  Purpose

The study aims to randomize 122 patients with advanced (Stage IV) EGFR mutation negative nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who respond (CR/PR/SD) to 4 cycles of pemetrexed / cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin as first-line therapy. In order to achieve that, approximately 338 treatment naïve patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC need to be enrolled from around 5-7 investigational sites in Taiwan that have expertise in lung cancer diagnosis.


Condition Intervention Phase
NSCLC
 Drug: Pemetrexed 500mg/m2 iv
Drug: Pemetrexed 500mg/m2 iv and Gefitinib 250 mg
 Phase 2
Phase 3

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: An Open Label, Randomized, Multicenter, Phase II Study to Compare Efficacy and Safety of Gefitinib/ Pemetrexed With Pemetrexed Alone as Maintenance Therapy in Patients With Advanced (Stage IV) EGFR Mutation Negative or T790M Single Mutation Nonsquamous NSCLC Who Respond to 4 Cycles of Pemetrexed/ Platinum as First-line Therapy

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Progression free survival [ Time Frame: up to 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Progression of disease will be calculated from the tumour measurements collected at each tumour assessment per the RECIST (V1.1) criteria and/or the date of patient death.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Overall objective tumour response [ Time Frame: up to 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The RECIST (V1.1) criteria will be used to assess objective tumour response. Details of target and non-target lesions will be collected on the appropriate CRF pages and used to calculate tumour response. Post-baseline tumour evaluations should use the samemodality (CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) as used at baseline and should preferably be undertaken at the same institution.


Estimated Enrollment: 338
Study Start Date: March 2011
Estimated Primary Completion Date: June 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Pemetrexed 500mg/m2 iv Drug: Pemetrexed 500mg/m2 iv
EGFR mutation negative patients who continuously respond (CR, PR or SD) to the 4th cycle of pemetrexed/ cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either gefitinib/ pemetrexed, or pemetrexed alone as maintenance therapy until progression of disease (PD) or discontinuation of treatment for other reasons.
Experimental: Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 i.v. and Gefitinib 250 mg Drug: Pemetrexed 500mg/m2 iv and Gefitinib 250 mg
EGFR mutation negative patients who continuously respond (CR, PR or SD) to the 4th cycle of pemetrexed/ cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either gefitinib/ pemetrexed, or pemetrexed alone as maintenance therapy until progression of disease (PD) or discontinuation of treatment for other reasons.
