The primary purpose of the study is to investigate if daily treatment with celecoxib, an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2, can prolong survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who receive anticancer chemotherapy as their primary treatment. Secondary endpoints of the study are: health-related quality of life, toxicity, cardiovascular events, progression-free survival, and biological markers (VEGF, proteomics).

1: Active Comparator
Four cycles of combination chemotherapy, usually with carboplatin + gemcitabine or carboplatin + vinorelbine, plus celecoxib 400 mg b.i.d. Treatment with celecoxib is continued after completion of chemotherapy. Maximum treatment duration is one year.
|
Drug: Celecoxib
400 mg capsule twice daily, starting on the first day of cancer chemotherapy.
|
2: Placebo Comparator
Chemotherapy as in arm 1 plus placebo capsules, b.i.d.
|
Drug: Celecoxib
400 mg capsule twice daily, starting on the first day of cancer chemotherapy.

The study (CYCLUS trial, CY-cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, Chemotherapy, LUng cancer, Survival) is a prospective randomized double-blind multicenter trial. Patients are randomized to receive celecoxib at a dose of 400 mg b.i.d. or placebo. Primary endpoint of the trial is survival. Secondary endpoints are: quality of life, progression-free survival, toxicity, cardiovascular events, and biological parameters (plasma VEGF and proteomics).
The rationale behind the study consists of preclinical observations of antitumor effect of celecoxib in NSCLC. Inhibition of angiogenesis and proliferation as well as increased apoptosis has been demonstrated. In addition, pilot studies have shown that the combination of chemotherapy and celecoxib is feasible. No unexpected toxicity has been recorded in such trials. Furthermore, a randomized study of indomethacin, prednisolone or placebo in other types of advanced cancer, mainly gastrointestinal, showed a survival advantage for patients receiving antiinflammatory treatment.
Chemotherapy is given according to the current standard of the participating institution. In practice, patients will usually receive either carboplatin + gemcitabine or carboplatin + vinorelbine. Treatment duration with chemotherapy is 4 cycles (cycle length 3 weeks) in the absence of tumour progression or prohibitive toxicity.
Treatment with the study drug starts on the first day of cancer chemotherapy. Maximum treatment duration is one year. Treatment will be stopped earlier in case of objective tumor progression, serious toxicity that is considered to be related to the study drug or if the patient wants to stop treatment.
The size of the study is based on the hypothesis that celecoxib could prolong median survival by 8 weeks as compared to 7.5 months in the placebo group. With standard statistical requirements (type I error 5%, type II error 20%), 760 patients will be required.
The study was opened for randomization on May 31, 2006. The time for randomization of patients is expected to be 3 years.
