About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial to Evaluate ZD1839(Iressa™) and Concurrent Chemo-Radiation in Patients With Locally Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

The primary objective of the trial is to determine the Maximum tolerated dose, if any, of the combination of daily ZD1839 250 mg with carboplatin AUC 2 and 60 Gray (Gy) irradiation and up to 45 mg/m2 paclitaxel.

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 determine the Maximum tolerated dose, if any, of the combination of daily ZD1839 250 mg with carboplatin AUC 2 and 60 Gray (Gy) irradiation and up to 45 mg/m2 paclitaxel.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. To evaluate the activity potential of the combination of ZD1839, carboplatin, paclitaxel & radiation therapy

  2. Estimating the objective response rate (complete response [CR] & partial response [PR]) as assessed by positron emission tomography with (18F)-labelled fluorodeoxyglucose (PET-FDG)

  3. To estimate the objective response rate (CR and PR) as assessed by computerised tomography (CT) scan

  4. To estimate the complete response rate (CR) as assessed by PET-FDG

  5. To estimate progression free survival (PFS) as assessed by clinical examination, chest x-ray, CT scan ± PET-FDG

  6. To estimate overall survival

  7. To characterise the safety and tolerability of ZD1839 combined with concurrent carboplatin, paclitaxel and radiation

  8. To determine the site of first failure (characterised as local-regional, distant or both)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Gefitinib, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in people with Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by AstraZeneca at 2 sites in Australia.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 19 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 2 sites in Australia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 determine the Maximum tolerated dose, if any, of the combination of daily ZD1839 250 mg with carboplatin AUC 2 and 60 Gray (Gy) irradiation and up to 45 mg/m2 paclitaxel.. 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 19 Dec 2007.
