To Evaluate the Efficacy of Afatinib in Advanced Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma With EGFR Sensitive Mutation

Phase 4

• Conditions: Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma
• Interventions: Drug: Afatinib

• Registration Number: NCT04132102
• Lead Sponsor: Shanghai Chest Hospital

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, sing-arm, single site, phase IV clinical study. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of afatinib in LSQC patients with EGFR sensitive mutation, and to explore the clinical factors which might be predictive for the effectiveness in LSQC.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, sing-arm phase IV clinical study which will recruit about 20 patients in China.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of afatinib in LSQC patients with EGFR sensitive mutation, and to explore the clinical factors which might be predictive for the effectiveness in LSQC.

Target patient population:Locally advanced (IIIB) or metastatic (stage IV) immunohistochemistry (IHC)-verified Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSQC) with EGFR sensitive mutation patients, whom previously untreated or received platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as first-line treatment with subsequent disease progression, and had to be eligible for second-line treatment.

Investigational product, the dose and administration method: Afatinib is a member of the second generation TKIs, which binds irreversibly to the erbB family of receptors. Afatinib will be administrated orally with the starting dose of 40 mg tablets, once per day. If patients can't tolerate drug related AEs with 40mg, patients can receive 30mg once per day after AEs recovered to Grade 0-1 (CTCAE 5.0).

Study assessment: The collected data include the patient's demographic characteristics, information needed to determine whether the patient is eligible (including medical history, attributes of previous and current disease, and EGFR mutation status in tumor tissues), efficacy of objective response rate(ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety (including serious adverse events and dose change-induced adverse events).

Inclusion Criteria

• Selected patients must meet all of the following standards:

  1. The patient's or his/her legal representative's has signed and dated written informed consent before any specific study procedure.

  2. The patient is above 18 years old.

  3. Locally advanced (IIIB) or metastatic (stage IV) immunohistochemistry (IHC)-verified Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSQC) with EGFR sensitive mutation patients, whom previously untreated or received platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as first-line treatment with subsequent disease progression, and had to be eligible for second-line treatment.

  4. The patient has NOT previously received EGFR-TKI treatment.

  5. ECOG Performance Status Score is 0~2.

  6. The patient has sufficient bone marrow and organ function proved by baseline complete plasma count, plasma biochemistry and urinary biochemistry tests.

  7. Female patients of childbearing age must use adequate contraceptives, and breastfeeding is not allowed.

  8. Male patients must voluntarily to use contraceptives.

     Exclusion criteria

• Selected patients can not meet any one of the following standards:

  1. The patient has received EGFR-TKI treatment.
  2. The patient has any severe or uncontrolled systemic signs of illness, including uncontrolled hypertension, active easy-bleeding constitution, active infection, or significantly impaired function of bone marrow or organs, which researchers believe can significantly change the patient's risk/benefit balance.
  3. The patient has symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases.
  4. The patient has the history of interstitial pneumonia, or radiation pneumonia which needs steroid treatment.
  5. The patient still has unrecovered toxic reaction with ≥ grade 3 (CTCAE5.0) caused by previously received treatment.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Afatinib treatment group	Afatinib	This is an open-label, sing-arm phase IV clinical study

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression-free survival (PFS)	Up to 12 months	PFS refers to the time from initial prescription of afatinib to the time of disease progression or death recorded in CRF in this study, no matter whether the patient withdraw from the treatment before disease progression or receive other anti-cancer treatment or not. For the patient without progression or death at the time of analysis, the latest assessment date will be used as interpolation (censoring). (Or, if there's no tumor assessment after baseline visit, baseline visit date will be used

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall survival (OS)	Up to 12 months	OS refers to the time from the patient entering into the group to the time of death. When it comes to the analysis of patients with unknown survival status, the last date when learning of the patient's survival will be used as interpolation (censoring)
Objective response rate (ORR)	Up to 12 months	ORR refers to the incidence of complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) (determined according to RECIST1.1 standards)
Rate of SAEs, dose change-induced AEs, and AEs of particular concerns.	Up to 12 months	Serious adverse events \[SAEs\], dose change-induced AEs, and AEs of particular concerns.
