About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label Study Comparing the Anti-tumor Effect of Treatment With Tarceva Plus Avastin Versus Chemotherapy Plus Avastin in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of Tarceva plus Avastin, and chemotherapy plus Avastin, in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either Tarceva 150mg p.o. daily plus Avastin 15mg/kg i.v. every 3 weeks, or standard platinum-based chemotherapy (4-6 cycles) plus Avastin. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Being tested
Erlotinib, Bevacizumab, Standard platinum-based chemotherapy
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death, from any cause. Progressive disease (PD) was defined according to Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (V) 1.0. For target lesions (TLs), progressive disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD), taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded since the start of treatment. For non-target lesions (NTLs), PD was defined as unequivocal progression of existing NTLs. Participants were censored at the date of last post-baseline (BL) tumor assessment where non-progression was documented. If no post-BL tumor assessment was available, the participant was censored at date of randomization.

    Measured: Screening, end of every 2nd cycle through Cycle 8 (21-day cycles), and every 12 weeks thereafter until the end of study and final analysis up to a maximum of 42 months.

  2. PFS

    The median time, in weeks, from randomization to PFS event. Participants were censored at the date of last post-BL tumor assessment where non-progression was documented. If no post-BL tumor assessment was available, the participant was censored at date of randomization. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology.

    Measured: Screening, end of every 2nd cycle through Cycle 8 (21-day cycles), and every 12 weeks thereafter until the end of study and final analysis up to a maximum of 42 months.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Died

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death, due to any cause. Participants were censored at final analysis at the date the participant was last known to be alive.

    Measured: Screening, Days 1, 8, and 21 of Cycles 1-8 (21-day cycles), and every 12 weeks thereafter until the end of study and final analysis up to a maximum of 42 months.

  2. OS

    The median time, in months, from randomization to OS event. Participants were censored at final analysis at the date the participant was last known to be alive.

    Measured: Screening, Days 1, 8, and 21 of Cycles 1-8 (21-day cycles), and every 12 weeks thereafter until the end of study and final analysis up to a maximum of 42 months.

  3. Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response (BOR) of Confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) According to RECIST V 1.0

    BOR was defined as the best response recorded from randomization until disease progression/recurrence or death, taking as reference for PD the smallest measurement (nadir) recorded since treatment started. Assignment of PR of CR required confirmation of tumor measurement changes by repeat assessments performed no less than 4 weeks after criteria for response was first met. For TLs, CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs; and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of the TLs, taking BL SLD as reference. For NTLs, CR was defined as the disappearance of all NTLs and normalization of tumor marker levels. The 95% CI for one sample binomial was calculated using the Pearson-Clopper method.

    Measured: Screening, end of every 2nd cycle through Cycle 8 (21-day cycles), and every 12 weeks thereafter until the end of study and final analysis up to a maximum of 42 months.

  4. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control According to RECIST V 1.0

    Disease control was defined as a BOR of CR, PR, or SD according to RECIST V 1.0 for at least 4 weeks at any time during randomized treatment or disease stabilization, after study entry. Participants without a post-BL assessment of response were considered as having no disease control. The 95% CI for the one sample binomial was calculated using the Pearson-Clopper method.

    Measured: Screening, end of every 2nd cycle through Cycle 8 (21-day cycles), and every 12 weeks thereafter until the end of study and final analysis, 12 months after the last participant's 1st visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib, Bevacizumab and Standard platinum-based chemotherapy in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 57 sites in 13 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 11 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 57 sites in South Korea, Spain, France, Netherlands, Taiwan and 8 more countries. 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 11 Nov 2014). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death (time frame: Screening, end of every 2nd cycle through Cycle 8 (21-day cycles), and every 12 weeks thereafter until the end of study and final analysis up to a maximum of 42 months.). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00531960, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Nov 2014.
