Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the 1-year overall survival rate in patients with previously treated locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction treated with gefitinib as maintenance therapy.
Secondary
-
Determine disease-free survival and time to disease recurrence in patients treated with this drug.
-
Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
-
Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this drug.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive oral gefitinib once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, every 12 weeks during study treatment, and then at the end of study treatment.
Patients are followed every 3 months for up to 5 years.
