Information provided by:	National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00014144

Purpose

RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as ZD 1839 may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and slow the growth of cancer of the urinary tract.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ZD 1839 in treating patients who have advanced cancer of the urinary tract.

Study Start Date:

February 2001

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Determine the 6-month progression-free survival rate of patients with advanced transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium treated with ZD 1839.
Determine the overall survival and response (confirmed complete and partial response) in these patients treated with this regimen.
Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
Evaluate the changes in growth factor protein kinase expression before and after treatment and at the time of disease progression in these patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral ZD 1839 once daily. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30-55 patients will be accrued for this study.
