Erlotinib Hydrochloride With or Without Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB-IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Completed · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

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

In brief

RATIONALE: Erlotinib hydrochloride and celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Celecoxib may also stop the growth of lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with celecoxib works compared with erlotinib hydrochloride alone in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer.
