Erlotinib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00416650
Lead Sponsor
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib works in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the major objective response rate (partial response and complete response) in patients with advanced bronchoalveolar cell non-small cell lung cancer treated with erlotinib hydrochloride.

Secondary

* Assess the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.

* Determine the duration of response and time to disease progression in patients treated with this regimen.

* Determine the median survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter study.

Patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Major objective response rate (complete response and partial response)At 4 weeks and then every 8 weeks

Per Response Evaluation in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria v. 1.1: measurable lesions: complete response (CR) disappearance of target lesions, partial response (PR) \> 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Worst grade toxicityweekly for 4 weeks, then every 8 weeks to discontinuation of drug

Number of patients with worst-grade toxicity at each of five grades (1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = life-threatening, disabling, 5 = death) following NCI Common Toxicity Criteria, v. 2. Drug is discontinued for disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient undergoes radiation or other chemotherapy, or withdraws from study

Quality of life as measured by the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale for patientsbaseline, every week for 5 weeks, and then every 4 weeks

The Lung Cancer Symptom Scale for patients is a nine-item scale with 0 = lowest rating (least) to 100 = highest rating (worst) for the measurement of symptom burden for loss of appetite, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, activity, quality of life, lung cancer symptoms, and pain.

Survivalfrom study entry to date of death or last date known alive

Duration of time from date of study entry to death from any cause or to the last date the patient is known to be alive.
