Clinical Trial Name - Erlotinib and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Recurrent Non-Small Cell

 
Original Study ID : CDR0000304495
Secondary ID : Array
NCT ID : NCT00062101
Brief Title : Erlotinib and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Official Title : A Phase II Study Of OSI 774 (IND Number 63383) In Combination With Celecoxib (Celebrex, Pharmacia) As Second-Line Therapy In Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Brief Summary :

RATIONALE: Erlotinib and celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Celecoxib may slow the growth of a tumor by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Combining erlotinib with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving erlotinib together with celecoxib works in treating patients with recurrent stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description :

OBJECTIVES: - Determine the response rate of patients with stage IIIB or IV recurrent non-small cell lung cancer treated with erlotinib and celecoxib as second-line therapy. - Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the survival duration of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients. - Correlate the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor and cyclooxygenase-2 in tumor specimens with response, time to progression, and survival in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups. - Group 1: Patients receive oral erlotinib once daily and oral celecoxib twice daily. - Group 2: Patients receive erlotinib as in group 1. Treatment in both groups continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 2 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40-80 patients will be accrued for this study within 10 months.
