Study to Determine if Contacting Patients With MTC More Frequently Results in Earlier Detection and Treatment of Signs and Symptoms of AEs and Thus a Decrease in the Percentage of Time Patients Experience AEs During First 12 Months on Vandetanib Treatment

A Randomized,Int.,Open-Label Phase III Study to Assess the Effect of a Patient Outreach Program on the Percentage of Time Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic MTC Experience Grade 2 or Higher AEs in the First 12 Months of Treatment With Vandetanib

Inclusion criteria

* Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures * Female or male aged 18 years and over * Previously confirmed histological diagnosis of unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic hereditary or sporadic MTC. Documentation must be provided in patient's medical chart * WHO or ECOG Performance status 0-2 * Negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) for female patients of childbearing potential

Exclusion criteria

* Unstable brain metastases or spinal cord compression that require treatment, unless treated at least 4 weeks before first dose and stable without steroid treatment for 10 days * Major surgery within 4 weeks before randomization * The last dose of prior chemotherapy received less than 3 weeks prior to randomization * Radiation therapy not completed prior to the first dose of vandetanib * Significant cardiac event, superior vena cava syndrome, NYHA classification of heart disease ≥2, within 12 weeks before randomization, or presence of cardiac disease that in the opinion of the Investigator increases risk of ventricular arrhythmia * Creatinine clearance \<30 ml/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula),Patients with moderate renal impairment, defined as creatinine clearance ≥30 to \<50 ml/min, must start vandetanib at a reduced dose of 200 mg

Recruitment details

From 25 February 2011 to 27 April 2012, 205 patients were randomized by 33 centers in global 20 countries.

Pre-assignment details

217 patients were screened; 205 patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either Vandetanib 300 mg or Vandetanib 300 mg + Outreach Program arm in randomized treatment period for 12 months. Post completion of randomized treatment period, eligible patients entered continuing treatment period.

Outcome results

Primary

Percentage of Time a Patient Experienced at Least 1 AE of CTCAE Grade >=2 in First 12 Months of Receiving Vandetanib in Patients Who Participated in Patient Outreach Program.

The primary endpoint is the percentage of time a patient experienced at least one AE of CTCAE grade 2 or higher in the first 12 months of treatment with vandetanib. If the patient discontinues treatment with vandetanib prior to the 12-month time point for any reason, this endpoint will be the time a patient experienced at least one AE of CTCAE grade 2 or higher as a percentage of the time the patient was receiving vandetanib.

Time frame: 12 months

Population: Number of Months Analyzed is the cumulative sum of number of months that all the participants were present in the study.
