Trial Information
A Phase II Trial of Trastuzumab (Herceptin) for Advanced Stage (IIIB, IV), HER2 Overexpressing, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the activity of trastuzumab (Herceptin) in patients with stage IIIB or IV
HER2-overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the duration of response in patients treated with this regimen. II. Determine
the toxicity of this treatment regimen in this patient population.
III. Assess levels of circulating HER2 and correlate with HER2 expression in this patient
population.
V. Correlate circulating HER2 levels with non-small cell lung cancer tissue HER2 expression.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment continues
once a week in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed every 8 weeks until disease progression or death.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 84 patients (42 per stratum) will be accrued for this study
within 17.5 months.

pleural fluid bloody or exudative)

and chest radiotherapy
- Recurrent disease allowed
- HER2 overexpression (2-3+)

- Platelet count at least 100,000/mm3
- Bilirubin no greater than 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Creatinine no greater than 1.5 times ULN
- LVEF at least 45% (by echocardiogram or MUGA)

- No more than 1 prior chemotherapy regimen for lung cancer
- At least 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy
- No concurrent chemotherapy
- No concurrent steroids except for adrenal failure or dexamethasone as an antiemetic
- No concurrent hormonal therapy except for nondisease-related conditions (e.g.,
insulin for diabetes)
- At least 6 months since prior radiotherapy
- No concurrent palliative radiotherapy
- At least 4 weeks since prior major surgery
