About this study

Official title: A Multicentre, Randomised, Open-Label, Parallel-Group, Phase III Post-Marketing Clinical Study to Compare the Overall Survival Between Gefitinib and Docetaxel in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic (Stage IIIB/IV), or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Who Have Failed One or Two Chemotherapy Regimens

In this study, among the patients with non-small cell lung cancer, those with metastasis or recurrence and previous treatment with chemotherapy will receive gefitinib or docetaxel, and we will compare the effectiveness and safety of gefitinib with docetaxel.

Being tested
Gefitinib or Docetaxel
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What participants receive

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

  • Gefitinib or DocetaxelDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the overall survival with these treatments as the primary outcome.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Determine the followings as the secondary outcome variables:

  2. - Progression-free survival (PFS)

  3. - Time to treatment failure (TTF)

  4. - Objective tumour response (CR, PR) and the disease control rate (CR, PR, SD [≥12 weeks]) based on the RECIST guidelines

  5. - Lung cancer subscale (LCS)

  6. - QOL according to FACT-L questionnaire

  7. - Frequency and severity of adverse events.

  8. Determine the followings as the exploratory outcome variables:

  9. - Biomarkers related to expression, activation and dimerisation of EGFR and other ErbB family receptors and associated pathways including downstream signalling pathways

  10. - Biomarkers related to somatic (non-inheritable) mutation analyses of genes of the ErbB family, their signalling pathways and associated pathways which are thought to be influenced by gefitinib in tumour cells.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gefitinib or Docetaxel in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 40 sites in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 18 Dec 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 sites in Japan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Determine the overall survival with these treatments as the primary outcome.. 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 NCT00252707, 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 18 Dec 2007.
