Primary Outcome Measures:
- To define the median time to termination of treatment with Iressa and anastrozole in patients with asymptomatic relapsed ovarian cancer.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To define the median time to progression of this patient population
- to assess the tumor response and safety of this treatment.
| Estimated Enrollment: | 35 |
| Study Start Date: | October 2003 |
| Study Completion Date: | March 2006 |
| Primary Completion Date: | March 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
- Patients will receive Iressa and anastrozole orally once daily until treatment is ended. Treatment will end if any of the following occur: Unacceptable adverse effects; bowel obstruction; initiation of systemic chemotherapy; development of new ascites or pleural effusions, development of co-morbid disease or disease progression.
- Patients will be given a drug log in which to record the date and time they take their pills, as well as any symptoms and concomitant medications.
- Patients will be seen monthly for the following tests and procedures; a physical examination and repeat blood work. Patients who remain free of clinical symptoms should have repeat abdominal/pelvic CT scans and chest x-rays on an every 3 month basis.
