Phase II Trial of Induction Gemcitabine and Carboplatin Followed by Paclitaxel and Carboplatin With Concurrent Thoracic Radiation for Patients With Unresectable Stage IIIA/IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Gemcitabine, Carboplatin, and 2 other interventions for Lung Cancer. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a single institution Phase II study for patients with unresectable Stage IIIA and IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The treatment started with 2 cycles of gemcitabine and carboplatin followed by concurrent chemotherapy with radiation. The chemoradiation included using paclitaxel and carboplatin with daily thoracic radiation to a total dose of 74 Gy. Response rate was determined following the chemotherapy with gemcitabine and carboplatin and evaluated again after the chemoradiation. Treatment toxicities were also assessed.
