About this study

Official title: Pemetrexed Disodium and Cisplatin Chemotherapy Combined With Synchronous Gefitinib vs Chemotherapy Alone as Adjuvent Therapy in Patient With Stage II-IIIA, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutant Expressing Lung Adenocarcinoma

This randomized phase III trial is studying gefitinib and synchronous pemetrexed/cisplatin chenmotherapy to see how well it works compared to pemetrexed/cisplatin chenmotherapy alone in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage II-IIIA(N1-N2) lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR activating mutation in Asian population.

Read the detailed description

Adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy is recommended for routine use in patients with stages IIA, IIB, and IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after complete resection. Cisplatin and pemetrexed combination is the standard regimen for lung adenocarcinoma in adjuvant setting. The BR. 19 trial reported adjuvant gefitinib after complete resection of early stage NSCLC(stage IB 49%, II 38%, III 13%) did not confer disease free survival(DFS) or overall survival(OS) advantage in overall population. While the median gefitinib treatment time is only 4.8 months. There are only 76 patients with EGFR mutations included in this analysis. The study closed prematurely in 2005.

Activating somatic mutations of the tyrosine kinase domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been characterized in a subset of patients with advanced NSCLC.The EGFR mutation rate was 30% in Chinese NSCLC. Patients harboring these mutations in their tumors show excellent response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). This randomized phase III trial is studying gefitinib and synchronous pemetrexed/cisplatin chenmotherapy to see how well it works compared to pemetrexed/cisplatin chenmotherapy alone in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage II-IIIA(N1-N2) lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR activating mutation in Asian population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease free survival

    To evaluate the disease free survival of synchronous therapy versus combination of Pemetrexed plus Cisplatin as adjuvant treatment for pathological stage II-IIIA(N1-N2) lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutation.Disease free survival (DFS)- defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: From date of randomization to the first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 3 and 5 years.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall survival

    To evaluate the overall survival of synchronous therapy versus combination of Pemetrexed plus Cisplatin as adjuvant treatment for stage II-IIIA(N1-N2) lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutation.

    Measured: From date of randomization to the first documented death, assessed up to 5 years.

  2. Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    The safety and tolerability profile of gefitinib at a 250 mg daily dose relative to that of Chemotherapy.

    Measured: In the period of Gefitinib 250 mg/day oral daily for 24 months. Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 intravenous infusion on day 1, Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on day 1 for 4 cycles.

  3. Quality of life

    Quality of life as measured by the total score and Trial Outcome Index (TOI) of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung Cancer (FACT-L) questionnaire.

    Measured: In the period of Gefitinib 250 mg/day oral daily for 24 months. Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 intravenous infusion on day 1, Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on day 1 for 4 cycles.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gefitinib and Pemetrexed in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by Tang-Du Hospital 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?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 15 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2015. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Contact Li Xiaofei, MD (+8629,84777436, lxfchest@fmmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease free survival (time frame: From date of randomization to the first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 3 and 5 years.). 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 10 Aug 2015.
