About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial to Correlate Radiographic Response Induced By Gefitinib With Mutations in the Protein-Tyrosine Kinase Domain of the EGF Receptor Gene in Patients With NSCLC

The purpose of this research study is to:

  • see if gefitinib pills can shrink Stage 1 or 2 non-small cell lung cancers before surgery
  • see if your non-small cell lung cancer has a mutation in a certain part of the EGFR gene
  • see if patients whose tumor does shrink with gefitinib treatment are more likely to have a mutation in a certain part of the EGFR gene
  • see if the pattern of protein expression in the blood is related to the tumor's sensitivity or resistance to gefitinib treatment.
  • see if expression of certain genes in the tumor are related to the tumor's sensitivity or resistance to gefitinib treatment.
Read the detailed description

This is a phase II, single institution trial to correlate gefitinib response and mutations in the protein-tyrosine kinase domain of the EGF receptor gene. The study will be conducted in patients with Stage I and II NSCLC who have been determined to be operable and resectable.

Patients must have 1 or more of the following features: never smoker or smoking history of < 15 pack years and/or features of bronchioloalveolar lung cancer. 50 patients will be enrolled on this study. Treatment will be with gefitinib for at least 21 days before surgery (depending on the timing of the surgery). Patients will discontinue gefitinib 2 days before their operation. For patients that demonstrate a radiographic response to gefitinib preoperatively and /or patients with mutations in the protein-tyrosine kinase domain of the EGF receptor gene (identified from the surgical sample), gefitinib will continue for 2 years post-surgery. Patients who do not have evidence of radiographic response or mutations in the protein-tyrosine kinase domain of the EGF receptor gene will be removed from the study.

What participants receive

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

  • GefitinibDrug

    Patients will receive gefitinib 250 mg po daily for at least 21 days preoperatively (depending on the timing of the surgery). Treatment with gefitinib will be stopped 2 days before the date of surgery.

    Patients who have had at least a minor response to gefitinib therapy preoperatively (> 25% reduction in tumor measured bidimensionally) and / or have mutations in the protein-tyrosine kinase domain of the EGF receptor gene identified will continue on the study and will resume gefitinib treatment after at least 7 days from surgery providing adequate wound healing has occurred.

    Patients who are determined to be candidates for adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy by their treating physician may receive treatment with adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The post-operative gefitinib will be started after completion of the chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Radiographic Response to Gefitinib

    Radiographic response is defined as a minor response ( > 25% decrease in the sum of the products of measured lesions)

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Microarray Analysis to Identify Gene(s) or Gene Clusters That Exhibit Changes in Gene Expression; Time to Relapse and Overall Survival Data

    Each patient provides two binary variables: presence/absence of mutation and responder/non responder. The association between the two will be tested using the Fisher's exact test for the resulting 2x2 table.Changes in expression levels within a patient will be assessed using a paired t-test. Similarly differences in expression levels between responders and non-responders will be assessed using a two-sample t-test. Appropriate adjustment will be made for the multiple comparisons problem that arises because there are over 21,000 probe sets on the U133A array.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gefitinib in people with Lung Cancer and Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 6 inclusion and 3 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 22 Jan 2016. 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 22 Jan 2016). 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?

The Radiographic Response to Gefitinib (time frame: 21 days). 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 NCT00588445, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Jan 2016.
