About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Iressa (Gefitinib), in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and in Older Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to determine how effective, and to what extent, Iressa is in the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia.

Read the detailed description

Patients will receive Iressa daily until either disease progression or intolerable toxicity develops. On Day 1 of treatment, a physical exam and bloodwork will be performed. Once weekly for the first 8 weeks, a physical exam and complete blood count with differential will be performed.

For the first year, a physical exam, bloodwork will be performed monthly. Bone marrow biopsies will be performed after the first month of therapy and then every 3 months for the first year. After the first year a physical exam, bloodwork will be performed every 3 months and bone marrow biopsies every 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gefitinib in people with Myelogenous Leukemia, Acute, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

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 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 1 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

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 determine the response rate of Iressa in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 1 May 2014.
