Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Gemcitabine
After induction chemotherapy, radiation therapy and 10 weeks with no disease progression, randomized consolidation treatment begins. In both treatment arms, gemcitabine 1000 milligrams per meter squared (mg/m2), is administered intravenously (IV), on days 1 and 8 of every 21-day cycle for 3 cycles.
Other Names:
  • Gemzar
  • LY188011
As part of induction chemotherapy, cisplatin is given 50 mg/m2, IV, day 1, 8, 29 and 36 (spans 2 cycles)
Other Names:

  • Platinol
  • Platinol-AQ

Experimental: Gemcitabine plus Docetaxel
After induction chemotherapy, radiation therapy and 10 weeks with no disease progression, randomized consolidation treatment begins. In both treatment arms, gemcitabine 1000 milligrams per meter squared (mg/m2), is administered intravenously (IV), on days 1 and 8 of every 21-day cycle for 3 cycles.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
2-Year Survival
Time Frame: 2 years
Percentage of participants alive at 2 years.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Patients With Overall Tumor Response
Time Frame: randomization and every 3 months up to 2 years of post-study followup
Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria: Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) =30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD) =20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD)=small changes that do not meet above criteria. The total number of CRs plus PRs equals overall response rate (ORR).
randomization and every 3 months up to 2 years of post-study followup
Progression-Free Survival
Time Frame: baseline to measured progressive disease up to 2057 days
Defined as the time from randomization into consolidation treatment to the first date of documented disease progression or death. Progression-free survival time was censored at the date of the last follow-up visit at which disease was assessed for patients who were still alive and who had not progressed.
baseline to measured progressive disease up to 2057 days
Overall Survival
Time Frame: baseline to date of death from any cause up to 2057 days
Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death from any cause. For patients who are alive, overall survival is censored at the last contact.
baseline to date of death from any cause up to 2057 days
Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) Assessment Post-randomization
Time Frame: baseline to 3 months after last dose of study treatment (three 21-day cycles)
LCSS measures physical & functional dimensions. The patient scale contains 9 items, 3 summation & 6 symptom items. Each item is marked on a visual analog scale (0=low; 100=high). The mean of the 6 symptoms is used to calculate the average symptom burden index (ASBI). Improved=mean ASBI assessments from any 2 consecutive improved post-randomization assessments was at least 0.5 standard deviation (SD) below pre-randomization ASBI; worse=mean ASBI from any 2 consecutive post-randomization assessments was at least 0.5 SD above pre-randomization ASBI; stable=criteria for improved/worse not met.
baseline to 3 months after last dose of study treatment (three 21-day cycles)
