Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn the effect of ZD6474 on the amount of time between placement of an indwelling pleural catheter and the catheter's removal in patients with malignant pleural effusion. This study will also look at the effect that ZD6474 has on tumor cells, biological characteristics of cells in the body, rate of fluid build-up around the lungs, tumor size, and thickness of blood vessels. The effect that this drug has on quality of life and shortness of breath will also be examined.

- timeFrame
- Time from initiation of treatment and catheter insertion up to a maximum of 10 weeks
- description
- Time to pleurodesis from initiation of treatment to catheter removal as measure of pleural effusion Improvement (amount of pleural fluid drainage) where objective was to examine whether ZD6474 would help participants to improve the condition of pleural effusion, and thus remove the catheter earlier. Cox model analysis applied to examine the effect of covariates on the time to catheter removal.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with pleural effusion requiring placement of an indwelling intrapleural denver catheter for recurrent symptomatic malignant pleural effusion 2. Pathologic documentation of NSCLC 3. Performance status 0 to 2 (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale) 4. International Normalized Ratio (INR) \</= 2.5 5. Signed informed consent prior to any study related procedures 6. Subject must be female or male age 18 years or over Exclusion Criteria: 1. Chemotherapy or other anticancer therapy in the 3 weeks prior to study. Palliative radiotherapy will be allowed to extra thoracic sites 2 weeks prior to study 2. No other prior malignancy is allowed except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for at least two years 3. Laboratory results sustained at:Neutrophils less than 1.5x10\^9/L or platelets less than 100x10\^9/L; Serum bilirubin \>1.5 x the upper limit of reference range (ULRR);Serum creatinine\>1.5xULRR or CrCl \</=30 mL/minute(calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula). Potassium,\<4.0 mmol despite supplementation;serum calcium (ionized or adjusted for albumin),or magnesium out of normal range despite supplementation;Alanine aminotransferase(ALT)or aspartate aminotransferase(AST) \> 2.5 x ULRR or alkaline phosphatase(ALP)\> 2.5 x ULRR,or \> 5 x ULRR if judged by the investigator to be related to liver metastases 4. Serious underlying medical condition that would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol treatment, specifically cardiac diseases, uncontrolled hypertension or renal diseases 5. Diagnosis of post-obstructive pneumonia or other serious infection in the 14 days prior to registration 6. Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule 7. Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or any concurrent condition which in the Investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol 8. Clinically significant cardiovascular event such as Myocardial infarction; New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of heart disease \>/=2 within 3 months before entry; or presence of cardiac disease that in the opinion of the Investigator increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmia 9. History of arrhythmia (multifocal premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), bigeminy, trigeminy, ventricular tachycardia, or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation) which is symptomatic or requires treatment (CTCAE grade 3) or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. Atrial fibrillation, controlled on medication is not excluded 10. Previous history of corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation with other medication that required discontinuation of that medication 11. Congenital long QT syndrome or 1st degree relative with unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age 12. QTc with Bazett's correction that is unmeasurable, or \>/=480 msec on screening ECG. If a patient has QTc \>/=480 msec on screening ECG, the screen ECG may be repeated twice (at least 24 hours apart). The average QTc from the three screening ECGs must be \<480 msec in order for the patient to be eligible for the study). Patients who are receiving a drug that has a risk of QTc prolongation are excluded if QTc is \>/= 460 msec 13. Any concomitant medication that may cause QTc prolongation or induce Torsades de Pointes 14. Hypertension not controlled by medical therapy (systolic blood pressure greater than 160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 100 mm Hg) 15. Women who are currently pregnant or breast feeding 16. Participation in a clinical trial of any investigational agents within 30 days prior to commencing study treatment 17. In 2nd line or later, the last dose of prior chemotherapy is discontinued less than 3 weeks before the start of study therapy 18. In 2nd line or later, the last radiation therapy discontinued less than 2 weeks before the start of study therapy except palliative radiotherapy 19. If it is in 2nd line or later, any unresolved toxicity greater than CTC grade 1 from previous anti-cancer therapy 20. Previous enrollment or randomization of treatment in the present study 21. Patients with pre-existing placement of intrapleural catheter 22. Presence of left bundle branch block (LBBB.) 23. Major surgery within 4 weeks, or incompletely healed surgical incision before starting study therapy 24. Patients may not have a history of a bleeding diathesis 25. Currently active diarrhea that may affect the ability of the patient to absorb the ZD6474 or tolerate diarrhea 26. Concomitant medications that are potent inducers (rifampicin, rifabutin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital and St. John's Wort) of CYP3A4 function
