About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Randomized Study of Tarceva (Erlotinib) as a Single Agent or Intercalated With Combination Chemotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Tumors With EGFR Protein Overexpression and/or Increased EGFR Gene Copy Numbers

This will be the first prospective study where patients will be selected on the basis of two measures of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway. The study will assess prospectively the efficacy of erlotinib as a single agent or intercalated with chemotherapy in highly selected patients with EGFR overexpression and/or EGFR amplification.

What is being measured

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

  1. 6-month Progression-free Survival

    Percentage of patients who's disease had not progressed at 6 months. Disease progression defined as radiological and/or symptomatic disease progression or death in absence of progression.

    Measured: 6 months after first dose

Secondary outcomes (5)
  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, as assessed every 21 days (maximum 28.8 months)

  2. Overall Survival at 12 Months

    Percentage of patients alive after 12 months of study treatment

    Measured: 12 months from 1st dose

  3. Overall Survival

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

    Measured: From first study treatment until time of death (maximum 29.0 months)

  4. 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 larger than at baseline

    Measured: While receiving study treatment; assessed every 21 days until progression (maximum 28.8 months)

  5. Duration of Tumor Response

    Median length of time that tumor showed any type of response, ie, CR, PR, or SD

    Measured: While receiving study treatment; assessed every 21 days until progression (maximum 28.8 months).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tarceva, carboplatin and paclitaxel in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by OSI Pharmaceuticals at 43 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 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 43 sites in United States, United Kingdom. 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 14 Feb 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?

6-month Progression-free Survival (time frame: 6 months after first dose). 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 9 Aug 2012.
