Trial Outcomes & Findings for Gefitinib in Treating Patients Who Are Undergoing Surgery and/or Radiation Therapy for Locally Advanced or Recurrent Squamous Cell Skin Cancer (NCT NCT00126555)

NCT ID: NCT00126555

Last Updated: 2019-08-30

Results Overview

Number of participants out of total participants with progression following two 30 day courses of Gefitinib. Tumor response evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors by physical exam, computed tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Progressive disease defined as determined as response to Gefitinib induction therapy: Progression: 25% increase in sum of products of all measurable lesions over smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease) using the same techniques, OR clear worsening of any evaluable disease, OR appearance of any new lesion/site, OR failure to return for evaluation due to death or deteriorating condition (unless clearly unrelated to this cancer). Participants restaged on days 15 and 60 of treatment.

Participant Flow

Recruitment Period: April 08, 2005 to March 13, 2008. All participants were recruited at the University of Texas (UT) MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Of the 23 participants enrolled, one participant who was not evaluable for response withdrew before beginning treatment and is included the study demographics.

Measure
Gefitinib, Radiotherapy, Surgery
Gefitinib Induction therapy daily for 2 months then evaluated for clinical response and resectability: Resectable strata who have achieved at least stable disease receive surgery followed by radiation treatment, if indicated, and 12 additional months of Gefitinib post radiation. Unresectable strata who have achieved at least stable disease receive concomitant radiation/Gefitinib and 12 additional months of Gefitinib post-radiation (or post-surgery if surgery is indicated). Maintenance Phase of Gefitinib starts at same dose level as last dosing of Induction phase.

Timeframe: Up to 5 years

Population: One participant of 23 enrolled withdrew prior to treatment.

Number participants with response defined by RECIST: Complete Response (CR): Disappearance all disease; No new lesions/non-evaluable disease; Responders on none/only maintenance doses of corticosteroids. Partial Response (PR): \>/= 50% decrease under baseline in sum products perpendicular diameters of measurable lesions; No progression evaluable disease/new lesions; Responders on same/decreasing doses dexamethasone \& stable/improved neurological exams. Stable/No Response (SD): Not qualify for CR, PR, or progression; requires minimum 12 weeks duration; Responders on same/decreasing doses dexamethasone \& stable/improved neurological exams. Progression (PD): 25% increase in sum of products of all measurable lesions over smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease), OR clear worsening any evaluable disease, OR appearance any new lesion/site, OR failure to return due to death/deteriorating condition. All measurable/evaluable sites assessed using same baseline techniques.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Population: Samples were not available from all participants because the protocol specified that consenting to tissue biopsies was optional. Sample size was too small to determine EGFR-proliferative responses activated by the AKT pathway;hence, monitoring of the status of activated phospho-AKT as an independent marker of EGFR activation could not be performed.

Samples were not available from all participants because the protocol specified that consenting to tissue biopsies was optional. In addition, some participants presented with regional recurrences, which were not superficially accessible. The sample size was too small to determine the EGFR-proliferative responses activated by the AKT pathway; hence, the monitoring of the status of activated phospho-AKT as an independent marker of EGFR activation could not be performed.
