NCT00883779

Brief Summary

This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of sequential treatment with Tarceva or placebo, plus platinum-based therapy, as first line treatment in patients with advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive gemcitabine (1250mg/m2 iv) on days 1 and 8, and cisplatin (75mg/m2) or carboplatin (5xAUC)on day 1, followed by Tarceva 150mg/day or placebo from day 15 to day 28 of each 4 week cycle for a total of 6 cycles,then followed by Tarceva or placebo monotherapy.The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) Time

    Tumor response was evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.0). PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. PFS is the time (in months) between the date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first. Participants who had neither progressed nor died at the time of data cut-off or who were lost to follow-up were censored at the date of the last tumor assessment where non-progression was documented or last date of follow up for progression of disease, whichever was last. Participants without post baseline tumor assessments who were known to be alive were censored at the time of randomization. Analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Randomization until PD or death (assessed at baseline and every 8 weeks thereafter until PD, death or end of study [up to approximately 1.5 years])

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Percentage of Participants Alive and Free From Disease Progression

    Randomization until PD or death (assessed at baseline and every 8 weeks thereafter until PD, death or end of study [up to approximately 1.5 years])

  • Median PFS Time Based on Different Subgroups

    Randomization until PD or death (assessed at baseline and every 8 weeks thereafter until PD, death or end of study [up to approximately 1.5 years])

  • Median Overall Survival (OS) Time-Overall and Among Different Subgroups

    Randomization until death (assessed at baseline and every 8 weeks thereafter until death or end of study [up to approximately 5.5 years])

  • Percentage of Participants Alive at the End of Study-Overall and Among Different Subgroups

    Randomization until death (assessed at baseline and every 8 weeks thereafter until death or end of study [up to approximately 5.5 years])

  • Non-Progression Rate: Percentage of Participants With a Confirmed Best Overall Response of Either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) for At Least 16 Weeks

    Randomization until PD or death (assessed at baseline and every 8 weeks thereafter until PD, death or end of study [up to approximately 1.5 years])

  • +10 more secondary outcomes
