  Purpose

Primary objectives of the study are:

To assess the differences in survival of the two treatment options in both stage III (A and B) nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Study A) and Stage IIIB (wet) and stage IV NSCLC (Study B), respectively

Secondary objectives are:

To assess the differences in toxicity of two treatment options in both stage III (A and B) NSCLC (Study A) and Stage IIIB (wet) and stage IV NSCLC (Study B), and To assess the differences in Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of two treatment options in both Study A and Study B

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Radiotherapy
For patients in Group A (Stage IIIA or IIIB), EBRT 39 Gy in 13 daily fractions over, with no chemotherapy.
Radiation: radiation
39 Gy in 13 daily fractions of 3 Gy
Experimental: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy
For patients in Group A (either stage IIIA or IIIB) receive a course of up to 3 cycles of chemotherapy followed by EBRT of 10 Gy in a single fraction or 16 Gy in 2 fractions 1 week apart.
Other: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy
Chemotherapy followed by low dose palliative radiotherapy
Active Comparator: Chemotherapy
For patients in Group B (either stage IIIB (wet) or IV) receive up to 3 cycles of chemotherapy, and no radiotherapy.
Drug: Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy given alone
Experimental: Palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy
For patients in Group B (either stage IIIB (wet) or IV) receive EBRT of 10 Gy in a single fraction or 16 Gy in two fractions 1 week apart, followed by up to 3 cycles of chemotherapy.
Other: Palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy
Low dose palliative radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy

Detailed Description:

To compare survival rates (median and 1-year), and toxicity of two treatment regimens in patients with locally advanced incurable NSCLC (study A), to compare survival rates (median and 1-year) of two treatment regimens in patients with locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC (study B)

To compare HRQoL and cost effectiveness of two treatment regimens in patients with locally advanced incurable NSCLC (study A), and in patients with locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC (study B) and to evaluate the effect of HRQoL assessment on QoL dimensions
