About this study

Official title: Gefitinib Versus Combination of Gefitinib With Chemotherapy or Anti-angiogenesis as 1st Line Treatment in Advanced NSCLC Patients Detected With Bim Deletion or Low EGFR Activating Mutation Abundance:A Randomized, Multicentre, Phase II Study

This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase II clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of gefitinib versus combination of gefitinib and doublet chemotherapy or apatinib in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation (exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R point mutation), accompanied with Bim deletion or low activating EGFR mutation abundance.

Read the detailed description

BIM (bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death) deletion polymorphism and low EGFR mutation abundance were poor clinical response markers to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in NSCLC patients who had EGFR mutations.This is a phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of combination treatment for patients harboring above risk factors.

Advanced EGFR mutated NSCLC Patients with Bim deletion or EGFR low mutation abundance were randomized divided into following three treatment groups:

A: gefitinib 250mg Qd combined with doublet chemotherapy: pemetrexed (500mg/m²,day 1 ,intravenously) plus carboplatin (AUC=5,day 1,intravenously) every 21 days.

B: gefitinib 250mg Qd combined with apatinib 250mg/d intravenously per 21 days. C: gefitinib 250mg Qd

Being tested
gefitinib combined with chemotherapy, gefitinib combined with apatinib, gefitinib single agent

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression free survival

    From start of anti-cancer therapy until progression or death

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. overall survival

    evaluated in the 36th since treatment begain

    Measured: 36 months

  2. objective response rate

    Evaluated the rate of complete response and partial response in the 8 weeks since treatment began

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. disease control rate

    Evaluated the rate of complete response,partial response and stable disease in the 8 weeks since anti-cancer therapy

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. duration of response

    interval between the time which complete response or partial response happened and progressive disease or death

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. safety evaluation

    Safety observation indexes were listed as following: adverse events and serious adverse events (according to CommonTerminology Criteria Adverse Events Version 4.03), physical exam, vital signs(blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate,body temperature), weight variation, laboratory examination(hematology, blood biochemistry, urinalysis and so on), electrocardiograph(ECG),ultrasonic cardiogram(UCG), ect.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  6. compare quality of life

    Quality of Life Questionnaire(including QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13) evaluated since treatment began.At the end of the trial, the differences between the two indicators were compared with Mixed-effects model repeated measures (MMRM), where the baseline was scored as a covariant and the treatment group as a fixed variable. In addition, the baseline values of the two scores, the value of each visit, and the change value of the baseline were statistically described.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gefitinib combined with chemotherapy, gefitinib combined with apatinib and gefitinib single agent in people with Non-small-cell Lung Cancer, run by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. 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 15 inclusion and 21 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 3 Aug 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Caicun Zhou, MD (+8613301825532, caicunzhoudr@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression free survival (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 Aug 2020.
