Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Interventions
Behavioral: smoking cessation intervention
Procedure: psychosocial assessment and care
Registration Number
NCT00032084
Lead Sponsor
SWOG Cancer Research Network
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: A program that includes bupropion may be more effective in helping early-stage lung cancer patients to quit smoking. It is not yet known if a program to quit smoking is more effective with or without bupropion.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of a program to quit smoking with or without bupropion in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Compare the effect of a smoking cessation intervention comprising behavior intervention and nicotine replacement with or without bupropion on 12-month quit rates in patients with completely resected stage I or II non-small cell lung cancer who are current smokers.

* Compare the predictors of smoking cessation success in patients treated with these regimens.

* Determine the relationship between smoking cessation and standard outcome measures (e.g., second malignancies, survival, and symptom status) in patients treated with these regimens.

* Compare the effect of these treatment regimens on emotional functioning in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to gender, prior neoadjuvant or concurrent adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy (yes vs no), and time since prior surgery (less than 6 months vs 6 to 12 months vs more than 12 months). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

All patients receive behavioral intervention comprising smoking cessation advice and education on day 1. Patients quit smoking on day 8. Patients then receive a nicotine transdermal patch once daily on days 8-77.

* Arm I: Patients receive oral bupropion once daily on days 1-3 and twice daily on days 4-77.

* Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo as in arm I. Patients are followed at 3, 6, and 12 months and then annually for 10 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 468 patients (234 \[117 men and 117 women\] per arm) will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
