Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well gefitinib works in treating patients with previously untreated stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the objective tumor response rate in patients with previously untreated stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer with somatic activating mutations in the TK region of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene treated with gefitinib.

Secondary

  • Determine response duration, progression-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the safety of this drug in these patients.
  • Compare the ability of various somatic activating mutations in the TK region of the EGFR gene to predict response in patients treated with this drug.
  • Compare the ability of various somatic activating mutations in the TK region of the EGFR gene to predict toxicity of this drug in these patients.
  • Define a molecular profile in patients who initially respond to treatment with this drug but subsequently progress on therapy.
  • Determine the significance of germline polymorphisms of the EGFR gene, somatic amplification of the EGFR gene, and other molecular factors for their association with clinical outcome parameters in these patients.
