NCT00300586

Brief Summary

The objective of this trial is to improve the duration of control disease for PS 0-1 patients who are not progressing on first-line cisplatin-gemcitabine chemotherapy. Standard therapy is for these patients to stop first-line chemotherapy after 4 to 6 cycles and to begin a second-line chemotherapy when progression of disease is occurring. Two approaches will be experimented in this trial in attempt to prolong progression free survival :

  • Maintenance chemotherapy with single-agent gemcitabine continued till disease progression or toxicity.
  • Sequential treatment with erlotinib immediately given after the end of first-line chemotherapy.

  • Prior radiotherapy authorized except for irradiation concerning measurable disease.
  • Age \>18 and \< 70 years.
  • PS \< 2.
  • Normal hepatic function : serum bilirubin \< 1.5 ULN, SGOT (ASAT) and SGPT (ALAT) \< 2,5 ULN ; in presence of liver metastases, SGOT and SGPT must be \< 5 x ULN.
  • Creatinine clearance \> 60 mL/min.
  • Granulocyte count \> 1,5 giga/L, platelet count \> 100 giga/L.

You may not qualify if:

  • Small cell lung cancer, bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, neuro-endocrine carcinoma.
  • PS \> 1.
  • Prior chemotherapy other than cisplatin-gemcitabine.
  • Prior therapy with EGFR inhibitor (e.g. monoclonal antibody).
  • No concomitant therapy with phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampicine or phenobarbital.
  • Concomitant radiotherapy except for localized bone irradiation.
