Phase II Randomized Study of Erlotinib With or Without Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Patients With Chemotherapy-Naïve Select Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Final eligibility for a clinical trial is determined by the health professionals conducting the trial.
Patients will be randomly assigned (have an equal chance of being placed) to one of two treatment groups.
Patients in group one will receive erlotinib by mouth once a day. Treatment may continue for as long as benefit is shown.
Patients in group two will receive erlotinib by mouth once a day for as long as benefit is shown. They will also receive a 1- to 3-hour infusion of paclitaxel and an infusion of carboplatin once in week 1. Treatment with paclitaxel and carboplatin may repeat every 3 weeks for up to six courses.
Patients will be evaluated at least every 3 months for 1 year and every 6 months for up to 2 years.
If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, contact your doctor for a referral or call a trial contact person listed below. You may see the same contact person listed at more than one site, however, if you call the number listed you can ask to speak to the study coordinator or person involved with the specific trial you are interested in. If you have questions about cancer or clinical trials, call the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237). General information about clinical trials, including risks, benefits, and costs, can be found on
NCI's Web site.
