  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer with the presence of 1-3 intraparenchymal brain metastases.
  • A contrast-enhanced MRI demonstrating the presence of 1-3 brain metastases performed within two weeks prior to registration.
  • The contrast-enhancing intraparenchymal brain tumor must be well circumscribed and must have a maximum diameter of ≤ 4.0 cm in any direction on the enhanced scan. If multiple lesions are present and one lesion is at the maximum diameter, the other(s) must not exceed 3.0 cm in maximum diameter.
  • Patients who present with symptoms of brain metastases at the time of initial diagnosis are eligible and do not need to demonstrate one month of stable scans.
  • Age 18 years or older.
  • Zubrod 0-1

  • Neurologic Function Status 0, 1, or 2.
  • Patients may have stable extracranial metastases.
  • Contrast-enhancing CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, and bone scan to determine the extent of extracranial malignant disease.
  • Adequate bone marrow reserve
  • Patients randomized to receive erlotinib who are on enzyme inducing seizure medicines including phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampicin, barbiturates must be converted to a nonenzyme inducing anti-seizure medication. Patients on Arm 3 will not be able to start treatment immediately if converting.
  • Patient must sign a study-specific informed consent form. If the patient's mental status precludes his/her giving informed consent, written informed consent may be given by the patient's legal representative.
  • -

Who cannot join

  • Major medical illnesses or psychiatric impairment
  • Patients who have undergone a complete resection of all known brain metastases.Patients who have undergone subtotal resection are eligible providing residual disease is =/< 4.0 cm in maximum diameter.
  • Inability to obtain histologic proof of NSCLC.
  • Patients with leptomeningeal metastases documented by MRI or CSF evaluation.
  • Clinical or radiographic evidence of progression (other than the study lesion(s)) within one month prior to enrollment. (Patients who have brain metastases at initial presentation are eligible and do not need to demonstrate one month of stable scans).
  • Patients with metastases within 10 mm of the optic apparatus so that some portion of the optic nerve or chiasm would be included in the high dose SRS boost field.

  • Patients with metastases in the brainstem, midbrain, pons, or medulla.
  • Patients with liver metastases.
  • Previous cranial radiation.
  • Women who are pregnant or nursing

  • Any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease
  • Treatment with a non-approved or investigational drug within 30 days before Day 1 of studytreatment.

About this study

Official title: A Phase III Trial Comparing Whole Brain Radiation (WBRT) and Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) Alone Versus With Temozolomide or Erlotinib in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and 1-3 Brain Metastases

The objectives of the study is to determine if either temozolomide or erlotinib combined with WBRT and SRS improves survival as compared to WBRT and SRS alone.Ptients with histologically confirmed NSCLC with the presence of 1-3 intraparenchymal brain metastases will be randomized to 3 arms. All of the patients will receive WBRT and SRS. The patients of the arm 1 will receive radiation treatment only, the arm 2 patients will be treated with temozolomide and arm 3 patients will receive erlotinib

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Erlotinib, Temozolomide in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung and Neoplasm Metastasis, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 13 inclusion and 15 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 28 Feb 2006. 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 Israel. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Lina Veisenman (972-36977285), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

survival. 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 28 Feb 2006.
