Celecoxib or Observation After Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage II or Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Registration Number
NCT00274898
Lead Sponsor
GERCOR - Multidisciplinary Oncology Cooperative Group
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving celecoxib after radiation therapy and chemotherapy may kill any tumor cells that remain after radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Sometimes, after radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the tumor may not need additional treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying celecoxib to see how well it works compared to observation in treating patients who have undergone radiation therapy and chemotherapy for stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Compare the time to progression in patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer treated with celecoxib vs observation after treatment with chemoradiotherapy.

Secondary

* Compare the 2-year survival rate of patients treated with these regimens.

* Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.

* Compare weight changes and objective response in patients treated with these regimens.

* Compare tolerability of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to participating center, ECOG performance status (0-1 vs 2), and total dose of radiotherapy (65 Gy vs 60 Gy).

All patients undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 7.5 weeks. Patients also receive docetaxel IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Three weeks after the completion of radiotherapy, patients receive docetaxel alone IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 22. Three weeks later, patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

* Arm I: Patients are observed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 1 year.

* Arm II: Patients receive oral celecoxib twice daily for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients will be accrued for this study.
