Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study Examining Long Response in Lung Cancer Patients Treated With Tarceva (Erlotinib) (NCT NCT02133508)

NCT ID: NCT02133508

Last Updated: 2017-10-24

Results Overview

SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD), taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Objective response was defined as having a CR or PR. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to \<10 millimeters (mm) in short axis. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to the smallest sum of diameters on-study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 8 months

Population: All eligible participants

The duration of SD or objective response (CR+PR) was defined as the time from first occurrence of SD or objective response to the time of PD, or death for any cause. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Objective response was defined as having a CR or PR. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions, and all pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to \<10 mm in short axis. PR was defined as at least 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. PD was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to the smallest sum of diameters on-study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions.

Timeframe: Up to 8 months

Population: All eligible participants

PFS was defined as the time from the beginning of therapy with erlotinib to the first occurrence of disease progression, as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 criteria, or death from any cause. Disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions.
