About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II, Multicentre Clinical Study Of ZD1839 (Iressa™) In Combination With Capecitabine (Xeloda™) In Subjects With Advanced Colorectal Carcinoma After Failure Of First-Line Chemotherapy

The primary objective of the Phase I part of the study is to determine the recommended dose of capecitabine to be administered in combination with ZD1839 250 mg orally once daily in subjects with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer by assessing DLTs.

The primary objective of the Phase II part of the study is to estimate the objective response rate (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) at study closure for ZD1839 administered in combination with capecitabine in subjects with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST).

Being tested
Gefitinib and capecitabine

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective tumour response (CR and PR) at study closure based on the RECIST

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of controlled disease (CR, PR and SD) at study closure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Gefitinib and capecitabine in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 6 sites in Spain.

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 23 Apr 2009. 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 Spain. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Objective tumour response (CR and PR) at study closure based on the RECIST. 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 23 Apr 2009.
