Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

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

Who may be able to join

  • Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures. If a patient declines to participate in any voluntary exploratory research and/or genetic component of the study there will be no penalty or loss of benefit to the patient and he or she will not be excluded from other aspects of the study.
  • Male or female aged at least 18 years and older.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients who are harbouring an EGFR mutation known to be associated with EGFR-TKI sensitivity (including exon 19 deletion, L858R, L861Q, G719X). Local test for EGFR mutation is acceptable. In the expansion phase, patients must have a positive cMet test by a central laboratory. Safety run-in phase: EGFR mutation positive. A local EGFR test result is acceptable Expansion phase: EGFR mutation positive and cMet-positive. cMet test is performed by a central lab.
  • Radiological documentation of disease progression while on a previous continuous treatment with EGFR-TKI eg, gefitinib or erlotinib. All patients must have documented radiological progression on the last treatment administered prior to enrolling in the study. The patients must have been treated with an EGFR-TKI with objective clinical benefit (CR/PR) or SD for 3 months, and who have subsequently shown radiological progression on treatment. In addition, other lines of therapy may have been given.
  • At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, not biopsied during the screening period, 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 computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 1 with no deterioration over the previous 2 weeks and minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks.

  • Women should agree to use adequate contraceptive measures (as defined in section 5.1), should not be breast feeding, and must have a negative pregnancy test prior to start of dosing or if of child-bearing potential or of non-child- bearing potential must have evidence of this by fulfilling 1 of the following criteria at screening:
  • Post-menopausal defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments
  • Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation

  • Sexually active male patients should be willing to use barrier contraception; ie, condoms.
  • For inclusion in the genetic research, patients must provide informed consent for genetic research.

Who cannot join

To ensure that the patient will be able to complete the evaluable period of the study and the assessment of progression can be performed according to the RECIST v1.1 criteria and the relevant treatment decisions applied OR can be summarised for patients with measurable disease at baseline
  • Presence of other active cancers, or history of treatment for invasive cancer ≤5 years. Patients with Stage I cancer who have received definitive local treatment at least 3 years previously, and are considered unlikely to recur are eligible.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Volitinib and gefitinib in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hutchison Medipharma Limited at 1 site in China.

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 42 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 24 Apr 2020. 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 China. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Number of adverse events and serious adverse events (time frame: From ICF signed to within 28 days after the last dose). 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 NCT02374645, 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 24 Apr 2020.
