Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to treatment with afatinib.
  • Any history or presence of poorly controlled gastrointestinal disorders that could affect the absorption of the study drug (e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic diarrhoea, malabsorption)
  • Known or suspected active hepatitis B (Hep B) infection (defined as presence of HepB (surface Antigen) sAg and/ or Hep B DNA), active hepatitis C infection (defined as presence of Hep C RNA) and/or known HIV carrier
  • Any history of or concomitant condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to comply with the study or interfere with the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the test drug

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-arm Phase IV Study of Afatinib in Patients With Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Poor Performance Status and Whose Tumors Have the Common Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutations, Exon 19 Deletions or Exon 21(L858R) Substitution Mutations

There is a medical need for improving treatment of poor performance status patients with EGFR driver mutations and documenting safety and tolerability of existing agents.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Afatinib in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung and ErbB Receptors, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in United States.

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 14 inclusion and 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2017. 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 United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 18 Sep 2017). 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 Patients With Occurrence of Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Dose Reduction of Afatinib (time frame: Up to 98 days). 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 18 Sep 2017.
