About this study

Official title: A Phase Ⅱ Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Vinorelbine-ifosfamide With Gefitinib as Third-line Treatment in Advanced EGFR Gene Mutation Negative Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

In the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline for NSCLC, epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is recommended as the third-line treatment for EGFR gene mutation negative NSCLC patients who failed to the first-line platinum doublet chemotherapy [i.e. paclitaxel-carboplatin (PC) or gemcitabine-cisplatin (GP)] and the second-line chemotherapy with docetaxel or pemetrexed. But as we know, if patients had no EGFR gene mutation, EGFR-TKI treatment is not effective. The overall survival is short and the objective response rate is low. As for EGFR gene wild type patients with good performance status, besides EGFR-TKI treatment, other first generation cytotoxic drugs i.e. vinorelbine or ifosfamide maybe an alternative treatment. So the purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of vinorelbine-ifosfamide with gefitinib in advanced or metastatic EGFR gene mutation negative NSCLC patients.

Read the detailed description

Ifosfamide is a first generation cytotoxic drug to treat NSCLC. Phase Ⅱ studies demonstrated that single-agent ifosfamide administrated by various schedules produces response rates of 15-29%, with media survival times of 5-7 months. Ifosfamide has also been used in various combination regimens to treat NSCLC, including platinum based and non-platinum regimens. But in refractory NSCLC patients platinum and some third generation cytotoxic drugs have been used before. So in this study, ifosfamide is combined with vinorelbine. In previous study, Masters reported the objective response rate was 40% and the median survival duration was 50 weeks, with a 1-year survival rate of 48% with vinorelbine-ifosfamide regimen [Vinorelbine 15 mg/m2 on days 1-3, and ifosfamide 2.0g/m2 on days 1-3 with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) support]. The dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of this regimen is myelosuppression. In our experience, the regimen of vinorelbine 25mg/m2 d1, d8 and ifosfamide 1.25g/m2 d1-d3 with Mesna uroprotection is safe in Chinese population and the objective response rate is about 7% (data not published).

Gefitinib is the first small molecule inhibitor that has directed activity towards EGFR and has shown appreciable response rates in phase Ⅱ trials of patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC. In the posterior analysis of Iressa Dose Evaluation in Advanced Lung Cancer (IDEAL) and IRESSA Survival Evaluation in Lung Cancer (ISEL) trials, the response rate with gefitinib ranges from 2.6% to 10% in wild-type EGFR gene NSCLC patients.

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 52 weeks.

    Measured: up to 52 weeks (about one year)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival

    From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 100 weeks.

    Measured: Up to 100 weeks

  2. objective response rate

    The objective response rate includes the complete remission and partial remission rate.

    Measured: up to 9 weeks

  3. the score of functional assessment of cancer treatment-lung (FACT-L)

    FACL-L is assessed at different time points.(Date of randomization, 1 week after chemotherapy/EGFR-TKI, every cycle of chemotherapy/EGFR-TKI, every month of EGFR-TKI treatment/observation, up to 100 weeks)

    Measured: Up to 100 weeks

  4. Number of participants with adverse events

    The adverse events are assessed by National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria (Version 3.0) (NCI-CTC).

    Measured: Up to six months

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 11 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2012. 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.
