About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Non-interventional Evaluation of Symptoms Improvement of First-Line Therapy of EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor in Advanced NSCLC Patients With Positive EGFR Mutation - the SMILE Study

This is an open-label, non-interventional, single-arm, multicenter study in a real-world population to assess the clinically symptom improvement and quality of life (QoL) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and positive EGFR mutation who receive EGFR-TKIs as the first-line treatment.

The Primary Objective is to estimate symptom improvement rates in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and positive EGFR mutation who receive EGFR-TKIs as the first-line treatment. A clinically meaningful improvement is defined as an increase from baseline of 2 or more points for LCS (Lung Cancer Scales) at Week 4.

Read the detailed description

The Secondary Objectives are:

  1. To estimate symptom improvement rates at weeks 2 and 12
  2. To estimate mean change from baseline in overall QoL scores using the FACT-L instrument and LCS score at Week 2, 4 and 12.
  3. To estimate the proportion of patients exhibiting an LCS change of 7 points or more at weeks 2, 4 and 12.
  4. Subgroup information of symptom improvement rate, QoL and disease-related symptom scores by gender, smoking status, smoking pattern, WHO performance, number of metastatic sites, female/never smokers and patients with COPD at week 2, week 4 and week 12.

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients demonstrating a clinically meaningful improvement post 4 weeks of EGFR-TKI therapy defined as an increase in LCS ≥ 2 points from baseline.

    LCS is Lung Cancer Scale

    Measured: 15 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The proportion of patients demonstrating a clinically meaningful improvement post 2 weeks and 12 weeks of EGFR-TKI therapy as defined as an increase in LCS ≥ 2 points from baseline.

    Measured: 15 months

  2. Mean change from baseline to Week 2, 4 and 12 in FACT-L, TOI and LCS.

    FACT-L is Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung questionnaire. TOI is Treatment Outcome Index. LCS is Lung Cancer Scale.

    Measured: 15 months

  3. The proportion of patients demonstrating a clinically meaningful improvement post 2, 4 and 12 weeks of EGFR-TKI therapy as defined as an increase in LCS ≥ 7 points from baseline.

    LCS is Lung Cancer Scale

    Measured: 15 months

  4. Descriptive statistics in improvement rate (defined as LCS ≥ 2 points changed from baseline), QoL and disease-related symptom scores at week 2,4 and 12 and summarized by gender, smoking status, smoking pattern, WHO performance status, etc

    Measured: 15 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 23 Sep 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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?

The proportion of patients demonstrating a clinically meaningful improvement post 4 weeks of EGFR-TKI therapy defined as an increase in LCS ≥ 2 points from baseline. (time frame: 15 months). 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 Sep 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
