About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Phase II, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Safety and Activity of MetMAb, a Monovalent Antagonist Antibody to the Receptor Met, Administered to Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, in Combination With Tarceva (Erlotinib)

This is a Phase II, double-blind, randomized, multicenter trial designed to preliminarily evaluate the activity and safety of treatment with MetMAb + erlotinib versus erlotinib + placebo in second- and third-line Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Up to 180 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two treatment arms.

Being tested
Erlotinib HCl, MetMAb, placebo (0.9 % saline)
Keywords
Tarceva, Lung Cancer, NSCLC
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progression or relapse (as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) and assessed by the site radiologist or investigator) or death on study from any cause (within 30 days of last treatment).

    Measured: Time from randomization to the first occurrence of progression/relapse or death on study. (Up to 20 months)

  2. Progression-free Survival in Patients With Met Diagnostic-Positive Tumors

    Progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with Met Diagnostic-Positive tumors as determined by immunohistochemistry.

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progression or relapse (as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) and assessed by the site radiologist or investigator) or death on study from any cause (within 30 days of last treatment).

    Measured: Time from randomization to the first occurrence of progression/relapse or death on study. (Up to 20 months)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response

    Objective response (partial and complete response as determined using RECIST 1.0).

    Partial response was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter.

    Complete response was defined as disappearance of all target lesions.

    Measured: Start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence or death on study. (Up to 20 months)

  2. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response in Patients With Met Diagnostic-Positive Tumors

    Objective response (OR); partial and complete response as determined using RECIST 1.0 in patients with Met Diagnostic-Positive Tumors as determined by immunohistochemistry.

    Partial response was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter.

    Complete response was defined as disappearance of all target lesions.

    Measured: Start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence or death on study. (Up to 20 months)

  3. Duration of Overall Response

    Measured: Date of initial response until date of progression or death on study. (Up to 20 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib HCl and MetMAb in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Genentech, Inc..

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 18 Oct 2011). 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: Time from randomization to the first occurrence of progression/relapse or death on study. (Up to 20 months)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Mar 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
