About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel Group, International, Multicenter, Phase III Study of Oral ZD1839 (IRESSA®) Versus Intravenous Docetaxel (TAXOTERE®) in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Previously Received Platinum-Based Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of ZD1839 or docetaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has recurred or progressed after receiving prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Being tested
Gefitinib, Docetaxel
Keywords
Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare overall survival between ZD1839 and docetaxel

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To compare time to progression (TTP) between ZD1839 and docetaxel

  2. To compare progression-free rates at 4 months and 6 months between ZD1839 and docetaxel

  3. To compare the overall objective tumor response rate between ZD1839 and docetaxel

  4. To compare patient-reported functionality (PRF) and quality of life (QoL) between ZD1839 and docetaxel

  5. To compare safety and tolerability of ZD1839 and docetaxel

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gefitinib and Docetaxel in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by AstraZeneca at 162 sites in 25 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 162 sites in United States, Germany, Canada, Italy, France and 20 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare overall survival between ZD1839 and docetaxel. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00076388, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2011.
