Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Tarceva (Erlotinib) in First Line in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma With EGFR Mutations (NCT NCT01609543)

NCT ID: NCT01609543

Last Updated: 2016-02-01

Results Overview

PFS was defined as median time from the first dose of study treatment to the first documentation of objective tumor progression (according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours \[RECIST\] version 1.1) or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. Median and the 95% confidence interval were estimated using Kaplan-Meier survival methodology.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to progressive disease or death (up to 34 months)

Population: ITT population.

PFS was defined as median time from the first dose of study treatment to the first documentation of objective tumor progression (according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours \[RECIST\] version 1.1) or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. Median and the 95% confidence interval were estimated using Kaplan-Meier survival methodology.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to progressive disease or death (up to 34 months)

Population: ITT population.

BOR was defined as best tumor response (as per RECIST version 1.1) recorded for a participant during the study. Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (less than \[\<\] 10 millimeters \[mm\] short axis). Partial Response (PR): at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression. Stable Disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.
