About this study

This study is a multicentre, open label, non-comparative, two stage phase II trial to assess the activity of ZD1839 (IRESSA) in patients with malignant mesothelioma. Patients will receive trial treatment as first-line therapy, administered continuously once daily until the completion of six 4-week cycles of treatment, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent. Patients continuing to show evidence of response, disease stabilization or clinical benefit from ZD1839 may continue to receive therapy beyond completion of the trail.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the activity of ZD1839 in patients with malignant mesothelioma by estimating the objective response rate (CR and PR) at trial closure

    Measured: Proportion of patients responding at trial closure, ITT population

  2. To further characterize the safety profile of ZD1839 at a 250mg daily dose

    Measured: Proportion of patients responding at trial closure, ITT population

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To estimate PFS (progression free survival)

    Measured: Proportion of patients alive and progression-free at trial closure, ITT population; Median time to progression or death; Proportion of patients alive and progression-free at 6 months

  2. To estimate overall survival

    Measured: Proportion of patients alive at trial closure, ITT population; Median time to death; Proportion of patients alive at 6 months

  3. To estimate duration of response

    Measured: Median time from objective response to progression or death; only patients who responded are included in this analysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ZD1839 in people with Mesothelioma, run by AstraZeneca.

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 4 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.

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?

To assess the activity of ZD1839 in patients with malignant mesothelioma by estimating the objective response rate (CR and PR) at trial closure (time frame: Proportion of patients responding at trial closure, ITT population). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
