What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Reporting an Adverse Event (AE) Leading to Dose Reduction of Afatinib

    On-treatment period = First administration of afatinib until progression or intolerable adverse events or other reasons necessitating withdrawal (participant's withdrawal of consent for study treatment, participant diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, participant no longer able to receive study treatments, participant had a significant deviation from the protocol or eligibility criteria).

    Measured: On-treatment period + 28 days (residual effect period), up to 1057 + 28 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Event = Diarrhoea of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 3 or Higher

    Percentage of participants with adverse event being diarrhoea of CTCAE grade 3 or higher.

    On-treatment period = First administration of afatinib until progression or intolerable adverse events or other reasons necessitating withdrawal (participant's withdrawal of consent for study treatment, participant diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, participant no longer able to receive study treatments, participant had a significant deviation from the protocol or eligibility criteria).

    Measured: On-treatment period + 28 days (residual effect period), up to 1057 + 28 days

  2. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Event = Rash/Acne (Grouped Term) of CTCAE Grade 3 or Higher

    Percentage of participants with adverse event = rash/acne (grouped term) of CTCAE grade 3 or higher.

    MedDRA preferred terms that described AEs of similar nature were grouped together as "grouped term" to ensure that important events would not be underestimated.

    On-treatment period = First administration of afatinib until progression or intolerable adverse events or other reasons necessitating withdrawal (participant's withdrawal of consent for study treatment, participant diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, participant no longer able to receive study treatments, participant had a significant deviation from the protocol or eligibility criteria).

    Measured: On-treatment period + 28 days (residual effect period), up to 1057 + 28 days

  3. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Event = Stomatitis (Grouped Term) of CTCAE Grade 3 or Higher

    Percentage of participants with adverse event = stomatitis (grouped term) of CTCAE grade 3 or higher.

    MedDRA preferred terms that described AEs of similar nature were grouped together as "grouped term" to ensure that important events would not be underestimated.

    On-treatment period = First administration of afatinib until progression or intolerable adverse events or other reasons necessitating withdrawal (participant's withdrawal of consent for study treatment, participant diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, participant no longer able to receive study treatments, participant had a significant deviation from the protocol or eligibility criteria).

    Measured: On-treatment period + 28 days (residual effect period), up to 1057 + 28 days

  4. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Event = Paronychia (Grouped Term) of CTCAE Grade 3 or Higher

    Percentage of participants with adverse event = paronychia (grouped term) of CTCAE grade 3 or higher.

    MedDRA preferred terms that described AEs of similar nature were grouped together as "grouped term" to ensure that important events would not be underestimated.

    On-treatment period = First administration of afatinib until progression or intolerable adverse events or other reasons necessitating withdrawal (participant's withdrawal of consent for study treatment, participant diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, participant no longer able to receive study treatments, participant had a significant deviation from the protocol or eligibility criteria).

    Measured: On-treatment period + 28 days (residual effect period), up to 1057 + 28 days

  5. Time to First Dose Reduction of Afatinib Caused by Adverse Events

    Time to first dose reduction of afatinib caused by adverse events is defined as time from the date of the first administration of afatinib to the date of first dose reduction of afatinib caused by adverse events. Participants without AEs leading to dose reduction were censored at date of last intake of afatinib.

    On-treatment period = First administration of afatinib until progression or intolerable adverse events or other reasons necessitating withdrawal (participant's withdrawal of consent from study treatment, participant diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, participant no longer able to receive study treatments, participant had a significant deviation from the protocol or eligibility criteria).

    The cumulative probability of no dose reduction at the respective time point is given by the Kaplan-Meier estimate at the respective time point based on time to first dose reduction of afatinib caused by adverse events.

    Measured: On-treatment period, up to 1057 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Afatinib in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung and ErbB Receptors, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 10 sites in United States.

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 10 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 30 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 30 Mar 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?

Percentage of Participants Reporting an Adverse Event (AE) Leading to Dose Reduction of Afatinib (time frame: On-treatment period + 28 days (residual effect period), up to 1057 + 28 days). 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 30 Mar 2020.
