About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial Evaluating Addition of Fulvestrant to Erlotinib in Patients With Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC Who Are Stable on Erlotinib and Exhibit Positivity for Estrogen or Progesterone Receptor

The main purpose of this research study is to see if adding fulvestrant (Faslodex) to erlotinib (Tarceva) is effective in patients with stage IIIb/IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Read the detailed description

Erlotinib is an oral drug which is able to block endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGFR stimulates cancer cell growth. Fulvestrant (faslodex) block estrogen hormone from gaining access to tumor and stimulating the tumor cells to grow. Both of these drugs are already approved by FDA but have not been studied in this combination.

We will study if the combination of these drugs will delay treatment failure. Lung cancer tumors in both males and females can be sensitive to estrogen. Only patients whose tumor expresses the estrogen will be eligible for the trial. Estrogen sensitivity will be tested on previously removed tumor specimens.

What participants receive

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

  • Fulvestrant and ErlotinibDrug

    Also called Faslodex and Erlotinib

    Upon enrollment, patients will continue to receive erlotinib daily orally at 150 mg/day or at 100 mg/day if 150 mg was associated with adverse events requiring dose reduction before enrollment in this study. Doses less than 100 mg/day will not be allowed. Fulvestrant will be added intramuscularly 500 mg Day 0, 250 mg Days 14 and 28. In cycles 2 and up, fulvestrant will be given 250 mg on day 28. Patients will receive this therapy until they progress.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fulvestrant and Erlotinib in people with Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Lyudmila Bazhenova, M.D. 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 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2017. 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 6 Jun 2017). 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 (time frame: 14 weeks after start of fulvestrant). 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 6 Jun 2017.
