFR mutation type and smoking status (ever versus never smokers). Subjects will be designated as never smokers if they have smoked less than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. Radiographic tumor assessment, to include CT or MRI of chest and abdomen, will be performed every 4 weeks for the first 8 cycles, and every 8 weeks thereafter, using the same imaging modality per subject. Safety assessments will be performed on an ongoing basis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression Free Survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first objective documentation of radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Approximately 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    To evaluate Safety and tolerability of ficlatuzumab plus erlotinib versus placebo plus erlotinib in subjects who have previously untreated metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC and a BDX004 Positive Label.

    Measured: Approximately 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ficlatuzumab and Erlotinib in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 47 sites in 7 countries.

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 19 inclusion and 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 47 sites in United States, Australia, Italy, Taiwan, South Korea and 2 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Oct 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) (time frame: Approximately 24 months). 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 22 Oct 2020.
