Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase II Study of Docetaxel + ZD1839 in Elderly Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT NCT00231465)

NCT ID: NCT00231465

Last Updated: 2017-03-03

Results Overview

ORR: Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR). Response rate for Elderly (\> 70 years) previously untreated patients with Stage IIIb (With Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE)) or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving Taxotere + ZD1839. Best clinical response to treatment with combination was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST V1.0): \* Complete Response (CR)- Disappearance of all target lesions; \* Partial Response (PR)- At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD; \* Progressive Disease (PD)- At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions; \* Stable Disease (SD)- Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

Measure
Taxotere® (Docetaxel) + ZD1839 (IRESSA®)
Eligible patients were treated with docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every three weeks and gefitinib 250 mg orally daily. Docetaxel and ZD1839 (gefitinib) were given for two cycles beyond maximal response. Gefitinib was continued until disease progression. Co-morbidities and activities of daily living were assessed (IADL).

Measure
Taxotere® (Docetaxel) + ZD1839 (IRESSA®)
n=44 Participants
Patients will receive Taxotere at 75 mg/m2 given IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of a three week cycle. ZD1839 will be administered orally at 250mg daily starting on day one, concurrently with the Taxotere. ZD1839 : ZD1839 will be continued until progression, or until trial closure, whichever comes first. docetaxel (Taxotere®) : Taxotere® will be administered to patients a maximum of 2 cycles, after a maximal response is achieved, and then discontinued.

Interval 26.0 to 57.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Duration of time on study, an average of 19 months

Population: All participants who initiated therapy between March 2003 and May 2005

PFS was calculated from the date of enrollment to the date of progression. All 44 treated were assessed for PFS, with a minimum follow-up of 19 months. Progression (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as references the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
