May 20, 2010 updated by: AstraZeneca

An International Expanded Access Clinical Programme With ZD1839 (IRESSATM) for Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) China Amendment 1: A Study on the Long Term Survivals in an Expand Access Program (EAP) of Iressa

The primary objective is to describe the quality of life of long-term survivors who are not terminated from the EAP.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 1
Long term survivors who has been used IRESSA for more than 3 years and are still on gefitinib treatment
Explore the EGFR mutation status from both tumour tissue sample and the free DNA in the peripheral blood using appropriate method(s) which may include ARMS assay, ME-PCR coupled sequencing and regular sequencing.
Ki-67 protein expression in tissue will be analysed by IHC method.
No Intervention: 2
Long term survivors who has been used IRESSA for more than 3 years but have already terminated from EAP
No Intervention: 3
Fast-progressors who defined as no more than 1 follow-up visit after recruitment with the reason of discontinuation being

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Describe the quality of life of long-term survivors who are not terminated from the EAP

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
To describe the current tumour control status via RECIST
To collect the risk factors related to prognosis in addition to the information already collected from EAP (age, gender, histology, smoking history, previous history of anti-cancer treatment, disease stage before starting gefitinib treatment, etc.)
To describe the treatment compliance of gefitinib in these patients
To describe the current clinical status of long-term survivors in the EAP program by clinical
To compare the key clinical features (age group, gender, histology, smoking history, disease stage, treatment-naive or pre-treated, response to prior chemotherapy,) in fast-progressors versus long-term survivals.
