About this study

Official title: A Non-interventional Study to Follow and Evaluate Patients With Advanced NSCLC Who Are Treated in Second Line Setting With Tarceva (Erlotinib) in a "Real Life" Clinical Setting

This observational study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tarceva (erlotinib) in routine clinical practice as second-line treatment in patients with recurrent or metastatic non-small dell lung cancer (NSCLC). Data will be collected from patients who have received 1 course of standard systemic chemotherapy, experienced disease progression, and who are receiveingTarceva in a second-line setting. Patients will also be followed through third-line treatment if there is disease progression on Tarceva therapy.

Being tested
Erlotinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response of Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Stable Disease (SD), or Progressive Disease (PD)

    The best overall response to treatment was determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. A CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions (TL) or the disappearance of all non-TLs. A PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of TLs, taking as reference the baseline SLD. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for a PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest SLD since treatment started for TLs and the persistence of 1 or more non-TL(s). PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD of TLs, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs. For the best overall responses of CR and PR, a response was "confirmed" if a subsequent RECIST evaluation also showed a CR or PR.

    Measured: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 4 years, 4 months)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to Disease Progression

    The time to disease progression was defined as the time from Baseline until disease progression as determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 4 years, 4 months)

  2. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival was defined as the time from Baseline until disease progression or death from any cause. Progressive disease was determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 4 years, 4 months)

  3. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from Baseline until or death from any cause

    Measured: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 4 years, 4 months)

  4. Change From Baseline in the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) Scores

    Study participants and treating physicians completed the LCSS, a measure of Quality of Life (QoL), at Baseline and throughout the study. The patient LCSS measures 6 major symptoms, the Symptom Burden Index (SBI), associated with lung malignancies (3 thoracic [cough, dyspnea, haemoptysis] and 3 general symptoms [loss of appetite, fatigue, pain]) and 3 additional scores (overall symptomatic distress, interference with daily activities, global QoL), each on a 100 mm visual analogue scale (0=no impairment, 100=maximum impairment). The physician LCSS evaluates the 6 lung malignancy associated symptoms, the SBI, on an ordinal scale (100=none, 75=mild, 50=moderate, 25=marked, 0=severe). The average of the patient and physician SBI scores (6 symptoms) and the average of the patient total score (9 symptoms) ranged from 0 to 100, with a higher patient and a lower physician score indicating more impairment. A negative patient and a positive physician change score indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 4 years, 4 months)

  5. Percentage of Participants Who Developed Rash

    At each study visit, the presence of skin rash was graded using the Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC), with grade 0 = no rash, grade 1 = mild, grade 2 = moderate, grade 3 = severe, and grade 4 = life threatening or disabling rash. Reported is the percentage of participants who developed a grade ≥ 1 rash.

    Measured: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 4 years, 4 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nonsquamous Nonsmall Cell Neoplasm of Lung, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 36 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 6 inclusion and 1 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 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 36 sites in Belgium, Luxembourg. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Mar 2016). 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 a Best Overall Response of Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Stable Disease (SD), or Progressive Disease (PD) (time frame: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 4 years, 4 months)). 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 Mar 2016.
