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.

Detailed Description

Brain metastases occur in 25-40% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is one of the primary reasons resulting in treatment failure and the death. Whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) is the standard approach to the treatment of multiple brain metastases from NSCLC. Regardless of the treatment of brain metastases by WBRT combined with systemic chemotherapy,outcomes of NSCLC with brain metastases are still very poor. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) can pass through the blood-brain barrier and show promising antitumor activity against brain metastases from NSCLC. Icotinib shows nearly the same effect as gefitinib in advanced NSCLC patients failed with chemotherapy.

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

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Icotinib plus Whole Brain Radiotherapy
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as gefitinib and erlotinib, have shown efficacy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases (BM). Icotinib is a new first generation EGFR-TKI. We conducted a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotinib in combination with whole brain radiotherapy （WBRT） in Chinese NSCLC patients with BM and investigated the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/ plasma concentrations of icotinib.
Drug: Icotinib
Patients will receive whole brain radiotherapy therapy 30Gy over 10 fractions and icotinib will be administered at the beginning of whole brain radiotherapy in doses of 125 mg thrice per day until disease progression or undue toxicity.
