Study Summary
This trial compares erlotinib hydrochloride to observation in treating patients with resected stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop tumor cell growth by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that's been surgically removed. They must have specific EGFR mutations, be fully recovered from surgery, and not pregnant or breastfeeding. No recent chemo or radiotherapy allowed, and they should have good organ function and no history of certain eye abnormalities.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Erlotinib Hydrochloride (a drug blocking enzymes needed for tumor growth) against a placebo in patients after surgery. It aims to see if this treatment can prevent cancer from returning.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Erlotinib may cause side effects like rash, diarrhea, liver problems, breathing difficulties, fatigue, mouth sores, loss of appetite and infection risk due to its action on cellular enzymes.
