About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open-Label, Multicentre Study to Assess the Anti-tumour Activity of Afatinib in Patients With Activating Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation in Circulating Tumor DNA

Treatment efficacy of afatinib will be assessed in patients with lung cancer harboring EGFR mutations which were detected from circulating tumor DNA.

Read the detailed description

Obtaining Tumor tissue or cytology samples are not always available in some patients with lung cancer. Recently, studies showed that circulating tumor DNA can be used as a suitable substitute for mutation analysis. The sensitivity of EGFR mutation tests using circulating tumor DNA was reported in the range of 65.7% (10) to 75% (11), with high specificity and positive predictive value. In this trial, treatment efficacy of afatinib will be assessed in patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations which were detected from circulating tumor DNA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Afatinib in people with Lung Neoplasms and EGFR Gene Mutation, run by Chonnam National 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 17 inclusion and 6 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 3 Aug 2021. 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. 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?

Efficacy evaluation RECIST v1.1 (time frame: 2 months). 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 3 Aug 2021.
