About this study

Official title: A Phase II Open Label, Multicentre, Single Arm Study to Characterise the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Gefitinib 250 mg (IRESSA) as 3rd Line Treatment Re-challenge in Patients, Who Have Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutation Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Who Responded to Gefitinib in 1st Line and Progressed After 2nd Line Chemotherapy

the primary objective is to characterise the impact of gefitinib on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) based assessments; objective response rate (ORR ; confirmed complete response(CR) or partial response (PR)) and disease control rate (DCR; confirmed complete response(CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD)) in patients with EGFR M+ NSCLC

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate

    Objective Response Rate is the sum of Complete response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) response.

    Evaluated by recist criteria v 1.1., for target lesions and assesed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disapperance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR),>=30% decrease in the sum of longest diamteter of target lesions; Objective response rate (RR)=CR+PR

    Measured: every 6 weeks after the Start of Study Treatment until objective disease progression or time of data cut off (6 months after the last patient has started study treatment)

  2. Clinical Benefit Rate

    Clinical benefit rate is the sum of patients with a best visit response of Complete Response, Partial Response or Stable Desease Objective Response Rate is the sum of Complete response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) response.

    Evaluated by recist criteria v 1.1., for target lesions and assesed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disapperance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR),>=30% decrease in the sum of longest diamteter of target lesions, Stable Desease (SD) defined as no progression for>= 6 weeks. Objective response rate (RR)=CR+PR

    Measured: every 6 weeks after the Start of Study Treatment until objective disease progression or time of data cut off (6 months after the last patient has started study treatment)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression Free Survival

    Progression free Survival was calculated as the time from the first dose of gefitinib study treatment until the date of (i) progression or (ii) death from any cause in the absence of progression.

    Measured: every 6 weeks after the Start of Study Treatment until objective disease progression or time of data cut off (6 months after the last patient has started study treatment)

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was calculated as the time from the first dose until the day of death from any cause. Any patient not known to have died at the time of data analysis was censored at the time of the last follow-up date.

    Measured: every 6 weeks after the Start of Study Treatment until death or time of data cut off (6 months after the last patient has started study treatment)

  3. Treatment Duration With Gefitinib

    Treatment duration was calculated from the date of the first to the date of the last intake.

    Measured: every 6 weeks after the Start of Study Treatment until discontinuation of drug or time of data cut off (6 months after the last patient has started study treatment)

  4. Time to Worsening of Disease Related Symptoms

    Time to worsening of disease related symptoms (LCS) Time to worsening of disease-related symptoms based on FACT-L LCS was defined as the interval from the date of enrollment to the first visit response of 'worsened' without a subsequent response of 'improved' or 'no change' within 21 days (or to the last assessment), death due to any cause, or early discontinuation from the study. Time to worsening was censored at the last non-missing assessment visit if the worsening was not observed.

    Measured: every 6 weeks after the Start of Study Treatment until the worsening of desease related symptoms or time of data cut off (6 months after the last patient has started study treatment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gefitinib 250mg in people with Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 24 sites in Italy.

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 0 inclusion and 17 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 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in Italy. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Feb 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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: every 6 weeks after the Start of Study Treatment until objective disease progression or time of data cut off (6 months after the last patient has started study treatment)). 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 23 Feb 2016.
