Trial summary

The purpose of this Phase I study is to test the safety of combining afatinib with standard chemotherapy and radiation. The drug afatinib will be given before the chemotherapy and radiation therapy to shrink the tumor and evaluate how afatinib affects the patient. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Dose-Finding Study Of Afatinib In Combination With Cisplatin Or Carboplatin + Pemetrexed In Patients With EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancers Undergoing Definitive Chemoradiation

The purpose of this Phase I study is to test the safety of combining afatinib with standard chemotherapy and radiation. The drug afatinib will be given before the chemotherapy and radiation therapy to shrink the tumor and evaluate how afatinib affects the patient. This study will then test the safety of afatinib at different dose levels when combined with the chemotherapy drugs cisplatin or carboplatin, and pemetrexed. These treatments will be given during radiation treatment and the drug afatinib will be continued after chemotherapy and radiation.

What is being measured

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

  1. maximum tolerated dose

    This will be defined as the dose at which fewer than 1:6 patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. local control rate

    will be determined as the proportion of patients who start the concurrent phase who are alive and free of local failure.

    Measured: at 1 year and at 2 years

  2. tolerability of adjuvant afatinib

    Tolerability will be defined by in terms of dose reductions, delays and discontinuations of patients who have not had disease progression or death.

    Measured: at 3 months

  3. median progression free survival

    PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression of disease or death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. median overall survival

    will be calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates among all patients enrolled.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Afatinib, Cisplatin and Carboplatin in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

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 12 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

maximum tolerated dose (time frame: 1 year). 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 19 Dec 2013.
