AExperimentalGemcitabine administered intravenously at 1200 mg/m2 over 30 minutes on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle up to plus Vandetanib 100 mg orally once-daily, from Day 1.Patients will receive gemcitabine for up to a maximum of 6 cycles, after which period patients should continue on daily oral dosing with vandetanib alone until progression. Once a patient has met the study criteria for disease progression on vandetanib/gemcitabine or placebo/gemcitabine, randomised treatment must be permanently discontinued.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    Measured: Oct 2008- dec 2011

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival

    Measured: Oct 2008- dec 2011

  2. Overall Objective Response

    Measured: Oct 2008- dec 2011

  3. Duration of Response

    Measured: Oct 2008- dec 2011

  4. The Safety and Tolerability Profile of ZD6474 (Vandetanib) in Combination With Gemcitabine

    The Safety and Tolerability Profile of ZD6474 (Vandetanib) in Combination With Gemcitabine is defined as the number of Adverse Events which includes any symptoms and/or Clinically Significant Laboratory or Vital Signs Abnormalities, and/or ECGs Changes

    Measured: Oct 2008- Dec 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ZD6474, Vandetanib and Gemcitabine in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 15 sites in Italy.

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 17 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Italy. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 28 Sep 2012). 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?

Progression Free Survival (time frame: Oct 2008- dec 2011). 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 NCT00753714, 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 17 Oct 2016.
