About this study

Official title: Evaluation of CSF Levels of Tarceva (OSI-774) in Patients With Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and No CNS Involvement Undergoing Treatment With Tarceva

RATIONALE: Determining whether erlotinib passes into the cerebrospinal fluid may help in planning treatment for some types of cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well erlotinib is able to pass into the cerebrospinal fluid of patients receiving erlotinib for stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the cerebrospinal fluid penetration of erlotinib in a subset of patients who are undergoing treatment with erlotinib for stage III non-small cell lung cancer and have no CNS metastatic disease.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot, nonrandomized study.

Patients will undergo single lumbar puncture (LP) to remove cerebrospinal fluid for analysis.

After completion of study, patients will be monitored for 1 month after LP to assess for any LP-related complications.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing antitumor drug screening assay in people with Lung Cancer, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2011. 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 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?

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?

CSF penetration as measured by CSF fluid via lumbar puncture on day 7 of treatment. 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 17 May 2011.
