Multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HAD-B1 for dose-finding in EGFR positive and locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC subjects who need Afatinib therapy: Study protocol clinical trial (SPIRIT Compliant).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn recent studies, afatinib, a second-generation inhibitor, showed superior outcomes, when compared to the first-generation of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as erlotinib and gefitinib, in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Patients who receive TKIs with a significant initial efficacy, inevitably experience an acquired resistance (AR) within 9 to 13 months. Traditional Korean medicine may have synergistic effects when combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The purpose of this trial is to assess whether afatinib plus HAD-B1 improves disease control rates (DCRs) compared with afatinib alone and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HAD-B1 for finding the proper dose.
methodsThis is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, therapeutic, exploratory clinical trial. This trial is designed to determine whether HAD-B1 combined with afatinib results in better DCRs with less toxicity than afatinib alone. A total of 66 NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations will be randomly assigned to treatment group 1 (afatinib 40 mg/day plus HAD-B1 972 mg), treatment group 2 (afatinib 40 mg/day plus HAD-B1 1944 mg) and a control group (afatinib 40 mg/day). Afatinib combined with HAD-B1 or with a placebo will be administered to the participants for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint is a comparison of the DCRs among groups. Secondary endpoints are comparisons of the complete response (CR) and the partial response (PR) to the treatment, the stability of the disease (SD), progression free survival (PFS), time to progression (TTP), and tumor marker (CEA, NSE) and WBC differential count (LMR, NLR) and natural killer cell activity and quality of life (QOL) among groups. DISCUSSION: The results from this clinical trial will provide evidence of efficacy and safety of HAD-B1 in EGFR positive and locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients who need afatinib therapy.
