About this study
Official title: An Open Explorative Phase II, Open Label Study of Afatinib in the Treatment of Advanced Cancer Carrying an EGFR, a HER2 or a HER3 Mutation
Objective(s):To investigate the efficacy and safety of afatinib in EGFR, HER 2 and HER3 mutated cancers, regardless of cancer type, excluding EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer.
Methodology:Open label, genomic driven trial (basket trial)

No. of patients total entered:Optimal Simon two stage design for the three genetic driven cohorts: 10 patients will be enrolled per cancer type in the first stage and an additional 19 in the second stage (maximum total 87 patients)
Indication : cancers harbouring an EGFR mutation(excluding non-squamous non- small cell lung cancer, a registered indication), a HER2 mutation or a HER3 mutation
Test product(s) : Afatinib At progression paclitaxel will be added for those patients that have no contra-indications
dose: Starting dose of afatinib at 40 mg/day. Dose increase to 50 mg in the absence of adverse events. Stepwise dose reduction to 30,20, 10 mg/day according to drug-related adverse events.
At progression, addition of paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 weekly 3w/4 to afatinib 40 mg/day .
mode of admin. : Oral for afatinib Intravenous for paclitaxel
Duration of treatment: Continuous treatment until progression or unacceptable adverse events or withdrawal of consent.
At disease progression, add paclitaxel until progression or unacceptable adverse event or withdrawal of consent if no contra-indications.
Criteria for efficacy: Primary Endpoint:
- Response rate (CR+ PR) via RECIST v1.1
Secondary Endpoints:
- Disease control rate (CR+PR+SD)
- Progression free survival
- Overall survival
- To correlate tumor response with findings on tumor biopsies
- To investigate resistance mechanisms
- response rate (CR+ PR) determined by RECIST and progression free survival on the combination therapy of afatinib and paclitaxel
Criteria for safety: Incidence and intensity of adverse events according CTCAE v4.0
- Being tested
- Afatinib, Paclitaxel

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Afatinib and Paclitaxel in people with Cancers Harbouring an EGFR Mutation, (Excluding Non-squamous Non- Small Cell Lung Cancer, a Registered Indication), a HER2 Mutation or a HER3 Mutation, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 5 sites in Belgium.
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 7 inclusion and 4 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 22 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in Belgium. 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 Lore Decoster, Dr (+32 2 477 64 15, lore.decoster@uzbrussel.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Response rate (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
