What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Had an Objective Response Rate(ORR) Based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria.

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as participants who had complete response (CR) or partial response(PR) divided by the total number of patients.

    RECIST criteria:

    CR = disappearance of all target lesions PR = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions PD = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions SD (stable disease) = small changes that do not meet above criteria

    Measured: baseline to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression free survival calculated using Kaplan-Meier Product Limit. Median PFS was not able to be calculated because the rate of PFS was below 50% at the end of follow-up period. Therefore, PFS percentage at 4 months is provided.

    Measured: baseline to 4 months

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Median Overal survival was not able to be calculated because the rate of OS was below 50% at the end of follow-up period. Therefore, OS percentage at 12 months is provided.

    Measured: baseline to 12 months

  3. Safety Profile: Participants With Adverse Events

    Safety profile as defined by adverse events and serious adverse events throughtout the study period. Details listed in the SAE and Other AE section.

    Measured: baseline to end of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gefitinib in people with Pulmonary Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 2 sites in South Korea.

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 3 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 29 Jun 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea. 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 4 Jun 2010). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Had an Objective Response Rate(ORR) Based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria. (time frame: baseline to 12 months). 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 NCT00344773, 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 29 Jun 2010.
