  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with advanced (inoperable stage IIIB or stage IV) NSCLC who had failed in platinum based chemotherapy

Who may be able to join

  • Histological or cytological documented diagnosis diagnosis of inoperable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic (Stage IIIB or IV) NSCLC.
  • Patients must have evidence of disease but measurable disease is not mandatory.
  • 18 years of age or older.
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0-2.
  • Life expectancy at least 12 weeks.
  • Patients with advanced stage IIIB/ IV NSCLC who have received at least one course of standard systemic chemotherapy or radiation therapy or who are in the investigator's opinion not medically suitable for chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Show all 15Show fewer
  • No more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens are permissible. Patients must have recovered from any toxic effects and at least 3-4 weeks must have elapsed from the last dose and prior to registration (14 days for vinorelbine or other vinca alkaloids or gemcitabine). Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, have fully recovered from surgery in less than 4 weeks may also be considered for the study. Patients must have recovered (CTC ≤ 1) from acute toxicities of any previous therapy.
  • Granulocyte count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L and platelet count > 100 x 109/L.
  • Serum bilirubin must be ≤ 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • AST and/or ALT ≤ 2 x ULN (or ≤ 5 x ULN if clearly attributable to liver metastasis.
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 ml/min.
  • Able to comply with study and follow-up procedures.
  • For all females of childbearing potential a negative pregnancy test must be obtained within 72 hours before starting therapy.
  • Patients with reproductive potential must use effective contraception.
  • Written (signed) Informed Consent to participate in the study.

Who cannot join

  • Any unstable systemic disease (including active infection, grade 4 hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, hepatic, renal or metabolic disease).
  • Prior therapy with systemic anti-tumour therapy with HER1/EGFR inhibitors (as small molecule or monoclonal antibody therapy).
  • Any other malignancies within 5 years (except for adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal or squamous cell skin cancer).
  • Patients are excluded if they have brain metastasis or spinal cord compression that is newly diagnosed and/ or has not yet been definitively treated with surgery and/ or radiation; previously diagnosed and treated CNS metastases or spinal cord compression with evidence of stable disease (clinically stable imaging) for at least 2 months is permitted.
  • Any significant ophthalmologic abnormality, especially severe dry eye syndrome, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, Sjogren syndrome, severe exposure keratitis or any other disorder likely to increase the risk of corneal epithelial lesions. The use of contact lenses is not recommended during the study. The decision to continue to wear contact lenses should be discussed with the patient's treating Oncologist and the ophthalmologist.
  • Patients who cannot take oral medication, who require intravenous alimentation, have had prior surgical procedures affecting absorption, or have active peptic ulcer disease.
  • Nursing mothers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Athens at 1 site in Greece.

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 15 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 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 Greece. 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?

Progression Free Survival (time frame: 24 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 8 Dec 2014.
