Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Docetaxel-Cisplatin Combination With Docetaxel Alone in Elderly Patients With Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer(JCOG0207)
The Elderly Lung Cancer Vinorelbine Italian Study demonstrated the first evidence of the
utility of chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
(NSCLC). In a large randomized trial, gemcitabine and vinorelbine failed to show any
advantage over either agent alone. With the current evidence, single agent chemotherapy with
a third-generation drug can be considered a recommended option for elderly patients with
advanced NSCLC. A Japanese phase I/II study showed the activity (overall response rate 52%,
median survival 12.4 months) and tolerability of weekly docetaxel/ cisplatin combination in
patients older than age 75 years. There have been no randomized prospective trials dedicated
to elderly NSCLC patients to evaluate tolerability and efficacy of platinum-based
combination.
Comparison: Single-agent weekly docetaxel versus weekly regimen of docetaxel-cisplatin
combination for elderly advanced NSCLC.
