Condition(s) targeted: Lung Cancer
Intervention: Celecoxib (Drug); Docetaxel (Drug)
Phase: Phase 2

Summary
RATIONALE: Celecoxib may slow the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.
Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop
growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining celecoxib and docetaxel in
treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has been previously
treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
Clinical Details
Official title: Evaluation Of Celecoxib In Combination With Docetaxel In The Treatment Of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Previously Treated With Platinum Based Chemotherapy
Study design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Efficacy of combining Celecoxib with Docetaxel
Secondary outcome: Response rate of Celecoxib and DocetaxelToxicity of Celecoxib and Docetaxel Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in tumors Changes in plasma levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) & vascular endthelial growth factor (VEGF) Vascular changes induced in the tumor by celecoxib
Detailed description:
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the efficacy and feasibility of celecoxib combined with docetaxel in patients
with advanced non-small cell lung cancer previously treated with platinum-based
chemotherapy.
- Determine the response rate of patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive oral celecoxib twice daily (beginning on day - 7 of the first course) and
docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve a complete response (CR) receive
2 additional courses after CR. Patients who achieve stable disease (SD) or a partial
response (PR) receive a minimum of 2 additional courses after SD or PR. At the discretion of
the treating physician, patients then receive maintenance therapy comprising celecoxib only.
Patients who discontinue therapy for disease progression or unacceptable toxicity are
followed for at least 6 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-39 patients will be accrued for this study within 13-28
months.
