Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00085839
Lead Sponsor
OSI Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

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
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free SurvivalUntil time of disease progression (maximum 5 months)

Median time until disease progression. Disease progression defined as radiological and/or symptomatic disease progression or death in absence of progression.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall SurvivalFrom first study treatment until time of death (maximum 26.8 months)

Median number of months from first study treatment until time of death

Best Tumor ResponseWhile receiving study treatment (maximum 60 weeks)

Change in size of tumor: Complete Response (CR) = no measurable tumor; Partial Response (PR) = 30% decrease in size of measurable tumor; Stable Disease (SD) = measurable tumor size has not changed; Progressive Disease (PD) = measurable tumor 20% larger than at baseline.
