Trans-MARBLE: Biomarker Study Accompanying the AIO-TRK-0114 Study (MARBLE)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To compare the efficacy of afatinib maintenance with pemetrexed maintenance following induction therapy with platinum/ pemetrexed in patients with metastatic EGFR mutated non-small-cell lung cancer progressing after first-line treatment with afatinib as first tyrosine kinase inhibitor with respect to progression-free survival
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Patients who have progressed after first-line treatment with afatinib as first tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) will be screened while they are receiving second-line (induction) treatment consisting of cisplatin / carboplatin plus pemetrexed given in 21-day cycles. Patients who do not progress (i.e. complete or partial response, or stable disease - CR, PR or SD) after completion of at least three and not more than four chemotherapy cycles will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive maintenance therapy with either afatinib (40 mg/d or last tolerated dose during first-line treatment with afatinib as first TKI) or pemetrexed (500 mg/m2 or 375 mg/m2 if dose reduction was required every 21 days) until disease progression or treatment discontinuation because of patient decision or toxicity.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm A: Afatinib Afatinib 40 mg/d (30, or 20 mg/d in case of dose reduction during 1st line treatment) |
Drug: Afatinib

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free Survival in relation to exploratory biomarkers [until progression]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall Survival in relation to exploratory biomarkers [continuous assessment]
Overall survival
- Objective response rate [Assessed every 6 weeks for 24 weeks, then every 9 weeks]
Objective response rate, clinical benefit rate (RECIST 1.1)
