Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Erlotinib may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation together with radiation therapy and erlotinib may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation together with radiation therapy and erlotinib works in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: carboplatin
  • Drug: erlotinib hydrochloride
  • Drug: paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation
  • Radiation: radiation therapy
Phase 2

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the activity of induction chemotherapy comprising carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation followed by concurrent thoracic radiotherapy and erlotinib hydrochloride in patients with poor-risk, unresectable stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

Secondary

  • To determine the response rate and progression-free survival of these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive induction chemotherapy comprising paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses. Patient with rapid disease progression outside of the chest after induction therapy are removed from study. Patients with intrathoracic disease progression within the potential radiation field may continue protocol therapy at the discretion of the Study Chair. Patients with no disease progression outside the planned radiation field (either regional or distant) proceed to concurrent erlotinib hydrochloride and radiotherapy.

Beginning on day 43 (week 7), patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily. Patients also undergo concurrent radiotherapy 5 days a week for up to 7 weeks (33 fractions) in the absence of rapid disease progression outside of the chest or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for up to 2 years

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: paclitaxel + carboplatin + radiation + erlotinib

Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses. Patient with rapid disease progression outside of the chest after induction therapy are removed from study. Patients with intrathoracic disease progression within the potential radiation field may continue protocol therapy at the discretion of the Study Chair. Patients with no disease progression outside the planned radiation field (either regional or distant) proceed to concurrent erlotinib hydrochloride and radiotherapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall Survival at 12 Months [At 12 months]

    Percentage of participants who were alive at 12 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Response Rate [Duration of study (up to 2 years)]

    Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria: Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD): 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD): small changes that do not meet above criteria. Response rate is reported as the percentage of participants who achieved each response.

  2. Progression-free Survival [Duration of study (up to 2 years)]

    Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from registration to disease progression or death of any cause, which ever comes first. The median PFS with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
