About this study

Official title: A Clinical and Pharmacologic Study of the Combination of Erlotinib and Bexarotene in Resectable Clinical Stage I-II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to learn the effects on lung cancer of 2 new drugs, Tarceva and Targretin, given in combination before surgical removal of the tumor. Tarceva is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for lung cancer. Targretin is approved for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. This combination of drugs is experimental.

Read the detailed description

Erlotinib 150mg and bexarotene 400mg/m2 will be administered orally for 7-9 days prior to thoracotomy. Plasma samples will be collected on the day before surgery and along with tissue samples on the day of the thoracotomy. Analyses will be done on the resected specimen and it will be compared to the pre-study diagnostic specimen.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Nov 2018). 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?

Number of Participants With Change in Expression Level of EGFR. (time frame: Baseline and 9 days). The study lists 3 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?
