About this study

Official title: An Open Label Trial of Afatinib in Treatment-naive or Chemotherapy Pre-treated Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Harboring EGFR Mutation(s)

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of afatinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation(s) and have never been treated with an EGFR-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AfatinibDrug

    40, 30, or 20mg tablets taken once daily, dosage depending on tolerability

Study groups in NCT02044380
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AfatinibExperimentalpatient to receive a tablet containing 40 mg afatinib once a day, with the option to reduce the dose to 30 or 20 mg/day, based on individual tolerability
Receives: Drug: Afatinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety Assesment

    Safety was assessed by:

    1. All serious adverse events (SAEs)
    2. All adverse events (AEs) leading to treatment discontinuation or dose reduction of afatinib
    3. Non-serious AEs assessed by the treating physician as related to afatinib.

    Measured: From first administration of treatment until 28 days after last drug administration, up to 80 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Afatinib in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 5 sites in Canada.

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 21 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 31 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Canada. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Mar 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?

Safety Assesment (time frame: From first administration of treatment until 28 days after last drug administration, up to 80 weeks.). 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 31 Mar 2017.
