Preoperative Therapy in Patients With Stages IB, II, IIIA, and Selected IIIB Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2CompletedNCT00193427

SCRI Development Innovations, LLC75 enrolled

Overview

This trial is designed to study the role of docetaxel/gemcitabine, an active and relatively non-toxic combination in advanced NSCLC. This study will help to better define optimal preoperative regimens for patients with resectable NSCLC. Since both of these drugs are potent radio-sensitizers, the concurrent use with radiation therapy at these weekly doses may produce not only radio-sensitization, but also considerable antitumor efficacy.

Upon determination of eligibility, patients will receive: Pre-operative * Docetaxel * Gemcitabine Post-operative * Docetaxel * Carboplatin * Radiation Therapy Patients with stage IB and II NSCLC who achieved clear margins will not receive any further therapy. Patients with incomplete resection, resection margins of a T3 tumor that are positive or close, stage IIIA AND IIIB NSCLC or disease judged unresectable after preoperative chemotherapy will receive postoperative treatment

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pathologic Complete Response Rate

A pathological complete response (pCR) was defined as having no residual cancer at the primary site or in regional lymph nodes on pathologic review.

Time frame: 18 months

Secondary Outcomes

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

Progression-free survival was calculated as the elapsed time between the date of study registration and the date of recurrence or death from any cause.

Time frame: 19 months

Overall Response Rate (ORR)

Overall response rate is the percentage of patients with complete response or partial response per RECIST v.1 Criteria. Complete response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all nontarget lesions for at least 4 weeks. Partial Response (PR) = At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters.

Time frame: 18 months

Overall Survival (OS)

Overall survival was calculated as the elapsed time bewteen date of study registration and the date of death.

Time frame: 18 months
