Study Completion Date: March 2005
Primary Completion Date: July 2004 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: bexarotene with carboplatin and paclitaxel Drug: bexarotene with carboplatin and paclitaxel
bexarotene capsules (400 mg/m^2/day) in combination with carboplatin IV (AUC 6) every 3 weeks and paclitaxel IV (200 mg/m^2) every 3 weeks. Subjects in this group also received an antilipid agent which was selected at the discretion of the investigator.
Experimental: carboplatin and paclitaxel Drug: carboplatin and paclitaxel
carboplatin IV (AUC 6) every 3 weeks and paclitaxel IV (200 mg/m^2) every 3 weeks.

Detailed Description:

This study evaluates the use of Targretin capsules (bexarotene) in combination with Carboplatin and Paclitaxel for the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer in patients who have not yet received chemotherapy for their lung cancer. Every patient receives a platinum-containing chemotherapy every three weeks for at least four chemotherapy cycles (approximately four months). Half of the patients are randomly assigned to receive Targretin capsules once daily in addition to the chemotherapy. The other half is randomized to receive a standard platinum-containing chemotherapy without Targretin capsules.

  Eligibility

Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Patients must have:

  • Pathologic (histologic or cytologic) confirmation of NSCLC
  • Stage IIIB with malignant pleural effusion or Stage IV disease
  • At least one measurable or evaluable NSCLC lesion that has not been previously irradiated unless radiation therapy was more than three weeks prior to entry in the study and the lesion has been shown to have progressed subsequent to the radiation therapy
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1
  • Adequate organ system function
  • Fasting serum triglycerides that are within the age-adjusted normal range (or normalized with appropriate intervention such as antilipid therapy prior to the initiation of Targretin capsule therapy).

Patients must be able to complete at least four cycles of combination chemotherapy (i.e., approximately four months)

Patients must not have had:

  • Brain metastasis
  • Prior chemotherapy for NSCLC
  • Prior platinum-based chemotherapy for any indication
