About this study

Official title: INST 0601C: A Non-Randomized Phase II Protocol of Erlotinib for Patients With Newly Diagnosed, Advanced Non-Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung

This study was conducted to compare the activities of erlotinib to that of intravenous, platinum-based therapy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal of this trial was to demonstrate clinical equivalence of erlotinib to platinum-based frontline therapy, compared to historical controls.

Read the detailed description

To compare the activities (the progression-free survival, the incidence and severity of toxicities, and reversibility of toxicities) of erlotinib to that of platinum-based therapy in NSCLC. A sequential therapy design has been chosen such that all patients will receive any potential benefits of both platinum-based and erlotinib therapy, without compromising survival by denying anyone potential therapy. With this design, progression-free survival will be tracked by treatment received. However, data will be generated which will show the safety and efficacy of erlotinib in the frontline setting (alone and with historical comparison to platinum-based therapy), as well as the potential safety and activity of platinum-based therapy in the "second-line" (post-erlotinib) setting. This should allow for the demonstration of the relative median time to progression, objective response and clinical benefit rates, overall survival, and safety and tolerability of erlotinib and platinum-based therapy in both the frontline and second-line settings in NSCLC. Also, in this fashion, the treatments serve as controls for each other, as well as being compared to historical controls; in the first line treatment portion, the platinum-based regimens serve as the historical control, while in the second-line setting, erlotinib serves as the historical control arm.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ErlotinibDrug

    Also called Tarceva, OSI-774

    Erlotinib will be administered for at least 2 cycles (6 weeks) and for a maximum of 8 months.

    Upon progression or intolerance to erlotinib, standard of care platinum-based chemotherapy (per the choice of the treating physician) is administered every 3 weeks. Physicians can adjust dose, schedule, or supportive care to the benefit of the patient

  • Platinum-based chemotherapyDrug

    Also called paclitaxel + platinum, docetaxel + platinum, vinorelbine + platinum, pemetrexed + platinum

    Intravenous chemotherapy combination per physician discretion every 3 weeks for at least 2 cycles

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Toxicity Profile

    Toxicities are assessed according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3.0. Toxicities are reported as the number of patients who experienced grade 3 or grade 4 adverse events after receiving at least one dose of on-study treatment.

    Measured: 28 days after last on-study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib and Platinum-based chemotherapy in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by New Mexico Cancer Research Alliance at 5 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 17 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Aug 2015). 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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 2 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
