About this study

Official title: Erlotinib With Concurrent Brain Radiotherapy and Secondary Brain Radiotherapy After Recurrence With Erlotinib in NSCLC Non-increased-intracranial-pressure Symptomatic Brain Metastases: A Prospective Multicenter Trial(TRACTS)

This project is aim to explore non-increased-intracranial-pressure symptomatic brain metastases of NSCLC, and if the OS of secondary brain radiotherapy after recurrence with Erlotinib is better than Erlotinib with concurrent brain radiotherapy. Treatment group are treated with Erlotinib until brain tumor progression, then gave brain radiotherapy, and continued to take Erlotinib till extracranial lesions progression. Control group are Erlotinib with concurrent brain radiotherapy, and continued to take Erlotinib after radiotherapy until recurrence or termination for other reasons.

Being tested
Erlotinib, concurrent brain radiotherapy, secondary brain radiotherapy
Keywords
Erlotinib, brain radiotherapy, NSCLC, brain metastases
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Brain Neoplasms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib, concurrent brain radiotherapy and secondary brain radiotherapy in people with Non-small-cell Lung Cancer and Brain Metastases, run by Wu Jieping Medical Foundation 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 14 inclusion and 7 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 23 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Huanjun Yang, Master (+86-21-64175590 ext. 6723, yanghj_1@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall survival (time frame: 3.5year). 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 Dec 2014.
