Trial Outcomes & Findings for Erlotinib Hydrochloride in Preventing Liver Cancer in Patients With Cirrhosis of the Liver (NCT NCT02273362)

NCT ID: NCT02273362

Last Updated: 2024-03-26

Results Overview

A response is defined as having at least a 50% reduction in liver phospho-EGFR staining (50% reduction in the percentage of positive pixels).\> \> For each dose level, we report the number of participants achieving a response (at least 50% reduction in liver phospho-EGFR staining). \> \> The Minimum effective dose (MED) is defined as the dose which at least a 40% of patients report a response.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to day 7

Population: In Dose Level 0, 1 participant terminated intervention early due to physician decision and 1 participant lost pre-intervention tissue specimens. 1 participant in dose level -1 terminated intervention early due to adverse event. In Dose Level -2, 3 participants did not have additional pre-intervention tissue specimens available beyond eligibility and 1 participant was not evaluable for phospho-EGFR staining at post-intervention due to no benign liver tissue.

A response is defined as having at least a 50% reduction in liver phospho-EGFR staining (50% reduction in the percentage of positive pixels).\> \> For each dose level, we report the number of participants achieving a response (at least 50% reduction in liver phospho-EGFR staining). \> \> The Minimum effective dose (MED) is defined as the dose which at least a 40% of patients report a response.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to day 7

The relationship between dose-level and staining of biomarkers in the liver will be assessed. The baseline biomarker expression levels across all the dose levels using analysis of variance (ANOVA) or the nonparametric equivalent will be compared. The changes in these biomarker values will be assessed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and compare these changes across dose levels using ANOVA. Graphical methods will be used to assess the differences in these biomarker values across dose levels. All categorical variables will be analyzed using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests.
