About this study

Official title: Pilot Trial of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Ointment for the Patients With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Inhibitor Related Skin Side Effects

The efficacy of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors have been demonstrated in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pancreatic cancer (PC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Dermatological reactions can cause significant physical and psycho-social discomfort to patients. In the present study, the investigators evaluated the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) ointment on EGFR inhibitor-related skin side effects (ERSEs).

Read the detailed description

The current study includes patients diagnosed with advanced NSCLC or PC or CRC, with pathological confirmation. The inclusion criteria were NSCLC treated with erlotinib alone and PC treated with gemcitabine and erlotinib combination chemotherapy and CRC treated with cetuximab and5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)+Irinotecan+leucovorin(LV) (FOLFIRI), 5-FU+Oxaliplatin+LV (FOLFOX) and sufficient liver, kidney, and bone marrow function to undergo treatment. All the patients had Grade ≥2 ERSEs according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v. 4.03.

The patients will be randomized 3 groups; Placebo group, Arm 1, and Arm 2. Arm 1 will be treated with 1ppm concentration EGF ointment. Arm 2 will be treated with 20ppm concentration EGF ointment. And placebo group will be treated with 0ppm concentration EGF ointment.

Being tested
Arm EGF ointment 1ppm, Arm EGF ointment 20 ppm, Arm Placebos
Keywords
EGF ointment, EGFR inhibitor, Skin side effect
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Pancreatic Neoplasms, Colorectal Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. To estimate the response rate of EGF ointment

    The effectiveness of the EGF ointment was defined as follows:

    1. Grade 2, 3, or 4 ERSEs downgraded to ≤Grade 1 or
    2. Grade 3 or 4 ERSEs downgraded to Grade 2 and persisting for at least two weeks.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of Life

    To evaluate the patients' Quality of Life (QoL) by Skin evaluation method (SKINDEX-16)

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Arm EGF ointment 1ppm and Arm EGF ointment 20 ppm in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer, run by Dong-A University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 11 inclusion and 9 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 Apr 2018. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

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?

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?

To estimate the response rate of EGF ointment (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02284139, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2018.
