Celecoxib and Erlotinib in Treating Former Smokers With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

In brief

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of celecoxib when given together with erlotinib in treating former smokers with stage IIIB, stage IV, recurrent, or progressive non-small cell lung cancer. Celecoxib and erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth.
