Study Summary

This is a national, randomized, web-based, double-blind study to determine whether erlotinib (Tarceva) compared to placebo improves progression-free survival (PFS) for patients with inoperable, stage III NSCLC following concurrent docetaxel, carboplatin and thoracic radiotherapy. We hypothesize that the introduction of this orally active, well-tolerated agent following concurrent chemoradiation and prior to the emergence of drug resistance will prolong the progression-free survival by 40% (10 months → 14 months).

Primary Outcome

Progression Free Survival is defined as time from randomization until documented disease progression or death from any cause. The Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST 1.0) was used to determine disease progression. Irradiated target lesions were considered non-measurable disease. Symptomatic radiographic changes of irradiated non-measurable disease required pathologically confirmation or positive FDG-PET scan 6 months following completion of concurrent chemoradiation to
