Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether erlotinib is more effective than a placebo in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying erlotinib to see how well it works compared to a placebo in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Compare survival of patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer that is not suitable for first-line chemotherapy treated with erlotinib vs placebo.

Secondary

- Compare progression-free survival and response rate.

- Compare toxicity.

- Compare the quality of life.

- Compare cost-effectiveness.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

- Arm I: Patients receive oral erlotinib once daily for up to 24 months.

- Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo once daily for up to 24 months. Quality of life is assessed periodically.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 664 patients will be accrued for this study. ;
