About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of a Proteomic Signature Developed to Identify Patients Likely to Benefit From Erlotinib (TarcevaTM), an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Used in the Treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The aim of this study is to determine prospectively the value of a recently identified proteomic signature in identifying those patients with lung cancer, who are likely to benefit from and respond favourably to erlotinib therapy.

This is a prospective study of serum proteomics as a predictor of response to erlotinib therapy.

Read the detailed description

Screening/Baseline

  1. Routine blood tests (Haematology and Biochemistry) as per hospital practice
  2. Research serum sample for proteomic studies (10ml blood sample)
  3. Routine pre-treatment CT but with formal RECIST/WHO measurements of tumour size

2 months Post Commencement of Treatment with erlotinib: Routine CT with RECIST/WHO assessment

4 months Post Commencement of Treatment with erlotinib: Routine CT with RECIST/WHO assessment

1 year Post Commencement of Treatment with erlotinib (as per current standard of care): Routine CT with RECIST/WHO assessment

Response Assessment: CT scans at baseline, at 2 and 4 months post commencement of therapy and one year after treatment with erlotinib will be analyzed with the emphasis on identification of disease progression.

Follow Up: Subsequent follow-up as per routine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Value of a recently identified proteomic algorithm

    Routine CT with RECIST/WHO assessment

    Measured: Change in CT scans taken at baseline, 2 and 4 months post commencement of therapy and one year after treatment with erlotinib will be analyzed with the emphasis on identification of disease progression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Cancer Trials Ireland at 7 sites in Ireland.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 Ireland. 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.

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?

Value of a recently identified proteomic algorithm (time frame: Change in CT scans taken at baseline, 2 and 4 months post commencement of therapy and one year after treatment with erlotinib will be analyzed with the emphasis on identification of disease progression.). 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.
