About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase III Study of Docetaxel Versus Intercalated Erlotinib Docetaxel Combination Therapy in Patients With Relapsed EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) Wild Type, ALK(Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase) Negative Non Squamous Cell Carcinoma. (NVALT 18 Study)

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of docetaxel monotherapy and the combination of docetaxel intercalated erlotinib in patients with relapsed EGFR wild type, ALK negative non squamous cell carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of docetaxel monotherapy and the combination of docetaxel intercalated erlotinib in patients with relapsed EGFR wild type, ALK negative non squamous cell carcinoma.

As pemetrexed is standard first line treatment, the combination of erlotinib docetaxel in non-squamous NSCLC should be investigated as second line treatment. Also the question has to be answered whether the combination outperforms monotherapy treatments.

After stratification for ECOG-performance status (0-1), response to prior treatment (CR, PR, SD versus PD), treatment free interval after platinum based therapy (<6 months versus >6 months) and maintenance, patients will be centrally randomized to receive either docetaxel (arm A) or docetaxel plus erlotinib (arm B).

What is being measured

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

  1. progression free survival

    Measured: from the date of randomization to the first date of progression of disease or of death from any cause up to 24 months after last treatment administration

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. quantitative and qualitative adverse events

    Adverse events will be graded according to NCI Common Toxicity Criteria version 4.03

    Measured: from the date of randomization until resolution or stabilization of the event and up to 30 days after the last study medication/treatment

  2. response rates

    Measured: Every six weeks from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause up to 24 months after last treatment administration

  3. duration of response

    Measured: from the date of the first objective status assessment of a complete or partial response to the first date of progression of disease or death from any cause up to 24 months after last treatment administration

  4. overall survival

    Evaluation of overall survival (OS)

    Measured: from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause up to 24 months after last treatment administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Docetaxel and Erlotinib in people with Carcinoma, Non-small Cell Lung, run by The Netherlands Cancer Institute at 19 sites in Netherlands.

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 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in Netherlands. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: accrual to slow, target not achievable). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

progression free survival (time frame: from the date of randomization to the first date of progression of disease or of death from any cause up to 24 months after last treatment administration). 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 30 Apr 2019.
