A Study With Tarceva and Chemotherapy vs. Chemotherapy Alone in Patients With Advanced Lung Cancer

June 19, 2013 updated by: Genentech, Inc.

A Phase III, Randomized, Double Blind, Multicenter Trial of Tarceva (Erlotinib) Plus Chemotherapy (Carboplatin and Paclitaxel) Versus Chemotherapy Alone in Patients With Advanced (Stage IIIb or IV) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Not Received Prior Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to determine if Tarceva plus standard chemotherapy is more effective than standard chemotherapy alone in the treatment of lung cancer.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Measurable or non-measurable disease
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
  • Life expectancy of >=3 months
  • >= 3 weeks since any prior surgery or radiotherapy (>=2 weeks for patients who receive <=30 Gy of radiotherapy involving <25% of the marrow reserve)
  • Use of an effective means of contraception (women of childbearing potential)
  • Able to comply with study and follow-up procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of small cell, carcinoid, or mixed small cell/non-small cell histology
  • Malignancies within 3 years except for adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal or squamous cell skin cancer

  • Unstable systemic disease, including active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to Day 1, or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication (patients with chronic atrial arrhythmia, i.e., atrial fibrillation or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, are eligible)
  • History of other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that might affect the interpretation of the results of the study or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications
  • Gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication or a requirement for intravenous (IV) alimentation, or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption
  • Pregnancy or lactation

Any of the following abnormal baseline hematologic values:

  • Granulocytes count <=1500/uL

Any of the following abnormal baseline liver function tests:

  • Serum bilirubin >1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Serum ALT and AST >=2.5× ULN (>5× ULN if due to liver metastases)
  • Alkaline phosphatase >=2.5× ULN

Other baseline laboratory values:

  • Serum creatinine >1.5× ULN or creatinine clearance <60 mL/min
  • Uncontrolled hypercalcemia (>11.5 mg/dL)
