About this study

Primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are epithelial carcinomas with a high frequency of EGF-R expression. EGFR is an important regulator of tumour progression and proliferation in several types of cancer. Mechanism of action of Lapatinib in the EGFR and/or HER2 expressing oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells is attributed to inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis. Based on the data from oesophageal SCCs the investigators hypothesise that EGFR signalling pathway and its interactions play an important role in the SCC pathogenesis and represent a good therapeutic target from these tumours.

Primary Objectives:

Read more

To evaluate the tumour response macroscopically in patients with primary cutaneous SCC lesions and in concomitant SCC in situ (AK).

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate tolerability of a single dose regimen of systemic lapatinib therapy in patients with SCC as measured by time to first AE or SAE within the study period.
  • To investigate the molecular tumour response of squamous cell carcinoma lesions in patients under lapatinib treatment using a set of variables.
  • Trial with medicinal product

What is being measured

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

  1. Macroscopic evaluation of tumour response

    The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate the tumour response macroscopically in patients with primary cutaneous SCC lesions and in concomitant SCC in situ (AK) by documenting changes in quantity and two-dimensional measurements (mm).

    Measured: 84 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of tolerability

    Evaluation of tolerability of a single dose regimen of systemic lapatinib therapy in patients with SCC as measured by time to first AE or SAE within the study period

    Measured: 84 days

  2. Molecular evaluation of tumour response

    Investigation of molecular tumour response of squamous cell carcinoma lesions in patients under lapatinib treatment using a set of variables

    Measured: 84 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lapatinib in people with Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 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 Switzerland. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Macroscopic evaluation of tumour response (time frame: 84 days). 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 3 Dec 2014.
