Trial Information

A Randomized Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study of CI-994 Capsules Plus Gemcitabine Infusion Versus Placebo Capsules Plus Gemcitabine Infusion as Second-Line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine with or without CI-994 in
patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter study. Patients
are stratified according to performance status and are randomized to one of two treatment
arms. Arm I: Patients receive CI-994 orally on days 1-21 and gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes
on days 1, 8, and 15. Arm II: Patients receive placebo capsules orally on days 1-21 and
gemcitabine as in arm I. Treatment repeats every 28 days as long as medically appropriate
(absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity).

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 176 patients will be accrued for this study.
