Preoperative Therapy in Patients With Stages IB, II, IIIA, and Selected IIIB Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

February 21, 2022 updated by: SCRI Development Innovations, LLC

Phase II Trial of Preoperative (Neo-adjuvant) Therapy in Patients With Stages IB, II, IIIA, and Selected IIIB Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This trial is designed to study the role of docetaxel/gemcitabine, an active and relatively non-toxic combination in advanced NSCLC. This study will help to better define optimal preoperative regimens for patients with resectable NSCLC. Since both of these drugs are potent radio-sensitizers, the concurrent use with radiation therapy at these weekly doses may produce not only radio-sensitization, but also considerable antitumor efficacy.

Detailed Description

Upon determination of eligibility, patients will receive:

Pre-operative

  • Docetaxel
  • Gemcitabine Post-operative
  • Docetaxel
  • Carboplatin
  • Radiation Therapy

Patients with stage IB and II NSCLC who achieved clear margins will not receive any further therapy. Patients with incomplete resection, resection margins of a T3 tumor that are positive or close, stage IIIA AND IIIB NSCLC or disease judged unresectable after preoperative chemotherapy will receive postoperative treatment

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intervention
Patients with potentially resectable clinical stage IB, II, and selected III NSCLC received gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 days 1, 8 and docetaxel 30 mg/m2 days 1, 8 every 21 days for 3 cycles. Patients were restaged after treatment and resected 3-6 weeks later. If patients were inoperable, had incomplete resections or N2 disease, docetaxel 20 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC = 1.5 weekly x 7 and radiation to 63 Gy was administered
Drug: Docetaxel
30mg/m2 administered on days 1 and 8, 21-cycle days, 3 cycles
Other Names:
  • Taxotere
Drug: Gemcitabine
1000 mg/m2 administered by 30-minute IV infusion on day 1 and 8, 21-cycle days, 3 cycles
Other Names:
  • Gemzar
Drug: Carboplatin
AUC = 1.5 weekly x 7
Other Names:
  • Paraplatin
Radiation: Radiation
To 63 Gy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pathologic Complete Response Rate
Time Frame: 18 months
A pathological complete response (pCR) was defined as having no residual cancer at the primary site or in regional lymph nodes on pathologic review.
18 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 19 months
Progression-free survival was calculated as the elapsed time between the date of study registration and the date of recurrence or death from any cause.
19 months
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: 18 months
Overall response rate is the percentage of patients with complete response or partial response per RECIST v.1 Criteria. Complete response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all nontarget lesions for at least 4 weeks. Partial Response (PR) = At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters.
18 months
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: 18 months
Overall survival was calculated as the elapsed time bewteen date of study registration and the date of death.
18 months
