Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cetuximab Plus Conformal Thoracic Radiotherapy in Patients (Pts) With Inoperable or Unresectable Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (LA - NSCLC) (NCT NCT00673738)

NCT ID: NCT00673738

Last Updated: 2015-10-08

Results Overview

Progression Free Survival is defined as the interval between the date of the first cetuximab administration and the date of objective progression of disease. Progression was evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria. Progressive Disease (PD): Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

Timeframe: Up to 36 months

Population: All participants

Progression Free Survival is defined as the interval between the date of the first cetuximab administration and the date of objective progression of disease.

Progressive Disease (PD): Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Cetuximab Plus Radiotherapy
n=27 Participants
Concurrent Cetuximab plus Conformal Thoracic Radiotherapy (CTRT). Patients were treated with definitive radiotherapy (70 Gy in 35 fractions, per our currently-existing institutional standard) with concurrent cetuximab followed by 3 cycles of consolidation docetaxel plus cetuximab.
Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)
7.5 months
Interval 4.0 to 10.7

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 36 months

Population: All participants

Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause.

Concurrent Cetuximab plus Conformal Thoracic Radiotherapy (CTRT). Patients were treated with definitive radiotherapy (70 Gy in 35 fractions, per our currently-existing institutional standard) with concurrent cetuximab followed by 3 cycles of consolidation docetaxel plus cetuximab.
Median Overall Survival (OS)
10.5 months
Interval 4.3 to 20.5

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 36 months

Population: All participants

ORR = Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (CR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0. Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.
