What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate

    The ORR is the number of patients that are responders ie those patients with a confirmed best objective response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) defined according to RECIST 1.0.

    Measured: Pre-dose and every 12 weeks up to RECIST progression as defined according to RECIST 1.0.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progression Free Survival

    Median time to progression defined according to RECIST 1.0 (months) from randomisation until objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression) provided death is within 3 months from the last evaluable RECIST assessment.

    Measured: Pre-dose and every 12 weeks up to RECIST progression as defined according to RECIST 1.0.

  2. Duration of Objective Response

    Median duration of objective response as defined according to RECIST 1.0 from onset of response until data of objective disease progression or death from any cause in days.

    Measured: Pre-dose and every 12 weeks up to RECIST progression as defined according to RECIST 1.0.

  3. Disease Control Rate

    Disease control rate was defined as the number of patients who had a best response of Complete Response (CR), or Partial Response (PR) or stable disease (SD) ≥24 weeks as defined according to RECIST 1.0.

    Measured: Pre-dose and every 12 weeks up to RECIST progression as defined according to RECIST 1.0.

  4. Biochemical Response Calcitonin (CTN)

    A patient's best biochemical response was calculated from assessments performed at baseline and during treatment. Responders were those patients with a confirmed best biochemical response of Complete Response or Partial (i.e. complete normalization of CTN or at least a 50% decrease in CTN from baseline).

    Measured: Blood samples for analysis of CTN taken on Day 1 (every 3 hours for 24 hours), then a single sample on Day 5, weekly through the first 2 assessment periods, monthly (prior to amendment 7) and every 12 weeks (following amendments) until discontinuation

  5. Symptomatic Response

    Number of participants with a reduction of frequency and improvement in consistency of stool to normal (no more than 2 solid stools daily without concomitant anti-diarrheal medication) following administration of Caprelsa (vandetanib) denoted a symptomatic CR. An improvement in stool consistency to mostly semisolid and decrease in stool frequency to 50% or greater denoted symptomatic PR.

    Measured: Symptomatic diarrhea was assessed using stool frequency and consistency diaries. Baseline was established using the average of the 4 days immediately prior to first dose on Day 5. Diaries were completed every day for the first 6 months on study drug.

  6. World Health Organisation (WHO) Performance Status

    Number of patients demonstrating a worsening (increase in score of one or more from baseline) in WHO PS from baseline to 24 weeks. WHO PS is scored zero (Fully active) to 4 (completely disabled)

    Measured: Performance status was assessed using the WHO criteria at baseline and because SD lasting for at least 24 weeks was used in the definition of disease control (in addition to confirmed objective response), WHO PS at 24 weeks was evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ZD6474 (vandetanib) in people with Thyroid Cancer, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 6 sites in 2 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 7 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 May 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: Pre-dose and every 12 weeks up to RECIST progression as defined according to RECIST 1.0.). 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 NCT00098345, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 May 2018.
