NCT01257139

Brief Summary

This is a phase III randomized multicenter study involving subjects over 70 years of age with non small-cell lung cancer of IV and a PS of 0, 1 or 2, who have not previously received chemotherapy. The aim is to validate the use of a simplified geriatric scale (SGS) as a screening tool. If the SGS results are normal, the patient will be treated with dual-agent therapy based on platinum (carboplatin + pemetrexed if the histology is non epidermoid, carboplatin + gemcitabin if the histology is epidermoid), with no further geriatric assessment. When the SGS reveals abnormalities, a comprehensive geriatric evaluation (CGE) will be used to define two subpopulations on Balducci's fragility scale, who will receive either monotherapy (docetaxel) or best supportive care. The strategy based on the SGS will be compared with a treatment algorithm based on standard criteria (PS and age), with no specific geriatric assessment. The main endpoint is the time to treatment failure. The SGS is composed of the Charlson co-morbidity scale, functional assessment based on PS, Katz' ADL scale, Lawton's simplified IADL scale, simplified cognitive assessment with the mini-MMSE according to Schultz-Larsen, a geriatric depression scale (GDS 5), and screening for a geriatric syndrome defined by the existence of dementia, repeated falls, and urinary and fecal incontinence. The SGS will be validated by comparison with the CGE, that will be administered systematically at enrollment. All the SGS items are included in the CGE. Secondary endpoints will be quality of life (measured with the LCSS and EuroQoL questionnaires), overall survival, the objective response rate, and toxicity. The investigators will also study the predictive power of nutritional indices such as the PINI and the Buzby score with respect to survival, the treatment response, and tolerability.

Keywords

To evaluate a geriatric scale designed to help with treatmentallocation to dual-agent therapy based on platinum or tosingle-agent chemotherapy in elderly subjects with advancedstageNSCLC, based on the time to failure in the two arms

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time to failure Defined from the date of inclusion to the date of documented progression Or death of any cause Or trial exit for toxicity considered unacceptable by the patient or by the investigator Or withdrawal of consent

    date of documented progression up to 6 months

Study Arms (2)

dual-agent therapy or docetaxel alone

NO INTERVENTION

dual-agent therapy based on Carboplatin (Carboplatin-Pemetrexed for non epidermoid forms, Carboplatin-Gemcitabin for epidermoid forms) or Docetaxel alone, according to PS or age

dual-agent therapy or docetaxel or best supportive care

EXPERIMENTAL

dual-agent therapy based on Carboplatin (Carboplatin-Pemetrexed for non epidermoid forms, Carboplatin-Gemcitabin for epidermoid forms) or Docetaxel alone, or best supportive care, allocated on the basis of a simplified geriatric scale, plus a more thorough geriatric evaluation if necessary

Procedure: Dual-agent therapy or docetaxel alone or best supportive care

Interventions

ARM B: (245 patients) Treatment if the SGS screening test is negative: * non epidermoid tumor: * Carboplatin ® AUC 5 on D1 and Alimta ®(pemetrexed) 500 mg/m² D1, D1=D21 with vitamin B9 and B12 supplementation. Maximum of four 3-week cycles. * epidermoid tumor: * Carboplatin AUC 5 on D1 and Gemcitabin 1000 mg/m² on D1 and D8, D1=D21. Treatment if SGS screening test is positive (cf.table 1): Vulnerable subjects will receive: Taxotere ® (Docetaxel) 38 mg/m² on D1 and D8, D1=D21. Maximum of four 3-week cycles Fragile subjects are patients considered to be at a high risk of complications during chemotherapy; they will therefore receive best supportive care (BSC) with appropriate geriatric management.
