Trial Information

A Phase II Randomized Trial With Captopril In Patients Who Have Received Radiation Therapy +/- Chemotherapy For Stage II-IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage I Central Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Or Limited-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the effect of captopril on the incidence of pulmonary damage at 12 months
after radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy in patients with stage II-IIIB
non-small cell lung cancer, stage I central non-small cell lung cancer, or limited
stage small cell lung cancer.

- Compare the quality of life of patients treated with captopril vs patients who undergo
post-radiotherapy observation only.

- Determine the persistence of captopril's effect on pulmonary toxicity in these
patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to
participating center, total lung irradiated (< 25% vs 25-37% vs more than 37%), prior
surgery (yes vs no), and prior chemotherapy (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2
treatment arms.

- Arm I: Patients receive oral captopril 3 times daily for 1 year in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

- Arm II: Patients undergo observation only for 1 year. Quality of life is assessed at
baseline and at months 3, 6, 12, and 18.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then
annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 205 patients will be accrued for this study within 18 months.
