About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Trastuzumab (Herceptin) for Advanced Stage (IIIB, IV), HER2 Overexpressing, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of trastuzumab in treating patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that overexpresses HER2. Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the activity of trastuzumab (Herceptin) in patients with stage IIIB or IV HER2-overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the duration of response in patients treated with this regimen. II. Determine the toxicity of this treatment regimen in this patient population.

III. Assess levels of circulating HER2 and correlate with HER2 expression in this patient population.

  1. Correlate circulating HER2 levels with non-small cell lung cancer tissue HER2 expression.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment continues once a week in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 8 weeks until disease progression or death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 84 patients (42 per stratum) will be accrued for this study within 17.5 months.

Being tested
trastuzumab, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR])

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    Kaplan-Meier curves will be used to describe OS.

    Measured: From registration until death or last known follow-up, assessed up to 5 years

  2. Failure-free survival (FFS)

    Kaplan-Meier curves will be used to describe FFS.

    Measured: Time between registration and disease progression, death, or last known follow-up, assessed up to 5 years

  3. Duration of response

    Kaplan-Meier curves will be used to describe duration of response.

    Measured: Time between the initial documentation of response and subsequent failure (death, disease progression), assessed up to 5 years

  4. Toxicity as assessed by NCI's Common Toxicity Criteria

    The frequency of occurrence of various toxicities will be tabulated by the most severe occurrence experienced by each individual patient.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  5. Relationship between HER2 expression in tumor tissue and serum

    A 95% confidence interval for this proportion will be estimated using the binomial distribution. The level of circulating HER2 receptor will be descriptively summarized with means, medians, quartiles, etc.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site 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 38 inclusion and 0 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 16 Jan 2013. 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 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Response rate (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) (time frame: Up to 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 16 Jan 2013.
