Brief Summary:
Erlotinib may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor. This phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib works in treating patients with malignant mesothelioma of the lung

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Advanced Malignant Mesothelioma Epithelial Mesothelioma Recurrent Malignant Mesothelioma Sarcomatous Mesothelioma Drug: erlotinib hydrochloride Other: laboratory biomarker analysis Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the 1-year survival rate in patients with unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma treated with erlotinib.

II. Determine the response rate in patients with measurable disease treated with this drug.

III. Determine the frequency and severity of toxic effects of this drug in these patients.

IV. Measure epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression, EGFR gene amplification, and other activation products in the EGFR signaling pathway in tumor samples and correlate with clinical outcomes in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral erlotinib once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and then annually for 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 55 patients will be accrued for this study within 14-18 months.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival rate [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Erlotinib hydrochloride will not be of further interest if the true one-year survival rate is 35% or less, but of considerable interest if 55% or more.

  2. RECIST response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
  3. Association between EGFR expression with survival and response [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
