  • Life expectancy of ≥ 8 weeks.

Who cannot join

  • Known severe hypersensitivity to ZD1839 or any of the excipients of these products.
  • Any evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease (subjects with chronic, stable, radiographic changes who are asymptomatic need not be excluded).
  • Other co-existing malignancies or malignancies diagnosed within the last 5 years with the exception of basal cell carcinoma or cervical cancer in situ.
  • Any unresolved chronic toxicity greater than common toxicity criteria (CTC) grade 2 from previous anticancer therapy excluding peripheral neuropathy or alopecia.
  • Evidence of any significant clinical disorder or laboratory finding that makes it undesirable for the subject to participate in the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ZD1839 in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by AstraZeneca.

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 9 inclusion and 10 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Jan 2013.
