About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Targeted Therapy Combined Chemotherapy in Advanced EGFR Positive NSCLC Patients With Concurrent Driver Gene Mutations

This study is a randomized, multicenter clinical study ,which is designed to compare the efficacy of the safety and efficacy of treatment every 6 weeks in EGFR positive (Non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC) with concurrent Driver gene mutations,who used EGFR-TKI with or without combined chemotherapy,estimated with stable efficacy (CR, PR, and SD) .In this study, subjects will be randomly assigned to the following two groups according to a 1:1 ratio:(A) Standard programme group, EGFR-TKI targeted therapy; (B) controlled programme group, EGFR-TKI targeted therapy combined chemotherapy(pemetrexed plus carboplatin for 4 cycles )

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized, multicenter clinical study aimed at EGFR positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) subjects with concurrent Driver gene mutations who have not previously received systematic treatment. After comparing EGFR-TKI alone or EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy for 4 cycles, after the efficacy evaluation was stable (CR, PR, and SD), the safety and clinical efficacy of maintenance therapy every 6 weeks were compared. The eligible subjects in this study will be randomly assigned into the following two groups according to the 1: 1 ratio: (A) Standard programme group, EGFR-TKI targeted therapy; (B) controlled programme group, EGFR-TKI targeted therapy combined chemotherapy (pemetrexed plus carboplatin for 4 cycles ) During the course of the trial treatment, if the subject develops disease (the first PD), the researcher will decide whether to continue the medication according to the patient's situation and communicate with the patient, as follows: After the first PD of the subject, the researcher decides whether to continue the treatment with the original regimen according to the disease state of the subject. At least 4 weeks later, the tumor is evaluated again. If the tumor progresses again (the second PD), the subject's study treatment ends and the follow-up period is entered; if there is no progress, the original regimen is continued.

The primary end point was descriptive analysis of progression-free survival and Objective response rate.The secondary end point of this study was to compare the incidence of treatment-related grade 3-5 adverse events between the standard group and the controlled group. Using RECIST 1.1 as the evaluation standard, the independent imaging evaluation committee (IRRC) conducted the evaluation. For the first time to evaluate PD, regardless of whether they continue to study treatment after progression, the date of the first PD evaluated by IRRC will be used for all statistical analysis containing progress information.

What is being measured

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

  1. progression-free survival

    Patients with oncological diseases have a period of time from the start of treatment to the observation of disease progression or death due to any cause

    Measured: three years

  2. objective response rate

    Refers to the proportion of patients whose tumor shrinkage reaches a certain amount and remains for a certain period of time, including CR + PR cases

    Measured: three years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. overall survival

    The time from randomization to death due to any cause. For subjects who have been lost to follow-up before death, the time of the last follow-up is usually calculated as the time of death.

    Measured: three years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EGFR-TKI and EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy (pemetrexed plus carboplatin) in people with Non-small-lung-cell Cancer and NSCLC, run by The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 16 inclusion and 12 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 16 Jan 2024. 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 China. 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?

progression-free survival (time frame: three years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2024.
