RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving carboplatin together with docetaxel after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin together with docetaxel works in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Lung Cancer | Drug: carboplatin Drug: docetaxel | Phase 2 |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Evaluate the feasibility of adjuvant carboplatin and docetaxel in patients with resected stage I, II, or IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.
Secondary
- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the survival patterns of patients treated with this regimen.
- Assess the patterns of recurrence in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: Patients receive carboplatin IV on day 1 and docetaxel IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Single Arm Trial
adjuvant carboplatin plus docetaxel carboplatin area under curve (AUC) = 6 IV on day 1 every 3 weeks for 4 cycles docetaxel 75 mg/m² IV on day 1 every 3 weeks for 4 cycles
|
Drug: carboplatin
Carboplatin will be given intravenously,once,every 3 weeks. The carboplatin area under curve (AUC) dose will be calculated using the Calvert Equation 19 as follows: Carboplatin dose (mg) = 6x (GFR + 25)
Other Name: paraplatin
Drug: docetaxel
75 mg/m² intravenously, once, every 3 weeks
Other Name: Taxotere

- Number of Participants Who Completed Four Cycles of the Carboplatin/Docetaxel Regimen [ Time Frame: 12 weeks from initiating adjuvant therapy ]Feasibility was based on the percentage of patients completing four cycles of the carboplatin/docetaxel regimen to a high fraction of patients with curatively resected stage IIIIA non-small cell lung cancer within 12 weeks.
- Patterns of Recurrence in Patients Treated With This Regimen [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Patterns were assessed with a staging chest computerized tomography (CT), bone or positron emission tomography (PET) scan and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/CT scan at recurrence.
- Toxicity in Patients Treated With This Regimen [ Time Frame: Day 1 of treatment to 30 days after treatment discontinuation ]Safety determinations are based on the rate of drug-related adverse events (AEs) reported based upon the toxicity as measured by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0).
- Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: The time between the start of treatment to disease progression or death or the date of last contact, measured up to 18 months ]Relapse-free survival rate at 18 months. Patients were determined to have progression either by radiographic and/or pathological assessment by local physician per local standard of care monitoring for disease recurrence.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: The time between the start of treatment to disease progression or death or the date of last contact, measured up to 18 months ]Overall survival rate at 18 months.
