About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Icotinib Combined With Whole Brain Radiotherapy in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases From Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and toxicity of icotinib combined with WBRT in treating patients with multiple brain metastases from NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

Brain metastases occur in 25-40% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is one of the primary reasons resulting in treatment failure and the death. Whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) is the standard approach to the treatment of multiple brain metastases from NSCLC. Regardless of the treatment of brain metastases by WBRT combined with systemic chemotherapy,outcomes of NSCLC with brain metastases are still very poor. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) can pass through the blood-brain barrier and show promising antitumor activity against brain metastases from NSCLC. Icotinib shows nearly the same effect as gefitinib in advanced NSCLC patients failed with chemotherapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IcotinibDrug

    Patients will receive whole brain radiotherapy therapy 30Gy over 10 fractions and icotinib will be administered at the beginning of whole brain radiotherapy in doses of 125 mg thrice per day until disease progression or undue toxicity.

Study groups in NCT01514877
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Icotinib plus Whole Brain RadiotherapyExperimentalEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as gefitinib and erlotinib, have shown efficacy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases (BM). Icotinib is a new first generation EGFR-TKI. We conducted a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotinib in combination with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in Chinese NSCLC patients with BM and investigated the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/ plasma concentrations of icotinib.
Receives: Drug: Icotinib

What is being measured

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

  1. partial response rate of intracranial lesions

    Partial response rate of intracranial lesions will be measured.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Progression-free survival will be evaluated

    Measured: 4 years

  2. overall survival

    Overall survival will be evaluated

    Measured: 4 years

  3. partial response rate of extracranial lesions

    Partial response rate of extracranial lesions will be evaluated

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Health-related quality of life

    Health-related quality of life will be measured

    Measured: 2 years

  5. safety and tolerability

    Safety and tolerability of Icotinib and whole brain radiotherapy will be monitored by evaluation of frequency,severity,and duration of treatment-emergent adverse events in all subjects

    Measured: 4 year

  6. the relationship between Progression-Free Survival and EGFR mutation status

    The relationship between Progression-Free Survival and EGFR mutation status will be evaluated.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Icotinib in people with Lung Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 13 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 23 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 1 site in China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

partial response rate of intracranial lesions (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01514877, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Jul 2014.
