Trial Outcomes & Findings for BATTLE Program: Tarceva and Targretin in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (NCT NCT00411632)

NCT ID: NCT00411632

Last Updated: 2020-01-29

Results Overview

The primary objective is to determine the 8 week progression-free survival rate (i.e. disease control rate) in patients with advanced NSCLC who have failed at least one prior chemotherapy regimen. A radiologist independently assessed DC, which was defined as a complete or partial response or stable disease according to the RECIST(29) at the end of 8 weeks (start of treatment to end of second treatment cycle). PFS was assessed from the date of randomization to the earliest sign of disease progression or death from any cause. OS was assessed from the date of randomization until death from any cause. Tumor response was assessed every 8 weeks until disease progression. Toxicity was assessed in accordance with the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3.0.

Participant Flow

Thirty-seven (37) patients were registered into this trial. All thirty-seven (37) patients were eligible to participate in this trial.

Participants enrolling in this study must first be enrolled in the BATTLE umbrella protocol and must meet all of the BATTLE eligibility criteria. Participants enrolled in the BATTLE program will be assigned to a specific biomarker-integrated study based on the adaptive randomization model.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: The primary end point was the 8-week DCR \[complete or partial response or stable disease via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST, which we compared with the historical 30% DCR estimate in similar patients. Treatment efficacy (a positive finding) was defined as \>0.80 probability of achieving\>30% DCR.

The primary objective is to determine the 8 week progression-free survival rate (i.e. disease control rate) in patients with advanced NSCLC who have failed at least one prior chemotherapy regimen. A radiologist independently assessed DC, which was defined as a complete or partial response or stable disease according to the RECIST(29) at the end of 8 weeks (start of treatment to end of second treatment cycle). PFS was assessed from the date of randomization to the earliest sign of disease progression or death from any cause. OS was assessed from the date of randomization until death from any cause. Tumor response was assessed every 8 weeks until disease progression. Toxicity was assessed in accordance with the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3.0.
