About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase 2 Study of Erlotinib Plus ARQ 197 Versus Erlotinib Plus Placebo in Previously Treated Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind phase 2 study designed to compare treatment with ARQ 197 plus erlotinib to erlotinib plus placebo in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The study will enroll patients who have had one prior chemotherapy regimen (other than erlotinib) for NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind phase 2 study designed to compare treatment with ARQ 197 plus erlotinib to erlotinib plus placebo in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The study will enroll patients who have had one prior chemotherapy regimen (other than erlotinib) for NSCLC. The study will evaluate progression-free survival between the two arms.

A total of 154 patients will be enrolled.

What participants receive

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

  • ARQ 197Drug

    Also called Tivantinib

    360 mg administered twice daily until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or other discontinuation criterion is met

  • ErlotinibDrug

    Also called Tarceva

    Erlotinib is a white, film coated tablet in strengths of 25, 100 and 150 mg administered once daily until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or other discontinuation criterion is met.

  • PlaceboDrug

    The placebo is provided as a capsule

Receives: Drug: Erlotinib; Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate progression free survival (PFS) in patients treated with erlotinib plus ARQ 197 versus erlotinib plus placebo

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluate overall survival (OS)

  2. Overall response rate (ORR)

  3. Safety of ARQ 197 in combination with erlotinib in patients with NSCLC

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ARQ 197 and Erlotinib in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by ArQule, Inc., a subsidiary of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, NJ USA) at 38 sites in 6 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 10 inclusion and 13 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 28 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Germany, Poland, Russia, Latvia and 1 more country. 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?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate progression free survival (PFS) in patients treated with erlotinib plus ARQ 197 versus erlotinib plus placebo. 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 28 Feb 2013.
