What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.0 (Therasse et al. Natl Cancer Inst 92 (2000) pp205-216).

    Measured: 8 weeks after study drug begins & and every 8 wks thereafter until discontinuation of study drug ( maximum treatment period of 309 days (44 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 8 weeks from the first administration of study drug. RECIST guidelines:(Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors, version 1.0).

    Measured: 8 weeks after study drug begins & every 8 weeks thereafter until discontinuation of the study ( maximum treatment period of 309 days (44 weeks)

  2. Duration of Objective Tumor Response (OTR)

    Time in weeks from the date of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), whichever occurs earlier, to the date of discontinuation of study. RECIST guidelines:(Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors, version 1.0)

    Measured: Time from first documentation of Complete or Partial Response, whichever occurs earlier, to discontinuation of the study drug (maximum treatment period of 309 days (44 weeks)

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time in weeks from date of first study drug administration to the date of progressive disease according to the RECIST guidelines (Response evaluation in solid tumors, version 1.0), or death due to any cause.

    Measured: Time from the first administration of study drug to disease progression or death (maximum treatment period of 309 days (44 weeks)

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time in weeks from the first administration of study drug to death.

    Measured: Time from the first administration of study drug to disease progression or death (maximum treatment period of 309 days (44 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD4877 in people with Bladder Cancer and Transitional Cell Bladder Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 36 sites in 5 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 12 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 36 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Spain. 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 12 Jan 2011). 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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) (time frame: 8 weeks after study drug begins & and every 8 wks thereafter until discontinuation of study drug ( maximum treatment period of 309 days (44 weeks)). 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 NCT00661609, 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 12 Jan 2011.
