ZD 1839 in Treating Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme
This study is currently recruiting patients.

National Cancer Institute (NCI)
North Central Cancer Treatment Group
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as ZD 1839 may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and slow the growth of glioblastoma multiforme .
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ZD 1839 in treating patients who have glioblastoma multiforme.
Condition Treatment or Intervention Phase
adult glioblastoma multiforme Drug: ZD 1839 Phase II
Study Type: Treatment
Official Title: Phase II Study of ZD 1839 in Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme
Further Study Details:
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine treatment effectiveness in terms of response rate, time to progression, survival at 48 weeks, progression-free survival at 6 months, and overall survival in patients with glioblastoma multiforme treated with ZD 1839.
II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
III. Assess fatigue, depression, excessive daytime somnolence, and quality of life in these patients treated with this drug.
IV. Assess individual variation in responses, pharmacokinetic parameters, and/or biological correlates due to genetic differences in enzymes involved in transport, metabolism, and/or mechanism of action of this drug in these patients.
V. Determine if the type of epidermal growth factor receptor affects tumor response in patients treated with this drug.
PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive oral ZD 1839 daily. Courses repeat every 8 weeks for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline, before each treatment course, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 4 years, and then annually for 5 years.
Patients are followed every 8 weeks until tumor progression.
Patients removed from study treatment for reasons other than disease progression are followed every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 4 years, and then annually for 5 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 92 patients will be accrued for this study within 14 months.
