Show all 25Show fewer
- Serum calcium above the CTCAE grade 1 upper limit; in cases where the serum calcium is below the normal range, 2 options would be available: 1) the calcium adjusted for albumin is to be obtained and substituted for the measured serum value; exclusion is to then be based on the adjusted for albumin values falling below the normal limit; 2) Determine the ionized calcium levels; if these ionized calcium levels are out of normal range despite supplementation, then the patient must be excluded

- History of arrhythmia (multifocal premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), bigeminy, trigeminy, ventricular tachycardia, or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation), which is symptomatic or requires treatment (CTCAE grade 3) or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia; atrial fibrillation, controlled on medication is not excluded

About this study
Official title: Randomized Placebo- Controlled Pilot Study of ZD6474 as a Chemopreventive Agent for Premalignant Lesions of the Head and Neck
This randomized phase II trial studies how well vandetanib works in preventing head and neck cancer in patients with precancerous head and neck lesions. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of vandetanib may keep cancer from forming in patients with premalignant lesions
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- Determine the effect of ZD6474 (vandetanib) compared to placebo on microvessel density (MVD) from baseline to 3 months in patients at risk for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with preneoplastic lesions.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- Change in MVD over 6 months. II. Change in putative targets of ZD6474: tissues will be analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (pEGFR), EGFR, phosphorylated-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (pVEGFR2), VEGFR2.
III. Change in proliferative index as measured by Ki-67 IHC. IV. Safety, tolerability, and adherence to ZD6474 for 6 months in patients at risk for OSCC.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
- Compare OSCC incidence in both study arms (ZD6474 and placebo).
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive vandetanib orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 6 months. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO QD for 6 months. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 9 and 12 months and then every 6 months for 2 years.
- Conditions
- Lip and Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Oral Cavity Verrucous Carcinoma, Precancerous Condition
- Being tested
- vandetanib, placebo, immunohistochemistry staining method, laboratory biomarker analysis, biopsy

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Comparison Between Treatment Groups of the Within-patient Change in MVD Score Following Treatment Initiation
A Wilcoxon ranksum test may be used if the normality assumption is not satisfied. Alternatively, change in MVD may be transformed (e.g. log-transformation) to satisfy the normality assumption. Additional analyses will include linear regression models with treatment effect and other prognostic factors as covariates.
Measured: Baseline to 3 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing vandetanib, immunohistochemistry staining method and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Lip and Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Oral Cavity Verrucous Carcinoma, run by University of Chicago at 1 site in United States.
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 8 inclusion and 25 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 14 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 14 Jan 2021). 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?
Comparison Between Treatment Groups of the Within-patient Change in MVD Score Following Treatment Initiation (time frame: Baseline to 3 months). 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 14 Jan 2021.
