About this study

Official title: Real World Treatment Patterns, Clinical Outcomes and EGFR / T790M Testing Practices in EGFR-Mutated Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Receiving First-Line TKI Therapy

Multinational, multi-center medical record review to describe the treatment patterns, clinical outcomes, and EGFR / T790M testing practices in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC patients receiving first-line EGFR TKI therapy in Europe.

Read the detailed description

The aim is to generate real-life data on treatment patterns of the EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC patients receiving first- or second-generation EGFR TKI in first line of therapy as provided per routine practice in eight countries. An approximate number of 820 patients will take part in the REFLECT study.

It is anticipated that data, generated from the proposed large cohort across centers in Europe, will facilitate a better understanding of unmet medical needs in first line of treatment and will provide a platform for improving patients' management.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Bulgaria.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 2020. 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 Bulgaria. 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.

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?

First- or second-generation EGFR TKI used in first-line therapy (time frame: From date of initiating EGFR TKI in first line until the end of available follow-up or death, if this occurs before; assessed up to 60 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04031898, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 23 Dec 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
