Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In order to enroll in this study, you must also be enrolled in Protocol 2005-0823 (NCT00409968): A Biomarker-integrated study in Chemorefractory Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Protocol 2005-0823 (NCT00409968) is the screening study in a group of studies called the BATTLE program. Participants in Protocol 2005-0823(NCT00409968) are assigned to one of the research studies. The results of your tumor analysis helped the study doctor determine to assign you to this particular research study.
While on study, you will take erlotinib hydrochloride and bexarotene by mouth once a day. Erlotinib hydrochloride tablets should be taken preferably in the morning 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal with no more than 7 ounces of water. If you forget to take a dose, the last missed dose should be taken as soon as you remember, as long as it is at least 12 hours before the next dose is due to be taken. The next day, you should take the scheduled dose at the usual time.
Bexarotene capsules should be taken with or immediately after a meal. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, with food. However, if it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your dose schedule as before.
Every attempt should be made to keep from vomiting the medication for at least 30 minutes after taking it. For example, if you feel nauseated before or after taking the medication, anti-nausea medications should be used.
The erlotinib hydrochloride tablets and bexarotene capsules should be stored at room temperature. Bexarotene capsules should not be stored near heating devices, high temperatures or humidity, or where children or pets have access to them. Bexarotene capsules should be protected from sunlight.
Every 4 weeks (1 cycle) your medical history will be recorded and you will have a physical exam, including measurement of vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and breathing rate) and weight. You will have routine blood tests (about 2 teaspoons) and a performance status evaluation (questions about your ability to perform everyday activities). You will have blood drawn (about 1-2 teaspoons) to check you thyroid function. You will also have blood drawn (about 1-2 teaspoons) to check your lipid profile weekly for the first 4 weeks and then every cycle after that. Your study doctor will also ask you about any medications you are taking and your smoking history.
Every 2 cycles, your tumor will be evaluated by chest x-ray and computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to evaluate the status of the disease. If you are taking Coumadin® (warfarin), you will have blood drawn (about 1-2 teaspoons) to check your blood clotting function weekly for the first 5 weeks of treatment and then every cycle after that.
You may continue receiving erlotinib hydrochloride and bexarotene for as long as the cancer responds to study treatment. Your doctor may decide to take you off this study if you experience intolerable side effects, your medical condition gets worse, or you are unable to comply with study requirements. If you stop study treatment, you may be able to enroll in 1 of the remaining 3 protocols of the BATTLE program.
After you have stopped taking the study treatment, you will have a physical exam, including measurement of vital signs. Blood (about 2 teaspoons) and urine will be collected for routine tests. You will also have blood drawn (about 1-2 teaspoons) to check your blood clotting function. You will have a performance status evaluation, a chest x-ray, and a CT or MRI scan. Following this evaluation, you will be contacted by telephone every 3 months for up to 3 years, to see how you are doing.
This is an investigational study. Erlotinib hydrochloride is approved by the FDA for treatment of NSCLC in patients who have relapsed. Bexarotene is approved by the FDA for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Their use together in this study is investigational. Up to 72 patients will take part in this multicenter study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. The patient has a diagnosis of either stage IIIB, stage IV, or advanced, incurable NSCLC, and failed at least one front-line metastatic NSCLC chemotherapy regimen. (Patients who have failed adjuvant or locally advanced therapy within 6 months are also eligible to participate in study).
3. The patient has uni-dimensionally measurable NSCLC.
4. Karnofsky performance status \>/= 60 or ECOG performance status 0-2
5. The patient has biopsy accessible tumor.
6. The patient has adequate hematologic function as defined by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>/= 1,500/mm\^3, platelet count \>/= 100,000/mm\^3, WBC \>/= 3,000/ mm\^3, and hemoglobin \>/= 9 g/dL.
7. The patient has adequate hepatic function as defined by a total bilirubin level \</= 1.5 X the upper limit of normal, and alkaline phosphatase, AST or ALT \</= 2.5 X the upper limit of normal.
8. The patient has adequate renal function as defined by a serum creatinine level \</= 1.5 mg/dL or a calculated creatinine clearance of \>/= 60cc/minute.
9. The patient has PT \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal
10. If patient has brain metastasis, they must have been stable (treated or asymptomatic) for at least 4 weeks after radiation if treated with radiation and not have used steroids for at least 1 week.
11. The patient is \>/= 18 years of age.
12. The patient has signed informed consent.
13. The patient is eligible if disease free from a previously treated malignancy, other than a previous NSCLC, for greater than two years. Patients with a history of prior basal cell carcinoma of the skin or pre-invasive carcinoma of the cervix are exempt from exclusion.
14. Women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Childbearing potential will be defined as women who have had menses within the past 12 months, who have not had tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect that she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. The patient, if a man, agrees to use effective contraception or abstinence.
15. Subject must be considered legally capable of providing his or her own consent for participation in this study.
Exclusion Criteria
2. The patient has undergone prior thoracic or abdominal surgery within 28 days of study entry, excluding prior diagnostic biopsy.
3. The patient has received radiation therapy to the measurable tumor within 6 months. Patients are allowed to have local irradiation for the management of tumor-related symptoms (bones, brain). However, if a patient has active new disease growing in the previously irradiated site, the patient will be eligible to participate in the study.
4. The patient has a significant medical history or unstable medical condition (unstable systemic disease: congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Functional Classification class II or worse), recent myocardial infarction within 3 months, unstable angina, active infection (i.e. currently treated with antibiotics), uncontrolled hypertension). Patients with controlled diabetes will be allowed. Patient must be able to undergo procedure for tissue acquisition.
6. The patient is pregnant (confirmed by serum b-HCG if applicable) or is breastfeeding.
7. The patient has a concurrent condition which in the investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.
8. The patient is actively taking herbal remedies or over-the-counter biologics (e.g., shark cartilage, high dose antioxidants).
9. Patients will be allowed to have prior biologic (i.e. VEGF, EGFR, etc.) therapy. However, the patient will be excluded from a given study if he/she has received the same therapy as the clinical trial (i.e. If a patient has been previously treated with bevacizumab, they are allowed to enroll in any of the 4 studies. If a patient has been previously treated with erlotinib, they are excluded from the clinical trials with erlotinib). In addition, if a patient has been previously treated with gefitinib (Iressa), they are excluded from the clinical trials with erlotinib.
