FDG-PET Based Chemotherapy Selection for Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating carboplatin, docetaxel, and 6 other interventions for Malignant Pleural Effusion and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 55 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This phase II trial studies how well fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG)-labeled positron emission tomography (PET) scan works in planning chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Diagnostic imaging procedures, such as FDG-labeled PET scan, may help in guiding chemotherapy and allow doctors to plan better treatment
