NCT00906282

Brief Summary

The purpose of this multi-center Phase II trial is to examine the impact of pemetrexed/carboplatin in the preoperative treatment of patients with select stage IB, II,and III non-squamous NSCLC. Because patients with non-squamous type NSCLC have been shown to have better survival rates than patients with squamous tumors when given pemetrexed with a platinum agent, only patients with non-squamous NSCLC (adenocarcinoma, large cell, and undifferentiated), not including squamous histology, will be allowed to participate in this study. If this novel regimen proves to be safe and active in this setting, it will provide rationale for further investigation in a larger, prospective, randomized trial.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 3-Year Overall Survival Rate

    The percentage of patients who were alive at 3 years from time of first study treatment until date of death from any cause. Overall survival is shown for the Intent-to-Treat population.

    36 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Objective Tumor Response

    At 6 and 12 weeks

  • Pathologic Response Rate

    weeks 15 -18

  • Rate of Residual Disease as an Assessment of Pathological Partial Response (pPR)

    At 15-18 weeks

  • Complete Resection Rate

    At weeks 15-18

Study Arms (1)

Pemetrexed/Carboplatin

EXPERIMENTAL

4 cycles of preoperative treatment (1 Cycle = 21 days): Pemetrexed: 500 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) for 10 minutes on Day 1 each cycle; Carboplatin: AUC 6.0 by IV on Day 1 each cycle.

Drug: PemetrexedDrug: Carboplatin

Interventions

500 mg/m2 IV over 10 minutes on Day 1 of every 3-week treatment cycle for a total of 4 cycles (12 weeks).

Also known as: Alimta
Pemetrexed/Carboplatin

AUC 6.0 IV on Day 1 of every 3-week treatment cycle for a total of 4 cycles (12 weeks).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically-confirmed NSCLC (adenocarcinoma, large cell, and undifferentiated). Patients with squamous histology are not eligible.
  • Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • Patients with the following stages of NSCLC:
  • T2 N0 tumors: Limited to tumors \>=4 cm.
  • T1-2 N1 tumors.
  • T3 N0-1 tumors (excluding superior sulcus tumors): Including tumors involving the chest wall, proximal airway, or mediastinal pleura where preoperative radiotherapy is not planned.
  • T1-2 N2 tumors: For patients with N2 disease involving one zone (Upper zone (R), AP zone (L), subcarinal zone, or lower zone) and nodes \<=2cm in diameter.
  • T4 N0-1 tumors (excluding superior sulcus tumors): T4 lesions other than malignant effusions where radiotherapy is not planned.
  • Patients with clinical N2 involvement must have histologic confirmation by mediastinoscopy (or alternate biopsy procedure).
  • Tumors should be considered potentially resectable.
  • No evidence of extrathoracic metastatic disease.
  • Patients must have measurable disease by RECIST criteria.
  • Patients must be candidates (medically) for chemotherapy followed by surgical resection.
  • Adequate recovery from recent surgery. At least 1 week must have elapsed from the time of a minor surgery; at least 3 weeks must have elapsed from the time of a major surgery.
  • Laboratory values as follows:
  • +12 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with the following stages are excluded:
  • T1 N0;
  • T2 N0, with primary tumor \<4 cm;
  • T1-2 N2, with multiple zones of N2 involvement;
  • T3-4 N2;
  • Any N3;
  • Any TxNxM1 disease; or
  • Any stage where surgery and/or chemoradiotherapy is the preferred initial approach in management, as deemed by the treating physician.
  • Squamous or predominant squamous mixed histologies.
  • Mixed small-cell and non-small cell histologies.
  • Pulmonary carcinoid tumors.
  • Presence of third space fluid which cannot be controlled by drainage.
  • Use of erythropoietin as a hematopoietic growth factor is not allowed.
  • Cardiac disease, including: congestive heart failure (CHF) \> Class II per New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification; unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest) or new-onset angina (i.e., began within the last 3 months), or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months; symptomatic CHF, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy.
  • Women who are pregnant (positive pregnancy test) or lactating.
  • +6 more criteria
