Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining celecoxib with radiation therapy in treating patients who have locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Celecoxib Combined With Radiation Therapy (RT)

    Patients were followed for at least 90 days from start of RT and carefully evaluated with respect to treatment morbidity. A dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as grade 3 or 4 nonhematologic (excluding nausea, vomiting, and alopecia) and grade 4 hematologic toxicities. Six patients were to be accrued at each dose level. If no more than three of the six patients experienced a DLT then that dose level was considered acceptable and dose escalation occurred by accruing six more patients at the next dose level. Otherwise, the preceding dose level, if any, would be declared the MTD. The MTD would be used for the Phase II arm. At a given dose, the probability of halting dose escalation when the true toxicity is 50% or higher is at least 66% (power). In addition, if the true DLT rate is instead 20%, there will still be a 10% probability of halting dose escalation at a given dose level (type I error). Rating scale: 0 = not the MTD, 1 = MTD

    Start of treatment to 90 days

  • Overall Survival

    Because only 21 patients (18 analyzable) out of 128 planned were accrued on this study, all analyzable patients were combined to report overall survival. The original study design planned for a comparison to a historical control, but due to the small number of patients, survival time is only reported, not tested.

    From randomization to date of death or last follow-up. Analysis occurs after all patients have been potentially followed for 12 months.

Study Arms (3)

Phase I: Celecoxib 200mg BID + RT

EXPERIMENTAL

COX-2 Inhibitor: Celecoxib 200 mg b.i.d, 7 days/week begins 5 days prior to start of radiation therapy (RT). Once RT begins, Celecoxib a.m. dose 1-2 hours prior to RT. Administer for 2 years or until disease progression. Concurrent Radiation Therapy: 2 Gy daily, 30-33 fractions, 5 days/week for 6-7 weeks, for a total dose of 60-66 Gy; or 3 Gy daily, 15 fractions, 5 days/week for 3-4 weeks for a total dose of 45 Gy.
