Erlotinib Treatment Beyond Progression in EGFR Mutant NSCLC

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Drug: Chemotherapy
Registration Number
NCT02064491
Lead Sponsor
Finnish Lung Cancer Group
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuing erlotinib beyond disease progression in combination with chemotherapy is beneficial for NSCLC patients who have EGFR mutant disease or who have responded to EGFR TKI.

Detailed Description

A Phase II randomised, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of continuing erlotinib in addition to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients who have EGFR mutant or EGFR TKI responsive NSCLC and have progressed on EGFR TKI.
