What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Demonstrating the Safety and Tolerability of Long Term Erlotinib Treatment

    Number of participants who had the most frequently observed undesirable effects after exposure to study drug

    Measured: 12 - 24 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With Disease Free Status at 12 Months and 24 Months

    Percentage of participants who were disease free at 12 months (12 months after initiation of study drug treatment) and 24 months (12 months after completion of study drug treatment)

    Measured: 12 - 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Participants Demonstrating Survival at 12 Months and 24 Months.

    Percentage of participants who were still alive at 12 months following completion of study drug therapy and at 24 months following completion of study drug therapy

    Measured: 12 - 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham at 1 site 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 8 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 21 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 21 May 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?

Number of Participants Demonstrating the Safety and Tolerability of Long Term Erlotinib Treatment (time frame: 12 - 24 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?
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 21 May 2015.
