What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. To estimate the overall response rates (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) in the ZD1839-treated group and the placebo-treated group.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. o To assess progression-free survival (PFS) in the ZD1839-treated group and the placebo-treated group.

  2. o To estimate the duration of response in the ZD1839-treated group and the placebo treated group

  3. o To estimate overall survival in the ZD1839-treated group and the placebo-treated group

  4. o To estimate time to treatment failure (TTF) in the ZD1839-treated group and the placebo treated group

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gefitinib and Docetaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 5 sites in France.

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 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

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 estimate the overall response rates (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) in the ZD1839-treated group and the placebo-treated group.. 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?
