About this study

Official title: Impact of Bevacizumab Versus Docetaxel/Erlotinib on Tumor Metrics in Patients With Previously Untreated Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Study by the Hellenic Co-operative Oncology Group

To determine the more effective dosing sequence of intermittent erlotinib and docetaxel for treating patients with the diagnosis of advanced Non-Small-Lung-Cancer.

Read the detailed description

In 2008, the Hellenic Co-operative Oncology group (HeCOG) initiated a randomized phase II study to determine the comparative efficacy of intermittent docetaxel/erlotinib chemotherapy, with erlotinib given for twelve consecutive days either before (group A) or after (group B) docetaxel, in chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer. Docetaxel chemotherapy was considered one of the valid non-platinum containing therapeutic options at that time and today represents one of the approved second-line treatment options after failure of first-line platinum based chemotherapy. The trial was terminated early due to slow accrual after enrollment of 51 patients and was published in 2014, showing no clinically meaningful difference between the two treatment arms.

Based on the aforementioned trial population,a parallel radiological study was conducted, evaluating sequential tumor metrics on computed tomography performed at baseline and after each cycle of treatment in patients receiving either bevacizumab or docetaxel/erlotinib. Given the differential mechanism of action of these agents, it was hypothesized that the different parameters of radiological tumor response evaluation, namely the maximum diameter, tumor volume and tumor density, would respond differently for each therapeutic category (a chemotherapeutic agent, a molecular agent and and an anti-angiogenic agent). For bevacizumab, in particular, it was hypothesized that its unique mechanism of action, inducing central tumor necrosis and subsequent shrinkage, would lead to completely different tumor metrics as compared to the other two agents. Herein the final results of this analysis are presented, showing the comparison of the three agents in terms of tumor response metrics, as evaluated in CT scans performed at baseline and after each cycle of treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor response

    Evaluation of response using RECIST 1.1 criteria (REF) was based on the measurement of a total of 5 measurable lesions.

    Measured: Every 12 -16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 10 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Tumor response (time frame: Every 12 -16 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 10 Feb 2020.
