Feasibility of Cetuximab Associated With Concomitant Radio-Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

Feasibility of Cetuximab (ERBITUX®) Associated With Concomitant Radio-chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer: a Phase II, Randomised Study

Phase II, randomised, controlled, non comparative study with 2 parallel groups:

• Arm A: patients will receive induction chemotherapy (cisplatin and docetaxel) followed by a concomitant radio-chemotherapy including 2 cycles of cisplatin and vinorelbine associated with a weekly cetuximab infusion during the radiotherapy.
• Arm B: patients will receive induction chemotherapy (cisplatin and docetaxel) followed by a concomitant radio-chemothérapy including 2 cycles of cisplatin and etoposide associated with a weekly cetuximab infusion during the radiotherapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Cisplatin, vinorelbine; patients will receive induction chemotherapy (cisplatin, docetaxel) followed by a concomitant radio-chemothérapy including 2 cycles of cisplatin and vinorelbine associated with a weekly cetuximab infusion during the radiotherapy.	Drug: cisplatin, vinorlebine, cetuximab; patient will receive 2 cycles of cisplatine 80 mg/m² at day 29 and day 50 more vinorelbine 15 mg/m² at day 29, day 36 and day 50 and 57 associated to cetuximab 400 mg/m² at day: 22,29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64 and 71
Experimental: Cisplatin, etoposide; patients will receive induction chemotherapy (cisplatin, docetaxel) followed by a concomitant radio-chemothérapy including 2 cycles of cisplatin and etoposide associated with a weekly cetuximab infusion during the radiotherapy.	Drug: cisplatine, etoposide, cetuximab; patient will receive 2 cycles of cisplatine 50 mg/m² at day 29, 36, 57, and 64 + étoposide 50mg/m² during day 29-33, day 57-61associated to cetuximab 400 mg/m² at day: 22,29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64 and 71
