NCT ID: NCT00322452

Last Updated: 2013-11-07

Results Overview

PFS was defined as the interval from the date of randomization to the date of objective disease progression (as per RECIST) or the date of death (from any cause) in the absence of objective disease progression. The median PFS in months is presented here.

Participant Flow

Males or females that had never smoked or were light ex-smokers, who had Stage IIIB or Stage IV adenocarcinoma of the lung and had not received any previous chemotherapy excluding non-platinum based adjuvant chemotherapy were randomised between 30 March 2006 and 9 October 2007. The study was carried out in Asian countries (including Japan \& China).

112 patients (out of 1329) failed screening and were not randomized, the majority of patients who failed screening did not comply with inclusion / exclusion criteria. Other reasons were: patient withdrew informed consent; patient lost to follow up. One patient was not randomized for 'other' (non-specified) reason.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Tumour assessments as per RECIST were performed at baseline and then every 42 days ± 7 days from randomization until data cut off (14th April 2008).

Population: Analysis was carried out on Intention-to-treat (ITT) population.

PFS was defined as the interval from the date of randomization to the date of objective disease progression (as per RECIST) or the date of death (from any cause) in the absence of objective disease progression. The median PFS in months is presented here.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Following the PFS DCO on 14th April 2008 information on survival status was collected every 8 weeks.

Population: Analysis was carried out on Intention-to-treat (ITT) population.

Overall Survival was assessed via calculation of the time to death due to any cause. If a participant was known to have died, the time to death was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death. Otherwise, a participant was censored at the last date they were known to be alive. Median Overall Survival in months is presented here.
