NCT01542437 | Completed Phase 2 DMC

• 1 other identifier: BIBW2992
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 66
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Patients with stage IIIB and IV lung adenocarcinoma and progression to first-line chemotherapy were enrolled to receive afatinib 40 mg/day. Mutational EGFR and HER-2 status were assessed by RT-PCR. HER2 amplification was evaluated by FISH. Plasma HGF levels were measured by ELISA before and 2 months (mo) after the start of treatment. We assessed changes in serum HGF levels and their association with objective response rate (ORR), PFS and overall survival (OS).

Conditions

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer; EGFR; HER-2

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Overall response

  Is assigned to each subject the best objective response according to the investigator's decision (according to RECIST criteria). This is defined as the best response recorded from the start of treatment until progression / recurrence of disease. For patients with response status partial (PR) or complete response (CR), changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed by repeated assessments to be made not less than 4 weeks after it first reached the response criteria The CT will be made every two months to assess response to treatment. The objective response will be summarized descriptively.

  from the start of consumption until at least 6 months after stopping BIBW 2992 or when all patients have died.

• Progression Free Survival

  Is defined as the time from start of treatment until the date of the first documented evidence of progression (RECIST criteria) or the date of death for any reason in the absence of disease progression (EP). For patients who have died or progressed at the time of final analysis, use the date of last contact.

  from the start of consumption until at least 6 months after stopping BIBW 2992 or when all patients have died.

• Overall survival

  Overall survival will be determined from the date of commencement of treatment to date of death, regardless of the cause of death. In patients who did not die at the time of final analysis will use the date of last contact.

  from the start of consumption until at least 6 months after stopping BIBW 2992 or when all patients have died.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Evaluation of the HER-2 gene copy number and amplification

  Baseline

• DNA Extraction and Mutational Analysis of EGFR and HER-2

  Baseline

• Toxicity evaluation

  from the start of consumption until at least 6 months after stopping BIBW 2992 or when all patients have died.

• Determination of plasma HGF pre and post-treatment concentration

  Baseline and after 2 months of treatment.

BIBW 2992

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients received a daily oral 40mg dose of afatinib. Treatment was continued until docu-mented disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent. The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0 was used to evaluate toxicity. In patients with severe toxicity (grade ≥3) afatinib was temporary discontinued until the patient recovery to at least grade 1 toxicity and continued with a dose reduction to 30 mg/day. Dose reduction below 30mg/day was not allowed. Patients experiencing more than one grade ≥3 event, those with grade ≥2 toxicity after dose reduction, and/or those showing no recovery within 14 days discontinued treatment.

Drug: BIBW 2992

Interventions

BIBW 2992 DRUG

All patients will receive: BIBW 2992 40mg every 24 hours orally, where a cycle corresponds to complete this treatment for 28 days; option 30mg/day dose reductions, according to established criteria. Not to be compared with any other drug.

Also known as: Afatinib

• Written informed consent (signed) to participate in the study.

You may not qualify if:

• Any unstable systemic disease (including active infection, grade 4 hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, liver disease, renal or metabolic).
• Pre-treatment with systemic anti-tumor therapy with EGFR inhibitors (tyrosine kinase inhibitors).
• Any other malignancy within the previous 5 years (except for carcinoma in situ of the cervix or skin cancer adequately treated basal cell type).
• Excluded patients with brain metastases or spinal cord compression of newly diagnosed and / or have not been definitively treated with surgery and / or radiation, supporting both patients with CNS metastases or spinal cord compression previously diagnosed and treated with evidence of stable disease (clinically stable on imaging studies) for a minimum of 2 months.
• Any significant ophthalmologic abnormality, especially severe syndrome of dry eye, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, Sjogren's syndrome, severe keratitis exposure and any other condition that may increase the risk of corneal epithelial damage. We do not recommend the use of contact lenses during the study. The decision to continue with the use of contact lenses should be discussed with the treating oncologist and the patient's ophthalmologist.
