About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Erlotinib (Tarceva® ) Therapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) , Subtype Adenocarcinoma, Who Have Good Performance Status (PS 0-1) - ELEMENT

This multicenter, observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tarceva (erlotinib) in participants with locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer and an ECOG performance status of 0-1. Eligible participants receiving Tarceva according to the Summary of Product Characteristics and local label will be followed for the duration of their treatment.

Being tested
Erlotinib 150 mg

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from initial dose of erlotinib to progression or death from any cause.

    Measured: Approximately 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Overall Response

    Overall response was defined, based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (RECIST) v 1.1, as complete response (CR) plus partial response (PR). CR: complete disappearance of all target lesions; PR: at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of all target lesions.

    Measured: Approximately 3 years

  2. Proportions of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs, and AEs of Special Interest (AESIs)

    An AE was considered any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Preexisting conditions that worsened during the study and laboratory or clinical tests that resulted in a change in treatment or discontinuation from study drug were reported as adverse events. A SAE was any experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect or precaution that: results in death, is life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant, according to national cancer institute (NCI) common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) criteria version 4.0. An AESI was defined as interstitial pulmonary disease.

    Measured: Baseline up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 5 sites in Serbia.

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 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Serbia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 May 2017). 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?

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Approximately 3 years). 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 4 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
