About this study

Official title: An International Expanded Access Clinical Programme With ZD1839 (IRESSATM) for Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) China Amendment 1: A Study on the Long Term Survivals in an Expand Access Program (EAP) of Iressa

The primary objective is to describe the quality of life of long-term survivors who are not terminated from the EAP.

Being tested
EGFR Mutation Test, Ki-67 protein expression
Keywords
EAP, Long term survival (3 years), Gefitinib, efficacy
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EGFR Mutation TestGenetic

    Explore the EGFR mutation status from both tumour tissue sample and the free DNA in the peripheral blood using appropriate method(s) which may include ARMS assay, ME-PCR coupled sequencing and regular sequencing.

  • Ki-67 protein expressionGenetic

    Ki-67 protein expression in tissue will be analysed by IHC method.

What is being measured

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

  1. Describe the quality of life of long-term survivors who are not terminated from the EAP

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To describe the current tumour control status via RECIST

  2. To collect the risk factors related to prognosis in addition to the information already collected from EAP (age, gender, histology, smoking history, previous history of anti-cancer treatment, disease stage before starting gefitinib treatment, etc.)

  3. To describe the treatment compliance of gefitinib in these patients

  4. To describe the current clinical status of long-term survivors in the EAP program by clinical

  5. To compare the key clinical features (age group, gender, histology, smoking history, disease stage, treatment-naive or pre-treated, response to prior chemotherapy,) in fast-progressors versus long-term survivals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing EGFR Mutation Test and Ki-67 protein expression in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 9 sites in China.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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 21 May 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Describe the quality of life of long-term survivors who are not terminated from the EAP. 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 NCT01000740, 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 21 May 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
