Official title
Randomized Phase II Study of First-Line Treatment With Gemcitabine vs. Erlotinib vs. Gemcitabine and Erlotinib in Elderly Patients With Stage IIIB/IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine and erlotinib are more effective when given alone or together in treating non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying gemcitabine and erlotinib to compare how well they work when given alone or together as first-line therapy in treating older patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
