About this study

Official title: Erlotinib Treatment Beyond Progression in EGFR Mutant or Patients Who Have Responded EGFR TKI in Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC

The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuing erlotinib beyond disease progression in combination with chemotherapy is beneficial for NSCLC patients who have EGFR mutant disease or who have responded to EGFR TKI.

Read the detailed description

A Phase II randomised, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of continuing erlotinib in addition to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients who have EGFR mutant or EGFR TKI responsive NSCLC and have progressed on EGFR TKI.

Being tested
Erlotinib, Chemotherapy
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival of the whole study population and in the strata 1-2

    Measured: An expected average of 36 weeks after last subject enrolled into our study

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival

    Measured: An expected average of 52 weeks after last subject enrolled into our study

  2. Overall Response Rate

    Measured: An expected average of 36 weeks after last subject enrolled into our study

  3. Rate of non-progression at 9 and 18 weeks

    Measured: 18 weeks after date of randomization of a last patient

  4. Safety and toxicity

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Measured: An expected average of 52 weeks after last subject enrolled into our study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib and Chemotherapy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Finnish Lung Cancer Group at 7 sites in Finland.

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 9 inclusion and 8 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 22 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Finland. 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 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 of the whole study population and in the strata 1-2 (time frame: An expected average of 36 weeks after last subject enrolled into our study). 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 22 Jun 2017.
