A Research Study Evaluating Oral and Intravenous NAVELBINE as a Single Agent for the Treatment of Chemotherapy-Naive Subjects With Inoperable Stage IIIb or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer


OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the safety and efficacy of oral versus intravenous vinorelbine in
patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. II. Compare the quality of life
of patients treated with these regimens. III. Compare the pharmacokinetics of these
treatment regimens in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to one of two
treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive oral vinorelbine weekly. Arm II: Patients receive
vinorelbine IV over 10 minutes weekly. Treatment continues in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life is assessed several times during
treatment and 4 weeks after treatment. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 195 patients will be accrued for this study.
