About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Of ZD1839 (NSC #715055) In Renal Cell Carcinoma Stage IV And Renal Cell Carcinoma Recurrent

RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as ZD 1839 may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and slow the growth of kidney cancer.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ZD 1839 in treating patients who have recurrent or stage IV kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate in patients with progressive stage IV or recurrent renal cell cancer treated with ZD 1839.
  • Determine the median time to objective progression in these patients receiving this drug.
  • Determine the toxic effects of this drug in this patient population.
  • Determine if epidermal growth factor receptor expression in tumor tissue correlates with response and survival of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral ZD 1839 daily. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 8 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-45 patients will be accrued for this study within 11-23 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gefitinib in people with Kidney Cancer, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore at 2 sites 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?

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 7 Nov 2019. 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 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. 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.

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 7 Nov 2019.
