Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to learn the effects on lung cancer of 2 new drugs, Tarceva and Targretin, given in combination before surgical removal of the tumor. Tarceva is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for lung cancer. Targretin is approved for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. This combination of drugs is experimental.

Detailed Description

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

Erlotinib 150mg and bexarotene 400mg/m2 will be administered orally for 7-9 days prior to thoracotomy. Plasma samples will be collected on the day before surgery and along with tissue samples on the day of the thoracotomy. Analyses will be done on the resected specimen and it will be compared to the pre-study diagnostic specimen.
