NCT00003762

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 II trial to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of docetaxel plus gemcitabine in treating patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

    Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • quality of life

    Up to 5 years

Study Arms (3)

Arm I: docetaxel + gemcitabine

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 followed by gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients continue treatment every 28 days for a maximum of 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients with either stable disease or complete/partial response who discontinue treatment after 4-6 courses may be eligible for NCCTG-97-24-51. Quality of life is assessed before treatment and before each course of therapy. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, then every 3 months for 5 years.

Drug: docetaxelDrug: gemcitabine hydrochloride

Arm II: docetaxel + gemcitabine

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour and gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15. Patients continue treatment every 28 days for a maximum of 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients with either stable disease or complete/partial response who discontinue treatment after 4-6 courses may be eligible for NCCTG-97-24-51. Quality of life is assessed before treatment and before each course of therapy. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, then every 3 months for 5 years.

Drug: docetaxelDrug: gemcitabine hydrochloride

Arm III: docetaxel + gemcitabine
