A Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Erlotinib in Patients With Advanced NSCLC Unsuitable for Chemotherapy
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare survival of patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer that is
not suitable for first-line chemotherapy treated with erlotinib vs placebo.
Secondary
- Compare progression-free survival and response rate.
- Compare toxicity.
- Compare the quality of life.
- Compare cost-effectiveness.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients
are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral erlotinib once daily for up to 24 months.
- Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo once daily for up to 24 months. Quality of life
is assessed periodically.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for survival.
