Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histological or cytological diagnosis of NSCLC;
  • Patients considered operable and with resectable tumor with curative intent (anatomical resection and systematic lymph node dissection) based on evaluation by a thoracic multi-disciplinary team composed of at least a thoracic surgeon, oncologist and radiologist;
  • Stage I-III (T1a-3, N0-1, M0 according to UICC version 7) NSCLC by local staging criteria potentially treatable by radical (curative) surgery. Patients with T1 tumor at baseline will be limited to 20%;
  • Radiologically measurable disease according to RECIST criteria 1.1; assessed by chest and upper abdomen CT scan within 2 weeks (+1 week) prior to registration); brain CT scan or MRI according to local practice;
  • No prior treatment for NSCLC is allowed;
  • Adequate tissue in terms of quality and quantity for EGFR local testing.

Who cannot join

  • no adequate bone marrow function within 2 weeks prior to randomization
  • no adequate liver function. Patients with Gilbert's syndrome total bilirubin must be below 4 times institutional upper limit of normal; within 2 weeks prior to randomization
  • no adequate renal function within 2 weeks prior to randomization
  • known positivity to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or hepatitis C;
  • known history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition;
  • history of a hematologic or primary solid tumor malignancy, unless no evidence of that disease for 5 years, except pT1-2 prostatic cancer Gleason score < 6, superficial bladder cancer, non melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix;

About this study

Official title: Resectable EGFR Mutant NSCLC With (or Without) Afatinib as Neoadjuvant Treatment; REMNANT an Exploratory Study of the EORTC Lung Cancer Group

This is a multicenter, randomized, 1:1, non-comparative phase II trial. Patients with early stage NSCLC will be randomized between ARM A: neoadjuvant afatinib followed by surgery and ARM B: immediate surgery with curative intent.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, prospective, open-label, randomized, non-comparative, two-arm phase II trial aiming to evaluate afatinib treatment in pre-operative setting in patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC.

After signing of the informed consent, patients will be registered and screened for eligibility and upon confirmation of all eligibility criteria, patients will be randomized 1:1 to:

  • Arm A: once daily afatinib at a dose of 40 mg for 8 weeks followed by surgery with curative intent (anatomical resection and systematic lymph node dissection).
  • Arm B: immediate surgery with curative intent (anatomical resection and systematic lymph node dissection).

Response evaluation in the pre-operative arm will be performed through CT scans at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks.

The first 5 patients enrolled in arm A will be part of a safety run-in to check that afatinib treatment doesn't delay surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Afatinib and Immediate surgery in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Decrease in cT-stage (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 22 Jan 2016.
