Brief Title

Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Stage IB, II, or IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Was Completely Removed by Surgery

Official Title

A Phase III Prospective Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Antagonist, ZD1839 (IRESSA) in Completely Resected Primary Stage IB, II and IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Brief Summary

      This randomized phase III trial studies how well gefitinib works in treating patients with
      stage IB, II, or IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that was completely removed by surgery.
      Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell
      growth. It is not yet known if gefitinib may be an effective treatment in preventing tumors
      from returning after they have been removed by surgery.
    

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess, in comparison with placebo, the impact of adjuvant therapy with two years of
      daily oral ZD1839 (IRESSA) (gefitinib) on the overall survival of patients with completely
      resected (T1N1-2, T2N0-2, T3N0-2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare the disease-free survival in the placebo arm to the ZD1839 (IRESSA) arm.

      II. To confirm the prognostic significance of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)
      expression, phosphorylation and mutations when present in the primary tumor.

      III. To assess the ability of EGFR expression, phosphorylation and mutations in the primary
      tumor to predict the relative impact of ZD1839 (IRESSA) on survival.

      IV. To establish a comprehensive tumour bank linked to a clinical database for the further
      study of molecular markers in resected NSCLC.

      V. To further evaluate toxicity related to ZD1839 (IRESSA).

      OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

      ARM I: Patients receive gefitinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 2 years in the absence of
      disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO QD for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 6 months,
      every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

             node sampling should have been attempted; if a complete mediastinal lymph node
             resection or lymph node sampling was not undertaken, any mediastinal lymph node which
             measured 1.5 cm or more on the pre-surgical computed tomography (CT)/magnetic
             resonance imaging (MRI) scan or any area of increased uptake in the mediastinum on a

             pre-surgical PET scan is not mandatory

               -  The nodal tissue must be labelled according to the recommendations of the
                  American Thoracic Society; surgeons are encouraged to dissect or sample all
                  accessible nodal levels; the desirable levels for biopsy are:

                    -  Right upper lobe: 4, 7, 10
