What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    A DLT was defined as: Any non-hematological toxicity ≥ Grade 3 according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3.0, except for fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms, which occurred despite adequate participant management. The following Grade 1-3 toxicities were exempt: Grade 1-3 skin and/or epithelial toxicities consistent with erlotinib single agent therapy, unless they did not respond to treatment or dose reduction or interruption (Grade 4 skin and/or epithelial toxicities were considered to be a DLT); Grade 4 neutropenia occurring for > 7 days; febrile neutropenia which occurred despite adequate participant management; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or any thrombocytopenia requiring platelet transfusion; and any subjectively intolerable toxicity felt by the investigator to be related to either one of the compounds.

    Measured: From baseline to end of the study (up to 42 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders

    Responders are participants who achieved either a complete response or a partial response according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. RECIST is a set of published rules that define when tumors in cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stabilize"), or worsen ("progress") during treatment.

    Measured: within 18 weeks

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response or Partial Response at the End of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6

    Complete and partial responses were determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. A complete response was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. A partial response was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameter.

    Measured: From baseline to the end of the study (up to 42 weeks)

  3. Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Pertuzumab (Cycle 2) in the Presence of Erlotinib (at Steady-state) in Patients With NSCLC

    Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax), which is the maximum (peak) concentration (amount of drug) measurable in blood plasma after a dose is administered, typically measured in nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL), reported as mg/L.

    Measured: on day 1 of cycle 2, 1 hour pre-dose and 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8, 24, 168, 336 and 504 hours after the start of the infusion

  4. Time of Cmax (Tmax) for Pertuzumab (Cycle 2) in the Presence of Erlotinib (at Steady-state) in Patients With NSCLC

    The time at which maximum concentration (Cmax), which is the maximum (peak) concentration (amount of drug) measurable in blood plasma after a dose is administered, is reached (Tmax).

    Measured: on day 1 of cycle 2, 1 hour pre-dose and 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8, 24, 168, 336 and 504 hours after the start of the infusion

  5. Terminal Phase Plasma Half-life (t ½) for Pertuzumab (Cycle 2) in the Presence of Erlotinib (at Steady-state) in Patients With NSCLC

    Terminal phase plasma half-life (t ½) is the time required to divide the plasma concentration by two after reaching pseudo-equilibrium, rather than the time required to eliminate half the administered dose.

    Measured: on day 1 of cycle 2, 1 hour pre-dose and 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8, 24, 168, 336 and 504 hours after the start of the infusion

  6. Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) for Pertuzumab (Cycle 2) in the Presence of Erlotinib (at Steady-state) in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

    Bioavailability [AUC(0-t)] is a measure of how much of the drug reaches the person's bloodstream from time 0 (pre-dose) to a given time point (t) for the body to use. The extent of product bioavailability is estimated by the area under the blood concentration vs time curve. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) is calculated by plotting the drug's blood levels on a graph at different times during the set period. The area under this curve reflects the amount of drug exposure in the set time period, calculated as hour * nanograms (ng) per milliliter (mL), which equates to mg.day/L. Bioavailability Extrapolated to Infinity [AUC (0-inf)] is a calculated measure of how much of the drug will ever reach the person's bloodstream for the body to use. AUC (0-inf) stands for the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (forever). It is obtained from calculating AUC (0-t) plus AUC (t-inf).

    Measured: on day 1 of cycle 2, 1 hour pre-dose and 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8, 24, 168, 336 and 504 hours after the start of the infusion

  7. Clearance (CL) for Pertuzumab (Cycle 2) in the Presence of Erlotinib (at Steady-state) in Patients With NSCLC

    A fundamental concept in pharmacokinetics is drug clearance (CL), that is, elimination of drugs from the body. The clearance is simply the ratio of the dose to the area under the curve (AUC), so that the higher the AUC for a given dose, the lower the clearance. If a drug is administered by continuous infusion and a steady state is achieved, the clearance can be estimated from a single measurement of the plasma drug concentration.

    Measured: on day 1 of cycle 2, 1 hour pre-dose and 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8, 24, 168, 336 and 504 hours after the start of the infusion

  8. Volume of Distribution at Steady-state (Vss) for Pertuzumab (Cycle 2) in the Presence of Erlotinib (at Steady-state) in Patients With NSCLC

    Steady-state volume of distribution of a drug is an estimate of drug distribution independent of elimination processes. It is most useful for predicting the plasma concentrations following multiple dosing to a steady-state or pseudo-equilibrium. Vss is proportional to the amount of drug in the body versus the plasma concentration of the drug at steady state (pseudo-equilibrium). It is a calculated measure.

    Measured: on day 1 of cycle 2, 1 hour pre-dose and 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8, 24, 168, 336 and 504 hours after the start of the infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Erlotinib and Pertuzumab in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 7 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 16 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Belgium, Spain, United Kingdom. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Oct 2015). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: From baseline to end of the study (up to 42 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 16 Oct 2015.
