E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine if the administration of Tarceva after disease progression on standard platinum-based chemotherapy in the treatment of NSCLC results in improved overall survival when compared to Alimta (pemetrexed) or Taxotere (docetaxel). |
Determinare se la somministrazione di TarcevaTM dopo la progressione della malattia in seguito a chemioterapia standard a base di platino nel trattamento del NSCLC risulta in un miglioramento della sopravvivenza rispetto ad Alimta (pemetrexed) o Taxotere (docetaxel). |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1.To compare overall survival between the treatment arms in patients with:EGFR protein expression(IHC)positive,EGFR protein expression(IHC)negative.2.To compare progression free survival(PFS)between the treatment arms for all patients and in patients with:EGFR protein expression(IHC)positive,EGFR protein expression(IHC)negative.3.To compare the response rate between the treatment arms.4.To perform exploratory evaluations of available tumourtissue for biological or genomic determinants of outcome, including but not limited to EGFR and K-ras mutational status and EGFR and HER2 expression status and other downstream targets.5.To compare time to symptom progression between the treatment arms.6.To evaluate the safety profile of administering Tarceva£ª after disease progression on a standard platinum based chemotherapy in the treatment of NSCLC and compared with Alimta and Taxotere.7.To investigate by a population analysis approach the pharmacokine |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Patients with histologically documented, locally advanced or recurrent (stage IIIB and not amenable for combined modality treatment) or metastatic (Stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumour tissue samples representative of the tumour will be provided to the sponsor within 3 weeks of the patient starting platinum-based chemotherapy`. This Is A Mandatory Requirement For Study Entry. 2. Patients must have measurable disease according to the RECIST criteria. 3. Previous adjuvant or neo-adjuvant treatment is permitted if completed `¥ 6 months before start of chemotherapy. 4. ECOG performance status of 0 - 1 |
1. Pazienti con NSCLC istologicamente documentato, localmente avanzato o ricorrente (stadio III e non suscettibile al trattamento in modalita' combinata) o metastatico (stadio IV) e che soddisfano i criteri di selezione. 2. Malattia misurabile secondo i criteri RECIST. 3. Precedente terapia adiuvante o neo-adiuvante terminata almeno 6 mesi prima della sperimentazione. 4. ECOG performance status di 0-1. 5. Consenso informato scritto (firmato) per l'utilizzo di campioni di neoplasia. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Prior exposure to agents directed at the HER axis (e.g. gefitinib, cetuximab, trastuzamab). 2. Prior agents directed at Alimta molecular targets (i.e., TS or DHFR inhibitors). 3. Prior chemotherapy or therapy with systemic anti-neoplastic therapy (e.g., monoclonal antibody therapy or any experimental therapy) for advanced disease other than the permitted platinum-based chemotherapies. Prior surgery and/or localised irradiation is permitted. 4. Any unstable systemic disease (including active infections, significant cardiovascular disease, [including myocardial infarction within the previous year], any significant hepatic, renal or metabolic disease) metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of study medication(s) or that might affect the interpretation of the results or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications. 5. Any other malignancies within 5 years (except for adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal or squamous cell skin cancer). 6. Patients are excluded if they have brain metastasis or spinal cord compression that has not yet been definitively treated with surgery and/or radiation; previously diagnosed and treated CNS metastases or spinal cord compression without evidence of stable disease (clinically stable imaging) for at least 2 months will also cause patients to be excluded. 7. Patients who are at risk (in the investigator s opinion) of transmitting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through blood or other body fluids are excluded. 8. Any inflammatory changes of the surface of the eye. 9. Patients who cannot take oral medication, who require intravenous alimentation, have had prior surgical procedures affecting absorption, or have active peptic ulcer disease. 10. Patients who are unable to interrupt acetylic salicylic acid therapy (where aspirin dose is `¥ 1.3 g/day). 11. Nursing mothers. 12. Severe hypersensitivity to Tarceva or to any of the excipients. (see the Tarceva SPC) or to the excipients in Alimta or Taxotere (see respective SPCs). 13. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to Taxotere or to other drugs formulated with polysorbate 80. |
1. Precedenti trattamenti con farmaci HER-specifici. 2. Precedenti trattamenti con inibitori TS o DHFR. 3.Precedente chemioterapia o terapia con farmaci antineoplastici sistemici (i.e.: terapia con anticorpi monoclonali o terapie sperimentali). Sono consentiti precedenti interventi chirurgici e/o radioterapia localizzata. 4. Presenza di malattie sistemiche (infezioni in atto, malattie cardiovascolari, epatiche, renali o metaboliche significative), disfunzioni metaboliche, controindicazioni al trattamento in studio sulla base della valutazione clinica e dei parametri di laboratorio che possano alterare l`interpretazione dei risultati o causare elevato rischio di complicanze. 5. Diagnosi di altre neoplasie nei 5 anni precedenti (escluso carcinoma della cervice in istu e carcinoma cutaneo basale o squamoso adeguatamente trattato) 6. Evidenza di metastasi cerebrali o compressione spinale non trattata chirurgicamente e/o con radioterapia in via definitiva; la precedente diagnosi e trattamento di metastasi al CNS o compressione spinale senza evidenza di stabilizzazione della malattia per almeno 2 mesi portera` all`esclusione dallo studio. 7. Pazienti a rischio di trasmissione di HIV. 8. Alterazioni di tipo infiammatorio alla superficie dell`occhio. 9. Pazienti non in grado di assumere terapie per via orale, che necessitino di alimentazione per via endovenosa, con precedenti interventi chirurgici che abbiano alterato l`assorbimento o con ulcera peptica in atto. 10. Pazienti non in grado di interrompere la terapia con acido acetilsalicilico (dosi di aspirina > 1.3 g/die). 11. Donne che allattino. 12. Ipersensibilita` severa a Tarceva o agli eccipienti presenti nei farmaci in uso. 13. Precedente storia di ipersensibilita` a Taxotere o a farmaci contenenti polisorbato 80. |
