A randomized, double-blind phase 3 trial of adjuvant erlotinib (E) versus placebo (P) following complete tumor resection with or without adjuvant chemotherapy in patients (pts) with stage IB-IIIA EGFR positive (IHC/FISH) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): RADIANT results.

7501 Background: The proven efficacy of E in advanced NSCLC warranted its evaluation in the adjuvant setting. BR.21 data suggested pts with EGFR positive tumors (IHC/FISH) were more likely to benefit from E. Methods: Completely resected IB-IIIA NSCLC pts were randomized 2:1 to receive E 150 mg qd or P for 2 years. Pts were stratified according to stage, histology, prior adjuvant chemotherapy, smoking status, EGFR FISH status, and country. The primary endpoint was disease free survival (DFS) in the full analysis set (FAS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) in the FAS and DFS and OS in the EGFR mutation (EGFR M+) subset (del19/L858R). Hierarchical testing procedure was used. Results: Between NOV 2007 and JUL 2010, 973 pts were randomized. Baseline characteristics were balanced between arms (age > 65 41%; female 41%; stage IB 51%, II 33%, IIIA 16% [AJCC 6th ed]; adenocarcinoma 59%; prior adjuvant chemotherapy 53%; never smoker 20%; Asian 17%; EGFR FISH+ 72% and EGFR M+ 16.5%).
