A Randomized Phase II Trial of Erlotinib Versus Pemetrexed as Second-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced EGFR Wild-Type and EGFR FISH-Positive Lung Adenocarcinoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Erlotinib and Pemetrexed for Lung Cancer. Completed, enrolled 123 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Both pemetrexed and erlotinib are second-line treatment options for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It is controversial that whether it is necessary to detect epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status for the EGFR-targeted therapy after the failure of standard chemotherapy. The role of EGFR gene copy number as a predictive marker remains controversial. Therefore, we investigate the efficacy of erlotinib and pemetrexed as second-line therapy in treating in patients with EGFR wild-type and EGFR FISH-positive advanced lung adenocarcinoma.
