Who may be able to join

  • Female or male patients aged 18 years or over with locally advanced or metastatic stage IIIB/IV disease, not suitable for therapy of curative intent or stage IV (metastatic) disease, eligible for gefitinib re-challenge treatment for NSCLC who have already received an EGFR-TKI with a documented complete (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) >12 weeks as the best response to their 1st EGFR-TKI treatment and who have received any subsequent anti-cancer therapy (excluding EGFR-TKIs) treatment, including but not limited to doublet platinum based chemotherapy or docetaxel monotherapy or pemetrexed monotherapy, on which they progressed.
  • Measurable disease defined as at least one lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥ 10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have short axis ≥ 15 mm) with spiral CT or MRI and which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements.

  • Possibility of obtaining tumour material before the start of the study treatment.

Who cannot join

  • Known severe hypersensitivity to gefitinib or any of the excipients of the product treatment with no persistent radiation toxicity. Previous adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed.
  • Progressive disease or stable disease (SD) <12 weeks as best response to the 1st line treatment with an EGFR-TKI
  • Consideration to require radiotherapy to the lung at the time of study entry or in the near future
  • Past medical history of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial disease, radiation pneumonitis which required steroid treatment or any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease. Pre-existing idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis evidenced by CT scan at baseline
  • Known or suspected brain metastases or spinal cord compression, unless treated with surgery and/or radiation.
  • Any unresolved chronic toxicity greater than CTC grade 2 from previous anticancer therapy
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Concomitant use of known CYP 3A4 inducers such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampicin, barbiturates, or St John's Wort
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • As judged by the investigator, any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease (eg, unstable or uncompensated respiratory, cardiac, hepatic, or renal disease)
  • Evidence of any other significant clinical disorder or laboratory finding that makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study
  • Other co-existing malignancies or malignancies diagnosed within the last 2 years with the exception of basal cell carcinoma or cervical cancer in situ
  • Life expectancy of less than 12 weeks
  • Treatment with a non-approved or investigational drug within 30 days before day 1 of study treatment
  • Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both NVALT staff or staff at the study site)
  • Previous enrolment or treatment in the present study.

About this study

Official title: Iressa Re-challenge in Advanced NSCLC EGFR Mutated Patients Who Responded to an EGFR-TKI Used as First-line or Previous Treatment (NVALT 16)

To evaluate the effect of re-administration of gefitinib to EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients who had been treated with at least one line of TKIs followed by another line of treatment (non-TKI)

Read the detailed description

Rationale: Gefitinib is a registered first-line treatment for EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients. There is a lack of evidence for second and third line therapies in this category of patients. Several case reports have described successful re-administration of gefitinib to NSCLC patients who achieved objective response with the initial administration of gefitinib before eventual progression.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the disease control rate (DCR; confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD)) of gefitinib using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1 in patients with activating sensitising Epidermal Growth Factor mutation positive (EGFR M+) NSCLC. The secondary objectives of the study are: objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST, progression free survival (PFS) according to RECIST, overall Survival (OS), EGFR Mutational status of tumour tissue both activating and resistance EGFR mutations analysis and the association between the Veristrat assay (Biodesix) and both PFS and OS will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gefitinib standard dose in people with Lung Cancer, run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc at 14 sites in Netherlands.

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 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Netherlands. 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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Disease control rate (time frame: 6 months after last included patient). 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 1 Apr 2021.
