About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Single Agent Erlotinib [Tarceva (TM), OSI-774] Versus Standard Chemotherapy in Patients With Previously Untreated Advanced NSCLC and a Poor Performance Status

The purpose of this noncomparative study is to obtain preliminary estimates of the efficacy of erlotinib and standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced, previously untreated nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 2. The study will also evaluate the safety of single-agent erlotinib in this patient population.

Being tested

    Erlotinib tablets administered orally, 150 mg/day (starting dose) or 100 mg/day (reduced dose), continuous therapy

  • Combination carboplatin and paclitaxelDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Median time until disease progression. Disease progression defined as radiological and/or symptomatic disease progression or death in absence of progression.

    Measured: Until time of disease progression (maximum 5 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Survival

    Median number of months from first study treatment until time of death

    Measured: From first study treatment until time of death (maximum 26.8 months)

  2. Best Tumor Response

    Change in size of tumor: Complete Response (CR) = no measurable tumor; Partial Response (PR) = 30% decrease in size of measurable tumor; Stable Disease (SD) = measurable tumor size has not changed; Progressive Disease (PD) = measurable tumor 20% larger than at baseline.

    Measured: While receiving study treatment (maximum 60 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tarceva (Trademark) (erlotinib HCl, OSI-774) and Combination carboplatin and paclitaxel in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by OSI Pharmaceuticals at 19 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 9 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Apr 2011). 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?

Progression-free Survival (time frame: Until time of disease progression (maximum 5 months)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00085839, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Aug 2012.
