Key requirements

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

Who may be able to join

  • EGFR mutation positive Non-Small Cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (regardless of smoking status), or control group may encompass other molecular subtypes of lung cancer e.g. anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS).
  • All early stage patients with NSCLC who are deemed surgically resectable.
  • All patients must have histologically proven NSCLC, with known EGFR mutation
  • Patients should be fit for either lobectomy/ pneumonectomy with or without lymph node sampling.
  • Primary tumour should be at least 2 cm in size (Tumor stage 1b).
  • Willing to provide informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Known severe hypersensitivity to gefitinib or any of the excipients of this product
  • Any serious concomitant systemic disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to complete the study.
  • Interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pulmonary fibrosis; impaired pulmonary function (e.g. FEV1 <40% predicted value, artery blood gas PaO2<60mmHg)
  • Patients with prior exposure to agents directed at the Human epidermal receptor (HER) axis (e.g. erlotinib, gefitinib, cetuximab, trastuzumab).
  • Patients with prior exposure to chemotherapy, irradiation or systemic anti-cancer therapy (e.g. monoclonal antibody therapy) for lung cancer.
  • Any unstable systemic disease (including active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within six months, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, hepatic, renal, or metabolic disease).

  • Evidence of any other disease, neurological or metabolic dysfunction, physical examination or laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or puts the subject at high risk for treatment-related complications.
  • Patient who has serious active infection.
  • Patients who harbouring exon 20 T(Threonine)790M (Methionine) mutation.
  • Pregnancy or breast feeding.

About this study

Official title: PROGRESS: PRe-Operative Gefitinib in Resectable EGFR Mutation Positive Lung Cancer With Sector Sequencing for Biomarker Discovery

This is a pharmacodynamic study to evaluate the effect of gefitinib as induction therapy for patients who have resectable, Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitizing mutation lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

Selected patients will receive 4 weeks of gefitinib before surgery. A Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography (PET- CT) will be performed before and after gefitinib to assess the response. Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and plasma Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) will be acquired at baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after gefitinib treatment. Resected tumor will be sectored in details to study the spatial heterogeneity.

What is being measured

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

  1. EGFR TKI sensitivity biomarkers determination

    Determine EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitivity biomarkers in responders vs non responders, as categorized by either Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) stable disease (SD) vs Partial response (PR) or median percentage tumour shrinkage

    Measured: 4 to 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Response rates after 4 weeks of neoadjuvant gefitinib

    To determine response rates after 4 weeks of neoadjuvant gefitinib as evaluated by RECIST 1.1

    Measured: 4 to 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gefitinib in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Centre, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 2 Jun 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 Singapore. 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?

EGFR TKI sensitivity biomarkers determination (time frame: 4 to 6 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 2 Jun 2021.
