- Overall survival [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of death or last follow-up, assessed up to 7 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Survival distributions will be compared by use of the log-rank test. The stratified log-rank test (nominal or categorical covariates) may be used to simultaneously control for important prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier curves will also be plotted to illustrate the comparative survival experience of both groups over the entire study period.
- Progression-free survival every 3 months [ Time Frame: From randomization until disease progression, assessed up to 7 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Will be compared by use of the log-rank test. The stratified log-rank test (nominal or categorical covariates) may be used to simultaneously control for important prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier curves will also be plotted.
- Tumor response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Will be compared by chi-square test.
- Tumor response duration [ Time Frame: From first observation of at least a partial response to detection of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 7 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Will be compared by use of the log-rank test. The stratified log-rank test (nominal or categorical covariates) may be used to simultaneously control for important prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier curves will also be plotted.
- Metastasis-free survival [ Time Frame: From randomization until metastasis documented by imaging procedures, assessed up to 7 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Will be compared by use of the log-rank test. The stratified log-rank test (nominal or categorical covariates) may be used to simultaneously control for important prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier curves will also be plotted.

Experimental: Arm I (shark cartilage extract AE-941)
Patients receive oral AE-941 (Neovastat) twice daily beginning on day 1 or within 10 days of initiation of chemotherapy. All patients receive induction chemotherapy with 1 of the following platinum-based regimens: cisplatin IV on days 1, 22, 50, and 71 and vinorelbine IV on days 1, 8, 22, 29, 50, 57, 71, and 78 carboplatin IV over 30 minutes and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on days 1, 22, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, and 85. All patients receive radiotherapy beginning on day 50 for 6 weeks. Treatment in both arms continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. |

Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the overall survival of patients with unresectable stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer treated with induction platinum-based chemotherapy and radiotherapy with or without AE-941 (Neovastat).
II. Determine the progression-free survival, tumor response, tumor response duration, and metastasis-free survival of patients treated with these regimens.
III. Determine the tolerability of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to stage (IIIA vs IIIB), type of platinum-based induction chemotherapy to be received (cisplatin and vinorelbine vs carboplatin and paclitaxel), and gender. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Arm I: Patients receive oral AE-941 (Neovastat) twice daily beginning on day 1 or within 10 days of initiation of chemotherapy.
Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo twice daily beginning on day 1 or within 10 days of initiation of chemotherapy.
All patients receive induction chemotherapy with 1 of the following platinum-based regimens: cisplatin IV on days 1, 22, 50, and 71 and vinorelbine IV on days 1, 8, 22, 29, 50, 57, 71, and 78 carboplatin IV over 30 minutes and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on days 1, 22, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, and 85.
All patients receive radiotherapy beginning on day 50 for 6 weeks. Treatment in both arms continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed every 3 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 756 patients (378 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 36 months.
