Study Overview

Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

  • To compare the tumour response rate of combination chemotherapy irinotecan/cisplatin (IC) versus docetaxel/cisplatin (DC) in advanced NSCLC patients who responded to 3 courses of docetaxel/cisplatin.

Secondary Objectives :

  • To compare the time to progression after chemotherapy treatment between the IC and DC arms of treatment.
  • To compare the toxicity profile of the IC and DC arms of treatment.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •Histologically or cytologically proven non-small cell lung carcinoma at first diagnosis.
  • •Stage IIIB or IV disease.
  • •Tumour considered unresectable.
  • •Performance status Karnofsky index > 60% or WHO performance status < or =
  • •Previous therapy
  • •Chemotherapy: None.
  • •Previous radiation therapy: prior irradiation for NSCLC is permitted, however, the measurable or evaluable non-measurable disease must be completely outside the radiation portal.
  • •Laboratory requirements:
  • •Hematology:
  • •Neutrophils ≥ 2.0 10^9/l,
  • •Platelets ≥ 100 10^9/l,
  • •Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dl.
  • •Hepatic function:Total bilirubin < 1 Upper Normal Limit (UNL), AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) < 2.5 UNL,Alkaline phosphatase < 5 UNL ; except in presence of only bone metastasis and in absence of any liver disorders. Patients with AST and/or ALT > 1.5 x UNL associated with alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 x UNL are not eligible for the study.
  • •Renal function: Creatinine < 140 µmol/l (1.6 mg/dl) ; if limit values, the calculated creatinine clearance should be > 60 ml/min.

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Pregnant, or lactating patients; patients of childbearing potential must implement adequate contraceptive measures during study participation.
  • •Known clinical brain or leptomeningeal involvement.
  • •Pre-existing motor or sensory neurotoxicity of a severity > grade 1 by National Cancer Institute criteria.
  • •Other serious illness or medical condition:
  • •Congestive heart failure or unstable angina pectoris even if it is medically controlled. Previous history of myocardial infarction within 1 year from study entry, uncontrolled hypertension or high risk uncontrolled arrhythmias.
  • •History of significant neurologic or psychiatric disorders including psychotic disorders, dementia or seizures that would prohibit the understanding and giving of informed consent.
  • •Active uncontrolled infection.
  • •Peptic ulcer, unstable diabetes mellitus or other contraindication for the use of corticosteroids.
  • •Past or current history of neoplasm other than non-small cell lung cancer, except for curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ carcinoma of the cervix.
  • •Concurrent treatment with prednisone (or equivalent) except as use for the prophylactic medication regimen, treatment of acute hypersensitivity reactions, treatment of nausea / vomiting or unless chronic treatment (initiated > 6 months prior to study entry) at low dose (< 20 mg methylprednisolone or equivalent).
  • •Definite contraindications for the use of corticosteroids.
  • •Concurrent treatment with other experimental drugs. Participation in another clinical trial with any investigational drug within 30 days prior to study entry.
  • •Concurrent treatment with any other anti-cancer therapy.
  • •The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
