Erlotinib vs. Standard Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)Performance Status (PS) 2

August 6, 2012 updated by: OSI Pharmaceuticals

A Randomized Phase II Study of Single Agent Erlotinib [Tarceva (TM), OSI-774] Versus Standard Chemotherapy in Patients With Previously Untreated Advanced NSCLC and a Poor Performance Status

The purpose of this noncomparative study is to obtain preliminary estimates of the efficacy of erlotinib and standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced, previously untreated nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 2. The study will also evaluate the safety of single-agent erlotinib in this patient population.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free Survival
Time Frame: Until time of disease progression (maximum 5 months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival
Time Frame: From first study treatment until time of death (maximum 26.8 months)
