About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of OSI-774 (Erlotinib, Tarceva) in Elderly Patients With Advanced Stage or Inoperable Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The purpose of this research study is to determine if OSI-774 (Tarceva) is effective in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and to further study its side effects. The investigators would also like to estimate disease-related symptom improvement rates using a questionnaire.

Read the detailed description

In recent years, it has been shown that the degree of improvement achievable with chemotherapy has plateaued with the use of chemotherapy doublets. The presence of co-morbid conditions and poor performance status may preclude the use of chemotherapy in many elderly patients, which even in the medically fit, has modest benefits. The advent of targeted cancer therapy with the discovery of tyrosine kinases as mediators of tumor growth, with its limited toxicity profile, offers a promising approach to the treatment of NSCLC, in particular to the elderly subset of patients. The encouraging results from the other trials provide a strong rationale to evaluate an oral EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor OSI-774 in patients with advanced and inoperable NSCLC over the age of 70. In vitro and clinical data suggest a dose- dependent response with Tarceva (Genentech, data on file).

OSI-774 (Tarceva)ExperimentalOral treatment with OSI-774 (Tarceva) will be given as a 150 mg tablets daily for 14 days. On day 15 and if there are no adverse effects the dose will be increased to 200 mg.
Receives: Drug: Tarceva

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Response

    The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date the recurrent or progressive disease is documented.

    Measured: 1-3 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v2.0

    Measured: 1-3 years

  2. Changes in Quality of Life (QOL): questionnaire

    This will involve participant response to a seven-item lung cancer subscale of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) questionnaire.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 years

  3. Rate of Progression free survival

    Progression free survival is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression.

    Measured: 1-3 years

  4. Duration of stable disease

    Stable disease is measured from the start of the treatment until the criteris for progression are met., taking as reference the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started.

    Measured: 1-3 years

  5. Overall Rate of Survival

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tarceva in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Montefiore Medical Center at 4 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 30 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

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?

Rate of Response (time frame: 1-3 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 30 Dec 2019.
