Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of paclitaxel with or without carboplatin in treating patients who have recurrent, stage IIIB, or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Conditions

Lung Cancer

Keywords

recurrent non-small cell lung cancer; squamous cell lung cancer; large cell lung cancer; stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer; stage IV non-small cell lung cancer; adenocarcinoma of the lung; adenosquamous cell lung cancer

Study Arms (2)

Paclitaxel

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1 of each course. Treatment is repeated every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of tumor progression or unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life assessments are conducted before treatment and at 2, 6, 9, and 12 months. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months until disease progression or death.

Drug: paclitaxel

Paclitaxel + Carboplatin

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receives paclitaxel as in Arm I, followed by carboplatin IV over 1 hour. Treatment is repeated every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of tumor progression or unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life assessments are conducted before treatment and at 2, 6, 9, and 12 months. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months until disease progression or death.

Drug: carboplatin; Drug: paclitaxel

Interventions

carboplatin DRUG

Paclitaxel + Carboplatin

paclitaxel DRUG

Paclitaxel; Paclitaxel + Carboplatin
