What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR)

    Percentage of participants with OR based on assessment of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CR: disappearance of all target/non-target lesions and no appearance of new lesions. PR: at least (>=)30 percent(%) decrease in sum of the longest dimensions (LDs) of the target lesions (taking as a reference the baseline sum), without progression of non-target lesions and no appearance of new lesions. Confirmed responses: those persist on repeat imaging study >=4 weeks after initial documentation of response.

    Measured: Baseline until disease progression or initiation of antitumor therapy or death due to any cause, assessed every 8 weeks up to 28 days after last dose (follow-up)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS: Time in weeks from the start of study treatment to first documentation of objective disease progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PFS was calculated as (first event date minus the date of first dose of study treatment plus 1) divided by 7. Progression is defined using RECIST, as >=20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since start of study and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions and/or appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline until disease progression or initiation of antitumor therapy or death due to any cause, assessed every 8 weeks up to 28 days after last dose (follow-up)

  2. Duration of Response (DR)

    Time in weeks from the first documentation of objective tumor response to objective tumor progression or death due to any cause. Duration of tumor response was calculated as (the date of the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause minus the date of the first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed plus 1) divided by 7. DR was calculated for the subgroup of participants with a confirmed objective tumor response.

    Measured: Baseline until disease progression or initiation of antitumor therapy or death due to any cause, assessed every 8 weeks up to 28 days after last dose (follow-up)

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time in weeks from the start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause. OS was calculated as (the death date minus the date of first dose of study medication plus 1) divided by 7. Death was determined from adverse event data (where outcome was death) or from follow-up contact data (where the participant current status was death).

    Measured: Baseline to death due to any cause or at least 2 year after the first dose for the last participant

  4. Change From Baseline in MD Anderson Symptom Assessment Inventory (MDASI) Symptom Severity Score

    Symptom severity score is comprised of average of 13 MDASI core items (pain, fatigue, nausea, disturbed sleep, distressed, shortness of breath, remembering things, lack of appetite, drowsy, dry mouth, sadness, vomiting, numbness or tingling). Participants were asked to rate severity of each symptom at their worst in last 24 hours; each item rated from 0 to 10, with 0 = symptom not present and 10 = as bad as you can imagine. Total average score range: 0 to 10. Lower scores indicated better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 1 Day 15 (C1D15), C2D1, C2D15, thereafter D1 of each cycle up to 28 days after last dose (follow-up)

  5. Change From Baseline in MD Anderson Symptom Assessment Inventory (MDASI) Symptom Interference Score

    Symptom interference score is comprised of average of 6 function items from MDASI core (general activity, mood, work, relations with others, walking, and enjoyment of life). Participants were asked to rate how much symptoms have interfered in last 24 hours; each item rated from 0 to 10, with 0 = did not interfere and 10 = interfered completely. Total average score range: 0 to 10. Lower scores indicated better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 1 Day 15 (C1D15), C2D1, C2D15, thereafter D1 of each cycle up to 28 days after last dose (follow-up)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AG-013736 in people with Thyroid Neoplasms, run by Pfizer at 26 sites in 9 countries.

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 25 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in United States, China, Canada, Italy, Poland and 4 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Nov 2013). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR) (time frame: Baseline until disease progression or initiation of antitumor therapy or death due to any cause, assessed every 8 weeks up to 28 days after last dose (follow-up)). 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 NCT00389441, 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 25 Nov 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
