Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients must be 18 years of age or greater.
  • Histologically or cytologically proven non-small cell lung cancer that is either metastatic or recurrent and failed at least one prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen.
  • Patients who have recurred after previous surgery and/or radiation may participate in this trial.
  • Patients may have had prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy.
  • Patients with known brain metastases are eligible for this clinical trial if their disease has been treated and they are clinically stable and documented by a stable or improved pretreatment CT or MRI scan of the brain to evaluate for CNS disease within 28 days prior to registration.
  • Measurable OR non-measurable disease documented by CT, MRI, X-ray or nuclear exam (FDG-PET). Measurable or non-measurable disease must be present outside the area of surgical resection. Pleural effusions, ascites and laboratory parameters are not acceptable as the only evidence of disease.
  • Progression after at least one prior platinum-based chemotherapy.
  • Greater than 3 weeks since surgery and must have recovered from all associated toxicities at time of registration.
  • ANC ≥ 1,500/µl and platelet count ≥ 100,000/µl obtained within 28 days prior to registration.
  • Adequate hepatic function documented by a serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times institutional upper limit of normal and liver enzymes (SGOT or SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x the institutional upper limit of normal obtained within 28 days prior to registration.
  • Patients requiring lung radiation must have an FEV1 of > 1000 liters obtained within 28 days prior to registration and must have pulmonary function tests with DLCO.
  • Zubrod Performance Status of 0,1 or 2.

  • Peripheral neuropathy ≥ Grade 1.
  • Prior malignancy except for the following: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, adequately treated Stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission or other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for 5 years.
