About this study

Official title: A Phase II Single-arm Trial of BIBW 2992 in EGFR FISH Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

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 EGFR FISH positive advanced NSCLC Stage IIIB or IV, selected according to the following scheme:

  • Forty (40) 1st line patients
  • Thirty (30) 2nd line patients Patients entered into the trial will be treated and followed until death or lost to follow-up. Additional information will be obtained on the safety profile and PK analysis of BIBW 2992.

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 until last response assessment 28NOV12.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Number of Participants With Objective Response (OR) Categorized by Time

    Cumulative number of participants with objective response by time points with responders.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at baseline (tumour assessment obtained within 4 weeks prior to beginning of treatment), week 8, and every 8 weeks until last response assessment 28NOV12.

  2. Duration of Confirmed Objective Response (OR)

    Duration of confirmed Objective Response is measured from the time of first Objective Response (OR) to the time of progression or death (or date of censoring for progression free survival).

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at baseline (tumour assessment obtained within 4 weeks prior to beginning of treatment), week 8, and every 8 weeks until last response assessment 28NOV12.

  3. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control (DC)

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

    Measured: Every 8 weeks until last response assessment 28NOV12

  4. Duration of Confirmed Disease Control

    Duration of Disease Control is measured from the time of first Objective Response to the time of progression or death (or date of censoring for progression free survival) or respectively for SD as the time from date of randomization to date that disease progression.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks until last response assessment 28NOV12

  5. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Time

    Progression Free Survival 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: Every 8 weeks until last response assessment 28NOV12

  6. Overall Survival (OS) Time

    Overall survival time is defined as time from the date of start of treatment to the date of death.

    Measured: Baseline until last vital status assessment 17JUN13

  7. Pre-dose Concentration of Afatinib in Plasma at Steady State on Day 15 (Cpre,ss,15)

    Cpre,ss,15 represents the pre-dose concentration of afatinib in plasma at steady state on day 15.

    Measured: Day 15

  8. Number of Participants With Clinical Relevant Finding in Gastrointestinal and Skin Disorder

    The safety of patients was overall assessed in terms of adverse events (AEs), graded according to US NCI CTCAE version 3.0 [R04-0474], including skin reactions and gastrointestinal AEs.

    Measured: First administration of trial medication until 28 days after last administration of trial medication, up until 194 weeks

  9. Number of Participants With Clinical Relevant Findings in Laboratory Safety Parameters, Vital Signs and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

    Number of participants with clinical relevant findings in Laboratory safety parameters, vital signs and Left ventricular ejection fraction . Relevant findings or worsenings of baseline conditions were reported as Adverse Events.

    There were no clinically relevant finding reported for Vital signs and Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

    Measured: First administration of trial medication until 28 days after last administration of trial medication, up until 194 weeks

  10. Assessment of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status

    Performance status assessed according to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status based on categories defined below :

    0 : Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction.

    1. : Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work.
    2. : Ambulatory and capable of all selfcare but unable to carry out any work activities. Up and about more than 50% of waking hours.
    3. : Capable of only limited selfcare, confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours.
    4. : Completely disabled. Cannot carry on any selfcare. Totally confined to bed or chair.
    5. : Dead.

    Note: The ECOG scores presented are assessed at the end of treatment not at baseline, hence the patients having ECOGs>2 are included.

    Measured: End Of Treatment, up until 190 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BiBW 2992 in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 13 sites in Italy.

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 14 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 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Italy. 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 17 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 until last response assessment 28NOV12.). 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 22 Jul 2014.
