About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of ZD1839 (Iressa) Plus Anastrozole (Arimidex) in Patients With Relapsed Ovarian Cancer

The main purpose of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) Iressa plus anastrozole has on patients with relapsed ovarian cancer.

Read the detailed description
  • Patients will receive Iressa and anastrozole orally once daily until treatment is ended. Treatment will end if any of the following occur: Unacceptable adverse effects; bowel obstruction; initiation of systemic chemotherapy; development of new ascites or pleural effusions, development of co-morbid disease or disease progression.
  • Patients will be given a drug log in which to record the date and time they take their pills, as well as any symptoms and concomitant medications.
  • Patients will be seen monthly for the following tests and procedures; a physical examination and repeat blood work. Patients who remain free of clinical symptoms should have repeat abdominal/pelvic CT scans and chest x-rays on an every 3 month basis.

  • Iressa (ZD1839)Drug

  • Arimidex (Anastrozole)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. To define the median time to termination of treatment with Iressa and anastrozole in patients with asymptomatic relapsed ovarian cancer.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To define the median time to progression of this patient population

  2. to assess the tumor response and safety of this treatment.

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 define the median time to termination of treatment with Iressa and anastrozole in patients with asymptomatic relapsed ovarian cancer.. 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 5 Dec 2012.
