About this study

Official title: A Study of Erlotinib (Tarceva®) Treatment in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Who Present Activating Mutations in the Tyrosine Kinase Domain of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor

This single arm, open-label study will assess the efficacy and safety of Tarceva (erlotinib) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Patients will receive Tarceva at a dose of 150 mg daily orally 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. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Among Erlotinib-Treated Participants With the EGFR Mutation

    PFS was defined as the time from the first dose of erlotinib to the first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. Tumor progression was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), which defines progression as a 20 percent (%) or greater increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions with an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm), or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PFS was calculated in months as [first event date minus first dose date plus 1] divided by 30.44.

    Measured: Per standard of care (every 3 months) until discontinuation for up to approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Erlotinib-Treated Participants With the EGFR Mutation With an Objective Response Per RECIST v1.1

    Objective tumor response was assessed by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 and recorded as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or unmeasurable. RECIST v1.1 defines CR as disappearance of all target lesions, with short-axis reduction to less than (<) 10 mm for any pathological lymph nodes, and PR as a 30% or greater reduction from baseline in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

    Measured: Per standard of care (every 3 months) until discontinuation for up to approximately 2 years

  2. Overall Survival (OS) Among Erlotinib-Treated and Untreated Participants

    OS was defined as the time from recorded diagnosis to death from any cause or last patient last visit. OS was calculated in months as [death date or last-known alive date minus diagnosis date plus 1] divided by 30.44.

    Measured: Per standard of care (every 3 months) until discontinuation for up to approximately 2 years

  3. Percentage of Participants Alive at 6 and 12 Months

    Death from any cause was documented at 6 and 12 months from recorded diagnosis. The percentage of participants alive at each timepoint was calculated as [number of participants alive divided by number enrolled] multiplied by 100.

    Measured: At 6 and 12 months

  4. Percentage of Participants With EGFR Mutation at Screening

    Participants were tested at Screening for the presence of activating mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of EGFR. The percentage of participants with mutation was calculated as [number of mutation-positive participants divided by number tested] multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Screening

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing erlotinib [Tarceva] in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 5 sites in Finland.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 2 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Finland. 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 2 Jun 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?

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Among Erlotinib-Treated Participants With the EGFR Mutation (time frame: Per standard of care (every 3 months) until discontinuation for up to approximately 2 years). 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 2 Jun 2015.
