Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the superiority of docetaxel in comparison to erlotinib in second line in wild-type EGFR tumour patients.


Clinical Trial Description

Erlotinib is registered in all patients affected with NSCLC in second and subsequent lines with a small benefit on Overall Survival. Recent evidence suggest that patients with EGFR mutations have a clear benefit when they are treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, while the role of these drugs in wild-type EGFR patients, that are representing the large majority (about 85-90%), is still unclear and no properly planned trials assessed before this issue. Recently, indirect evidence on subgroup analyses on randomized trial suggest that chemotherapy might be superior to erlotinib in wild-type EGFR patients.

Moreover, several authors do not recommend the use of EGFR determined with immunohistochemistry (IHC) or FISH because they do not reproducibly predict outcome.

For these reasons the protocol was amended in May 2011 in a superiority trial of docetaxel versus erlotinib, while the first version was aimed to assess the interaction with biomarkers. ;
