Brief Title: Concurrent EGFR-TKIs and Thoracic Radiation Therapy in Active EGFR Mutation for 1st Line Treatment of Stage IV NSCLC
Official Title: Concurrent EGFR-TKIs and Thoracic Radiation Therapy in EGFR Active Mutation for the First Line Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer at Stage IV: A Single-arm, Open-label, Single Center, Phase II Trial.
Study ID: NCT02353741
Brief Summary: This single-arm phase II study aims to study the efficacy of a possible first line treatment that combines epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) with concurrent thoracic radiation therapy for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with active EGFR mutation, as well as assessing PFS, OS, tumor response, etc. to verify that this new combinational therapy can benefit short-term and long-term survival of the patients with advanced NSCLC.
Detailed Description: Based on NCCN guideline of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) such as erlotinib, gefitinib and icotinib as the first line treatment for advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs in combination with thoracic radiotherapy as the first line treatment for stage IV NSCLC with active EGFR mutation remains unknown. In this single-arm phase II trial, we chose the subjects with stage IV harboring active EGFR mutation,who were treated by EGFR-TKIs combined with radiation therapy. The primary endpoint is 1-year rate of progression-free survival and the second endpoints are overall survival (OS), objective response rate and toxic and side effect. By evaluating them, we expect to find out the evidence that the combination therapy can benefit the short-term and long-term survival of the patients. Meanwhile, via the stratification analysis of tumor biomarker and immune index, we obtain the evidences for the benefits of comprehensive and individual treatment for advanced NSCLC.
