What participants receive

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

  • TARCEVADrug

    Also called Erlotinib

    Tarceva (150 mg) is a pill you take once a day -- every day -- to help treat non-small cell lung cancer.

  • GemzarDrug

    Also called Gemcitabine

    GEMZAR by mixing it into a solution and giving it through a needle into a vein-called intravenous infusion (IV). This will take about 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Groupe Francais De Pneumo-Cancerologie at 23 sites in France.

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 15 inclusion and 16 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 1 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in France. 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.

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 1 Oct 2013.
