Lung Neoplasms
Conditions
Brief summary
Primary objective: * To classify the 2 study groups, according to the tumoral response. Secondary objectives: * To evaluate the percentage of focused control per year. * To calculate the time until progression. * To evaluate the safety profile.
Interventions
Docetaxel 20 mg/m²/week with carboplatin AUC 2/week and concomitant radiotherapy up to 60 Gy. Further on, 2 Docetaxel cycles and gemcitabine according to arm 2.
Docetaxel 40 mg/ m² days 1, 8, 21 and 28 with gemcitabine 1200 mg/ m² days 1, 8, 21 and 28 followed by concomitant treatment with docetaxel 20 mg/m²/week with carboplatin AUC 2/week and concomitant radiotherapy up to 60 Gy (2 Gy/day, 5 days per week and for 6 weeks).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Response rate in each arm measured according to RECIST criteria | Throughout the whole study |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage of local-regional control within a year | Throughout the first year |
| Time to progression defined as the period of time elapsed between the randomization date and the progression or death date | Throughout the whole study |
| Toxicity measured by CALGB criteria and RTOG/EORTC criteria | Throughout the whole study |
| Global surveillance measured as the period of time elapsed between randomization and death date. | Throughout the whole study duration |
