Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to provide ZD1839 for those patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic non-operable non-small cell lung cancer (stage III or IV) or recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer who receive the therapy on an expanded access basis due to their inability to meet eligibility criteria for on-going recruiting trials, inability to participate in other clinical trials (e.g., poor performance status, lack of geographic proximity), or because other medical interventions are not considered appropriate or acceptable.
Interventions
250mg administered daily for patients with NSCLC and500mg daily for patients with H&NC. Treatment dispensed to patients on Day 1 and every 12 weeks thereafter until the patient withdraws. Patients with NSCLC will take one tablet at each dose administration; patients with squamous cell H&NC will take two tablets at each dose administration.
