Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, travels to or treatment with a real dr.. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD on Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical research trials and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer medical trials occur in many of places across the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectiveness of new does drugs. The role of the studies / undertakings is to figure out certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to locate treatments for all forms of circumstances, including Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to get medical treatment options before they are available to the masses. Most times the human subjects acquire treatment for free of charge, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer clinical trial. Participants oftentimes recieve the finest healthcare available for their Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer condition. Dangers are a reality, nonetheless, and might include extra or frequent physician calls, health hazards (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer



Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

For Condition: bronchoalveolar cell lung cancer,stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer,stage 3B non-small cell lung cancer,recurrent non-small cell lung cancer
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Southwest Oncology Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as gefitinib may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and slow the growth of non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of gefitinib in treating patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the 1-year survival, progression-free survival, and overall survival in patients with stage IIIB or IV bronchoalveolar carcinoma treated with gefitinib. - Determine the frequency and severity of toxic effects of this drug in these patients. - Determine the response rate in patients with measurable disease treated with this drug. - Correlate epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and EGFR variant III overexpression with clinical outcome in patients treated with this drug. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior systemic treatment for bronchoalveolar carcinoma (yes vs no). (The previously untreated stratum closed to accrual as of 2/15/2003.) Patients receive oral gefitinib once daily. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 90 patients (55 for the previously untreated stratum and 35 for the previously treated stratum) will be accrued for this study within 24 months. (The previously untreated stratum closed to accrual as of 2/15/2003.)
