About this study

Official title: The Continuation of Gefitinib Treatment Beyond Progression in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With EGFR Mutation: A Phase II Single Arm Prospective Study

Although EGFR-TKIs such as gefitinib, erlotinib or afatinib are recommended as first-line therapy in patients with advanced, recurrent or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC patients who have known active EGFR mutation and achieved response to EGFR TKIs experience disease progression eventually with 10-14 moths of median progression free survival.6 Platinum-doublets combination chemotherapy remains standard of care for patients with progressive disease. However, patients may derive benefit from EGFR TKIs after RECIST-assessed progression especially for those who experience slow progression. And previous report suggested that premature discontinuation of EGFR TKIs has resulted in rapid progression in symptoms and tumor growth.7 Recently, a prospective phase II single arm study in Asian patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC to determine the continuation of erlotinib beyond progression judged by investigators showed that additional PFS of 3.1 months can be achieved with continuation of erlotinib without serious additional toxicities.8 Until now, no prospective study has been conducted for gefitinib.

In this study the continuation of gefitinib beyond RECIST progression will be investigated to determine the clinical outcomes including the duration of treatment and safety.

This is a single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuation of gefitinib in EGFR mutant NSCLC patients who experience RECIST progression. Based on the results of "ASPIRATION" study, the median PFS for continuation of gefitinib will be around 3 months. The study treatment will be of no interest if the true median PFS is 2.5 months or shorter. In contrast, it will be of interest if the true median PFS is 3.5 months or longer. Considering 1 sided alpha of 0.05 and 90% of power, 95 patients are required. A total of 100 patients will be needed considering 5% of drop-out rate. 6 months of accrual and additional 6 months of follow-up will be assumed for this study.

Patients will be treated 250 mg/day of gefitinib orally (1 cycle for 28 days). Cycles were repeated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or until the patient or the investigator requested therapy discontinuation.

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 Samsung Medical Center 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 8 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2018. 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?

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?

Time from RECIST progression to secondary disease progression (time frame: 3 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 16 Jan 2018.
