About this study

Official title: A Phase II Single-arm Trial of BIBW 2992 in Demographically and Genotypically Selected NSCLC

The primary objective of this open-label, single arm Phase II trial is to explore the efficacy of BIBW 2992 defined by the objective response rate (CR, PR) as determined by the RECIST criteria, in patients with advanced NSCLC Stage IIIB or IV whose tumours harbour activating mutations within exon 18 to exon 21 of the EGFR receptor, in patients with mutations in the HER2/neu receptor and in patients with EGFR FISH positive tumours with no EGFR mutations.

Being tested
BIBW2992, BIBW2992 + paclitaxel

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Best Objective Response

    Percentage of participants with best objective response: confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to RECIST version 1.0.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at baseline (tumour assessment obtained within 4 weeks prior to beginning of treatment), week 8, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control (DC)

    Percentage of participants with OR or stable disease (SD) as determined by RECIST version 1.0.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at baseline (tumour assessment obtained within 4 weeks prior to beginning of treatment), week 8, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Time

    PFS time defined as time from the start of treatment to the earliest of progression (RECIST), clinical progression (investigator), start of new anti-cancer treatment or death.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at baseline (tumour assessment obtained within 4 weeks prior to beginning of treatment), week 8, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

  3. Summary of Pre-dose Concentrations of Afatnib in Plasma

    Pre-dose Concentrations of Afatinib in Plasma at Steady State on Days 15, 29 and 57 (Cpre,ss,15, Cpre,ss,29 and Cpre,ss,57)

    Measured: Day 15, 29 and 57

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BIBW2992 and BIBW2992 + paclitaxel in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 7 sites in 2 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 9 inclusion and 20 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 26 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Belgium, Spain. 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 23 Oct 2013). 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 Best Objective Response (time frame: Tumour assessments were performed at baseline (tumour assessment obtained within 4 weeks prior to beginning of treatment), week 8, and every 8 weeks thereafter.). 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 NCT00730925, 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 26 Mar 2014.
