Trials 14 and 17 outcomes are not germane to results demonstrated in 3rd-line NSCLC

– Different treatment setting

– Combination with chemotherapy rather than monotherapy

Lack of survival benefit in 1st-line does not negate responses and symptom improvement in 3rd-line

“With Genentech’s anti-VEGF announcement recently, SWOG’s evidence of interference by tamoxifen in the efficacy of breast cancer adjuvant therapy, and the IRESSA® results, I think we’re seeing a pattern emerge that is really (paradoxically) quite hopeful.

We’ve said that these new therapies are dramatically unlike chemotherapy but we’ve tried to develop them as if they were.

Now we know they’re not, and IRESSA has to be used following different paradigms.”

The FDA believes the relevance of the symptom improvement data discussed above cannot be adequately evaluated without a randomized, blinded study with an adequate control arm (the two doses of ZD1839 show no difference in efficacy and are thus not adequate). Do you agree?

Given the lack of clinical benefit in two large studies of ZD1839 in combination with standard first-line NSCLC chemotherapy, is the Study 0039 response rate of 10% in 139 patients with resistant or refractory NSCLC reasonably likely to predict ZD1839 clinical benefit in NSCLC?
