Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving docetaxel and cetuximab together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of docetaxel when given together with cetuximab and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Treatment-related Esophagitis or Pneumonitis

    The primary endpoint will be the rate of Grade 3 or greater esophagitis and/or pneumonitis within 4 months after discontinuation of radiation therapy.

    Weekly for the first 8 weeks, then every 4 weeks thereafter for up to 4 months after complettion of radiotherapy.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Toxicity

    Weekly for the first 8 weeks, then every 4 weeks while subject on protocol treatment.

  • Overall Survival

    weekly while patient is on protocol treatment, then monthly thereafter.

  • Progression-free Survival.

    At week 10, week 22, and then every 3 months until progression for up to 3 years after enrollment.

  • Response Rate

    Week 10 and week 22

Interventions

cetuximabBIOLOGICAL

Cohorts 1 and 2: 400 mg/m2 (initial dose) 2 hour IV infusion on Day 1, Cycle 1 only. 250 mg/m2, 1 hour IV infusion on Days 8 , 15 and 22 during Cycle 1. 250 mg/m2 (subsequent doses), 1 hour IV infusion on Days 1, 8 , 15 and 22 during subsequent cycles.

Cetuximab + Radiotherapy (no Docetaxel)Cetuximab + Radiotherapy + Docetaxel

Cohort 2 ONLY: 20 mg/m2 IV over 15 - 30 minutes on Days 8, 15 and 22 of Cycle 1. Concurrent with RT and cetuximab starting at Week 2. 20 mg/m2 IV over 15 - 30 minutes on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of Cycle 2.

Cetuximab + Radiotherapy + Docetaxel

Radiation therapy should begin on Day 8 of Cycle 1 and continue through the end of Cycle 2. Refer to Section 12.1 for Radiation Therapy Review. RT prescription should be PTV (GTV + 2-cm margins on CT scan) to 6,480 cGy in 36 fractions given 5 days a week, 180 cGy per day. The dose is prescribed to the isocenter. The entire treatment should be planned prior to starting treatment to ensure that the plan meets protocol specifications.
