What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) of Groups by FDG Response at Day 56

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of first erlotinib dose to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    PFS was compared between patients with FDG-PET response and patients without FDG-PET response, independent of CT response (per RECIST 1.0) at Day 56 of treatment with erlotinib.

    Mean of the percent changes in maximal standard uptake values (mSUVmax) from FDG-PET scans was used to define FDG-PET response. Based on European Organization for Research on the Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) definitions, an objective FDG-PET response was defined an mSUVmax <-25%.

    Measured: Time from first erlotinib treatment to disease progression on CT (per RECIST 1.0) or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 2 years

  2. PFS of Patients With FDG-PET Complete Response (CR)/Partial Response (PR) Versus FDG-PET Progressive Disease (PD) in Patients With Computed Tomography (CT) Stable Disease (SD) at Day 56

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of first erlotinib dose to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    PFS was compared between patients with FDG-PET response (Complete /Partial Responses) and patients with FDG-PET progression, within the subset of patients who demonstrated stable disease on CT (per RECIST 1.0) at Day 56 of treatment with erlotinib. FDG-PET response; defined as a mSUVmax from FDG-PET scans of <-25% and FDG-PET disease progression; defined as a mSUVmax >+25% or the development of a new lesion with a mSUVmax above background not explained by another cause.

    Measured: Time from first erlotinib treatment to disease progression on CT (per RECIST 1.0) or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 2 years

  3. Progression Free Survival of Groups by FLT Response at Day 56

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of first erlotinib dose to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    FLT-PET response was defined as a mSUVmax from FLT-PET scans <-25%.

    Measured: Time from first erlotinib treatment to disease progression on CT (per RECIST 1.0) or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 2 years

  4. Progression Free Survival of Patients With FLT CR/PR Versus FLT PD in Patients With CT SD at Day 56

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of first erlotinib dose to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    PFS was compared between patients with FLT-PET response and patients without FLT-PET response, independent of computed tomography (CT) response (per RECIST 1.0) at Day 56 of treatment with erlotinib.

    FLT-PET response was defined as a mSUVmax from FLT-PET scans <-25% and FLT-PET disease progression was defined as a mSUVmax from FLT-PET scans >+25% or the development of a new lesion with a mSUVmax above background not explained by another cause.

    Measured: Time from first erlotinib treatment to disease progression on CT (per RECIST 1.0) or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 2 years

  5. Overall Survival of Groups by FDG Response at Day 56

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of first erlotinib dose to death.

    Overall survival (OS) was compared between patients with FDG-PET response and patients without FDG-PET response, independent of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) computed tomography (CT) response at Day 56 of treatment with erlotinib. FDG-PET response was defined as a mSUVmax from FDG-PET scans <-25%.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG), 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine (FLT) and erlotinib HCl in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Genentech, Inc..

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 13 inclusion and 9 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 31 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 3 Oct 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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) of Groups by FDG Response at Day 56 (time frame: Time from first erlotinib treatment to disease progression on CT (per RECIST 1.0) or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 2 years). The study lists 8 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 31 Mar 2017.
