About this study

Official title: Multicenter Phase II Trial of OSI-774 (Erlotinib, Tarceva) in Patients With Advanced Bronchioalveolar Cell Lung Cancer.

RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib works in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the major objective response rate (partial response and complete response) in patients with advanced bronchoalveolar cell non-small cell lung cancer treated with erlotinib hydrochloride.

Secondary

  • Assess the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the duration of response and time to disease progression in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the median survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter study.

Patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Major objective response rate (complete response and partial response)

    Per Response Evaluation in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria v. 1.1: measurable lesions: complete response (CR) disappearance of target lesions, partial response (PR) > 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions

    Measured: At 4 weeks and then every 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Worst grade toxicity

    Number of patients with worst-grade toxicity at each of five grades (1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = life-threatening, disabling, 5 = death) following NCI Common Toxicity Criteria, v. 2. Drug is discontinued for disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient undergoes radiation or other chemotherapy, or withdraws from study

    Measured: weekly for 4 weeks, then every 8 weeks to discontinuation of drug

  2. Quality of life as measured by the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale for patients

    The Lung Cancer Symptom Scale for patients is a nine-item scale with 0 = lowest rating (least) to 100 = highest rating (worst) for the measurement of symptom burden for loss of appetite, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, activity, quality of life, lung cancer symptoms, and pain.

    Measured: baseline, every week for 5 weeks, and then every 4 weeks

  3. Survival

    Duration of time from date of study entry to death from any cause or to the last date the patient is known to be alive.

    Measured: from study entry to date of death or last date known alive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing erlotinib hydrochloride in people with Lung Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer 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?

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 4 Apr 2013. 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?

Major objective response rate (complete response and partial response) (time frame: At 4 weeks and then every 8 weeks). 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 4 Apr 2013.
