Trial summary

We hypothesize that Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors modulate tumor changes that may be reflected in the alteration of serum proteins. Study objectives are: To establish serum proteomic changes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving erlotinib or gefitinib. Read more about this study

About this study

We hypothesize that Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors modulate tumor changes that may be reflected in the alteration of serum proteins.

Study objectives are:

  • To establish serum proteomic changes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving erlotinib or gefitinib.
  • To identify a serum protein profile that predicts erlotinib or gefitinib sensitivity or resistance in NSCLC patients with and without EGFR mutations.
  • To study the toxicity of erlotinib or gefitinib by correlating clinical toxicity with serum protein profile.
Read the detailed description

Background:

Although some success has been achieved in identifying Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations as a molecular predictive marker of response in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), this strategy is likely only to be limited as not all responding patients have a mutation in their tumor and conversely, not all patients with a mutation were responders. Furthermore, as the development of resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as gefitinib, erlotinib is inevitable and poses a major clinical problem due to limited therapeutic options, the identification of a molecular profile that could predict sensitivity to erlotinib or gefitinib is warranted.

Hypothesis:

Using serum as an easily accessible biological fluid, we hypothesize that EGFR TKIs modulate tumor changes that may be reflected in the alteration of serum proteins.

Objectives:

  • To establish the serum proteomic changes in NSCLC patients receiving erlotinib or gefitinib.
  • To identify a serum protein profile that predicts erlotinib or gefitinib sensitivity or resistance in NSCLC patients with and without EGFR mutations.
  • To study the toxicity of erlotinib or gefitinib by correlating clinical toxicity with serum protein profile.

Significance:

An extensive profiling of the molecular circuitry affected by EGFR TKIs would be helpful in understanding the response and side effects of patients with NSCLC treated with erlotinib or gefitinib and could guide therapy and thus improve patient outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National University Hospital, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 0 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 Dec 2013. 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 Singapore. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

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 11 Dec 2013.
