Gefitinib With or Without Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Older Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Lung Cancer
In brief
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as gefitinib may interfere with the growth of cancer cells and slow the growth of the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as carboplatin and paclitaxel use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining gefitinib with carboplatin and paclitaxel may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gefitinib alone or together with carboplatin and paclitaxel works in treating older patients with unresectable or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
