Trial Information

Phase II Trial of Dose-dense Paclitaxel and Cisplatin as Neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy for Operable Stage II and IIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer


This is an open-label, single-arm Phase II study of dose-dense regimen with paclitaxel and
cisplatin supported by pegfilgrastim as neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with operable
stage II, IIA NSCLC.

Paclitaxel will be administered via intravenous infusion over approximately 3 hours at dose
of 175mg/m2 on Day 1 of each 14-day cycle. Cisplatin 75mg/m2 will be given via intravenous
infusion on day 1 (after paclitaxel) according to institutional guidelines.

Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) fixed dose of 6mg (0.6mL of a 10mg/mL solution) as a single
subcutaneous injection on Day 2 of each study cycle.

All drugs will be given in 2-weekly cycle. Three cycles of pre-operative chemotherapy are
planned.


Inclusion Criteria:



- histologic or cytologic diagnosis of NSCLC

- Presence of clinical Stage IIA,IIB or IIA disease

- tumor amenable to curative surgical resection

- Patients with clinically measurable lesions will be enrolled in this study.

- No prior tumor therapy

- Performance status of 0-1 on ECOG Scale

- Patients compliance and geographic proximity that allow adequate follow-up.

- Medical fitness of patient, including respiratory function, adequate for radical
NSCLC surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Presence of clinical Stage IIIA disease, according to the revision by Mountain CF of
American Joint Committee on Cancer.

- Treatment within the last 30 days with any investigational drug.

- Cocurrent administration of any other tumor therapy, including radiotherapy,
cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, molecular target therapy.

- Active infection that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the
patient`s ability to tolerate therapy.

- pregnancy/breast feeding

- Serious concomitant disorders that would compromise the safety of the patient or
compromise the patients ability to complete the study, at the discretion of the
investigator.

- poorly controlled diabetes mellitus

- Second primary malignancy that is clinically detectable at the time of consideration
for study enrollment.

- History of significant neurological or mental disorder, including seizures or
dementia.
