About this study
Although initially responsive to cytoreductive surgery and platinum- and/or taxane-based chemotherapy, a majority of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, cancer of the fallopian tube or the peritoneum will eventually relapse. Recurrence within 6 months after completing platinum-containing chemotherapy indicates a platinum-refractory cancer disease. New therapeutic strategies are required in platinum-refractory disease. Inhibition of growth signals induced by the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway, or by the estrogen receptor pathway provides promising targets in epithelial ovarian cancer, cancer of the fallopian tube or the peritoneum. The trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of the epidermal growth facto tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZD1839 and the clinically established antiestrogen tamoxifen.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Although initially responsive to cytoreductive surgery and platinum- and/or taxane-based chemotherapy, a majority of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, cancer of the fallopian tube or the peritoneum will eventually relapse. Recurrence within 6 months after completing platinum-containing chemotherapy indicates a platinum-refractory cancer disease. New therapeutic strategies are required in platinum-refractory disease. Inhibition of growth signals induced by the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway, or by the estrogen receptor pathway provides promising targets in epithelial ovarian cancer, cancer of the fallopian tube or the peritoneum. The trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of the epidermal growth facto tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZD1839 and the clinically established antiestrogen tamoxifen.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ZD1839 and tamoxifen in people with Ovarian Cancer and Cancer of the Fallopian Tube, run by AGO Study Group at 1 site in Germany.
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 1 inclusion and 1 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 20 Jul 2010. 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 Germany. 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?
Safety and tolerability. 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 NCT00189358, 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 20 Jul 2010.
