Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients who have metastatic or recurrent unresectable non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate to carboplatin and paclitaxel in elderly patients with metastatic or recurrent unresectable non-small cell lung cancer. II. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine if the hypothesized lack of social support impacts the recruitment of elderly patients into clinical trials. IV. Determine if a previously validated tool of functional status in the elderly predicts treatment related toxicity superior to that predicted by the ECOG performance status in this patient population.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

carboplatin + paclitaxel

Following completion of the Lubben Social Network Scale and Frailty Questionnaire, patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes and paclitaxel IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15.

Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses. Patients with complete response receive 2 additional courses of therapy. Patients with partial response or stable disease may receive additional courses of therapy at investigator's discretion. Patients are followed every 3 months for 5 years or until disease progression.
