Concurrent EGFR-TKIs and Thoracic Radiation Therapy in Active EGFR Mutation for 1st Line Treatment of Stage IV NSCLC (CERTAIN)

December 19, 2018 updated by: Jianguo Sun, Xinqiao Hospital of Chongqing

Concurrent EGFR-TKIs and Thoracic Radiation Therapy in EGFR Active Mutation for the First Line Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer at Stage IV: A Single-arm, Open-label, Single Center, Phase II Trial.

This single-arm phase II study aims to study the efficacy of a possible first line treatment that combines epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) with concurrent thoracic radiation therapy for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with active EGFR mutation, as well as assessing PFS, OS, tumor response, etc. to verify that this new combinational therapy can benefit short-term and long-term survival of the patients with advanced NSCLC.

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

Based on NCCN guideline of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) such as erlotinib, gefitinib and icotinib as the first line treatment for advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs in combination with thoracic radiotherapy as the first line treatment for stage IV NSCLC with active EGFR mutation remains unknown. In this single-arm phase II trial, we chose the subjects with stage IV harboring active EGFR mutation,who were treated by EGFR-TKIs combined with radiation therapy. The primary endpoint is 1-year rate of progression-free survival and the second endpoints are overall survival (OS), objective response rate and toxic and side effect. By evaluating them, we expect to find out the evidence that the combination therapy can benefit the short-term and long-term survival of the patients. Meanwhile, via the stratification analysis of tumor biomarker and immune index, we obtain the evidences for the benefits of comprehensive and individual treatment for advanced NSCLC.

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.
