About this study

Official title: A Multi-centre, Open-label, Phase IV, Interventional Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Erlotinib (Tarceva®) Following 4 Cycles of Platinum-based Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Who Have Not Experienced Disease Progression or Unacceptable Toxicity During Chemotherapy

This open-label, single-arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tarceva (erlotinib) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who have completed 4 cycles of standard platinum-based chemotherapy without progression. Patients will receive Tarceva at a dose of 150 mg orally daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Progression-free Survival at Week 52

    A participant had progression-free survival if they did not have disease progression and were alive. Tumor assessments were done by magnetic resonance imaging according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since treatment started or the unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 2 lesions per organ and 5 lesions in total, representative of all involved organs, should be identified as target lesions at Baseline. Target lesions should be selected on the basis of their size (lesions with the longest diameter) and their suitability for accurate repeated measurements (either by imaging techniques or clinically). A sum of the longest diameter for all target lesions will be calculated and reported as the Baseline sum longest diameter.

    Measured: From the date of enrolment in the study until the date of disease progression or death from any cause (up to 2 years, 6 months).

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of enrolment to the date of disease progression (PD) or death, whichever occurred first. Tumor assessments were done by magnetic resonance imaging according to RECIST v1.1. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions (TL), taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since treatment started or the unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs. All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 2 lesions per organ and 5 lesions in total, representative of all involved organs, should be identified as TLs at Baseline. TLs should be selected on the basis of their size (lesions with the longest diameter) and their suitability for accurate repeated measurements (either by imaging techniques or clinically). A sum of the longest diameter for all TLs will be calculated and reported as the Baseline sum longest diameter.

    Measured: From the date of enrolment until the end of the study (up to 2 years, 6 months).

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of enrolment to the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: From the date of enrolment until the end of the study (up to 2 years, 6 months).

  3. Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response (CR) or a Partial Response (PR)

    A CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. A PR 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. All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 2 lesions per organ and 5 lesions in total, representative of all involved organs, should be identified as target lesions at Baseline. All other lesions (or sites of disease) should be identified as non-target lesions. Target lesions should be selected on the basis of their size (lesions with the longest diameter) and their suitability for accurate repeated measurements (either by imaging techniques or clinically). A sum of the longest diameter for all target lesions will be calculated and reported as the Baseline sum longest diameter. Tumor assessments were done by magnetic resonance imaging according to RECIST v1.1.

    Measured: From the date of enrolment until the end of the study (up to 2 years, 6 months).

  4. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control

    A participant with disease control was defined as a participant with either a complete response (CR), a partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD), as determined using RECIST v1.1. A CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions (TL). A PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of TLs taking as reference the Baseline sum longest diameter (SLD). SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD), taking as reference the smallest SLD since treatment started. For non-TLs, SD was defined as the persistence of 1 or more lesions. 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 unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs. A SLD for all TLs will be calculated and reported as the Baseline SLD. Tumor assessments were done by magnetic resonance imaging according to RECIST v1.1.

    Measured: From the date of enrolment until the end of the study (up to 2 years, 6 months).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Erlotinib in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 7 sites in India.

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 7 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 30 Mar 2015. 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 India. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 30 Mar 2015). 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 Progression-free Survival at Week 52 (time frame: From the date of enrolment in the study until the date of disease progression or death from any cause (up to 2 years, 6 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 30 Mar 2015.
