• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ZD0473 in treating patients who have progressive or relapsed non-small cell lung cancer.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
