Primary Endpoint
To establish the MTD of Tarceva in currently smoking patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 1 study of escalating doses of Tarceva in patients with advanced NSCLC who currently smoke.

Part I will establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Tarceva in current smokers.

In Part II, patients will be randomized 1:1 to two treatment groups: Arm A (Tarceva MTD established in Part I) and Arm B (150 mg Tarceva daily). Patients in both arms will be treated for two weeks and then have pharmacokinetic samples collected on day 14. Part II is open as of Nov-2006.

  • Concomitant CYP3A4 or CYP1A2 inducers/inhibitors (or during 14 days prior to study) with the exception of tobacco;
  • Other active malignancies, unless disease-free and without cancer-specific therapy for at least the last 5 years. Basal or squamous cell skin cancers are not excluded;
  • Significant history of cardiac disease unless the disease is well-controlled;
  • Active or uncontrolled infections or serious illnesses or medical conditions that could interfere with the patient's ongoing participation in the study;
  • History of any psychiatric condition that might impair the patient's ability to understand or comply with the requirements; of the study or to provide informed consent.
  • Gastrointestinal abnormalities, including inability to take oral medication, requirement for IV alimentation, active peptic ulcer or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption;
