About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Group, Regional, Multicenter, Phase III Study of Oral Gefitinib (IRESSA®) Versus Intravenous Docetaxel (TAXOTERE®) in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Recurrent Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Previously Received Platinum Based Chemotherapy (ISTANA)

This is a randomized, open-label, parallel group, phase III, multicenter, regional study. The total number of patients expected to be exposed to study procedures is approximately 150 patients will be recruited by investigational sites throughout the Asia Pacific region that have expertise in treating patients with NSCLC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare progression free survival between patients on gefitinib or on docetaxel by Progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors

    Measured: Survival

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To compare the overall objective tumor response rates between patients on gefitinib or on docetaxel by overall objective tumor response (complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)) using RECIST criteria.

    Measured: Survival

  2. To compare changes in quality of life (QoL) between patients on gefitinib or on docetaxel by QoL as measured by the FACT-L total score

    Measured: Every Visit

  3. For those patients who are symptomatic at baseline to compare improvement in symptom control between patients on gefitinib or on docetaxel by the FACT-L LCS (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung Lung Cancer Subscale).

    Measured: Each Visit

  4. To compare the safety and tolerability of gefitinib and of docetaxel by Frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) and laboratory parameters.

    Measured: Every Visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gefitinib and Docetaxel in people with NSCLC, run by AstraZeneca at 4 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 4 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 6 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Compare progression free survival between patients on gefitinib or on docetaxel by Progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (time frame: Survival). 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 6 Jun 2012.
