Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients With EGFR Mutant, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Naive Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT NCT02879994)

NCT ID: NCT02879994

Last Updated: 2021-07-14

Results Overview

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by accessed by radiographic imaging: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 14 months

Population: Enrollment was ceased due to lack of efficacy after 11 of 25 planned patients were treated. Only 1 patient had an objective response, but repeat analysis of this patient's tumor definitively showed the original report of an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation to be erroneous.

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by accessed by radiographic imaging: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

11 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: assessed for up to 14 months

Population: Participants analyzed is 10 because although 11 patients were treated, forensic analysis revealed that 1 subject did not have documented EGFR mutation. Regarding Overall Survival, median OS was not reached at time of data cutoff.

Will evaluate Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival. Average of Progression Free Survival recorded for limited number of subjects analyzed. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
