Clinical Trials

This 3 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of three different dermatological creams designed for prophylaxis of skin rash associated with Tarceva treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients who have recently started Tarceva treatment will be randomized to one of 3 groups, to receive daily treatment with Verutex, Eritex or Fisiogel cream for 30 days, and the incidence and severity of skin rash will be assessed. The anticipated time on study treatment is \<3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

A Study of Verutex (Fusidic Acid), Eritex (Erythromycin) and Fisiogel in the Management of Tarceva-Associated Rash.

A Randomized, Open Label Study to Compare the Use of the Dermatological Creams Verutex, Eritex and Fisiogel in the Management of Skin Rash Associated With Tarceva Treatment in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

Skin rash was assessed by the investigator and dermatologists (the latter ones only through pictures) and scored according to (National cancer Institute -Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events ) NCI-CTCAE ( version 3 (line "Rash/desquamation" - short name "rash").

The severity of skin rash was graded on a 5 point scale where 0 (equals)= absent, 1= mile, 2=moderate, 3= severe, 4= life threatening and 5= Death

Time to occurence of skin rash was calculated as the number of days from Day 0 until the first appearance of skin rash as defined by NCI-CTCAE

Erythema is defined as redness of the skin or mucous membranes, caused by hyperemia of superficial capillaries

Pruritus is defined as intense localized itching

Pain is defined as an unpleasant feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli

The severity of skin rash was graded on a 5 point scale where 0 (equals)= absent, 1= mile, 2=moderate, 3= severe, 4= life threatening and 5= Death; Severity graded by oncologist.

The severity of pain was graded on a 5 point scale where 0 (equals)= absent, 1= mile, 2=moderate, 3= severe, 4= life threatening and 5= Death; Severity graded by oncologist.
