Trial Outcomes & Findings for Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Esophageal or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer (NCT NCT00268346)

NCT ID: NCT00268346

Last Updated: 2016-01-05

Results Overview

The overall response is the number of patients with the best response recorded in measurable disease (target lesions) from start to disease progression.Complete response is the number of patients with the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response is the number of patients with larger than or equal to 30% decrease in sum of the longest diameters from baseline. Progressive disease is larger than or equal to 20% increase in sum of the longest diameters over the smallest sum observed or appearance of new lesions. Stable disease is neither PR nor PD criteria met.

Measure
No Prior Chem Therapy
Patients receive oral gefitinib once daily for at least 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Prior Chemotherapy
Patients may not have received more than one previous systemic treatment regimen. Systemic treatment may have been given as part of definitive (adjuvant, neoadjuvant, concurrent, or sequential) management or for metastatic or recurrent disease. Patients receive oral gefitinib once daily for at least 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: at 8 weeks after initiation of treatment

Population: All patients enrolled were analyzed

The overall response is the number of patients with the best response recorded in measurable disease (target lesions) from start to disease progression.Complete response is the number of patients with the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response is the number of patients with larger than or equal to 30% decrease in sum of the longest diameters from baseline. Progressive disease is larger than or equal to 20% increase in sum of the longest diameters over the smallest sum observed or appearance of new lesions. Stable disease is neither PR nor PD criteria met.
