CE-3 IRESSA ® 3rd-Line Program Rationale No effective treatment following 2nd-line therapy Disease progression inevitable Symptom worsening likely No effective treatment following 2nd-line therapy Disease progression inevitable Symptom worsening likely
CE-4 Study Aims Determine for each dose Objective response rate § Symptom improvement rate § Safety profile Randomization 250 mg versus 500 mg daily oral doses Determine for each dose Objective response rate § Symptom improvement rate § Safety profile Randomization 250 mg versus 500 mg daily oral doses Trial 39 §Hypothesis: > 5% response and symptom improvement rate.
CE-5 Rationale for Dose Selection 250 mg –Above the lowest dose at which clinical response seen 500 mg –Highest dose level that is well tolerated chronically by most patients 250 mg –Above the lowest dose at which clinical response seen 500 mg –Highest dose level that is well tolerated chronically by most patients
CE-6 Prior Therapy Inclusion Criteria Received prior treatment with at least 2 chemotherapy regimens that contained platinum and docetaxel, given concurrently or as separate regimens Prior regimens must have failed the patient because of disease progression on therapy or unacceptable toxicity Patients who entered trial due to disease progression on therapy had to have documentation that their most recent dose of chemotherapy was within 90 days prior to this progression Received prior treatment with at least 2 chemotherapy regimens that contained platinum and docetaxel, given concurrently or as separate regimens Prior regimens must have failed the patient because of disease progression on therapy or unacceptable toxicity Patients who entered trial due to disease progression on therapy had to have documentation that their most recent dose of chemotherapy was within 90 days prior to this progression Trial 39
CE-7 3rd-Line NSCLC Patient Eligibility 96% of patients satisfied the inclusion criteria “Refractory/Resistant” versus “Sensitive” –Not relevant to NSCLC –No precedence in NSCLC 96% of patients satisfied the inclusion criteria “Refractory/Resistant” versus “Sensitive” –Not relevant to NSCLC –No precedence in NSCLC
