Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sorafenib/Erlotinib Versus Erlotinib Alone in Previously Treated Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (NCT NCT00600015)

NCT ID: NCT00600015

Last Updated: 2022-03-10

Results Overview

Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of patients who have a partial or complete response to therapy. Responses were assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST; version 1.0). Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions, and disappearance of all non-target lesions. Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the first day of treatment until the day tumor progression was documented. Response was evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Progressive Disease (PD): Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

Disease Control Rate (DCR) is defined as the percentage of patients who have a partial/complete/stable response to therapy. Responses were assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST; version 1.0). Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions, and disappearance of all non-target lesions. Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters) Stable Response: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response, nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters since the treatment started).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

Duration of response is defined as the time from when objective response is realized until time to first documented disease progression. Disease progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Objective Response = CR + PR. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Progression free survival is defined as the time from the first day of treatment until the day tumor progression was documented. Response was evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Progressive Disease (PD): Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions (1). Percentage of participants who were progression free at 6 month from the start of treatment is reported here.
