Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
Sorafenib has demonstrated in vivo anti-tumor efficacy. This trial will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of sorafenib following chemoradiation in locally advanced NSCLC.
Detailed description
Outline: This is a multi-center study. Chemotherapy/radiation therapy (2 cycles) * Cisplatin 50 mg/m2 IV days 1 and 8 of 28 day cycle * Etoposide 50 mg/m2 IV days 1-5 of 28 day cycle * Concurrent chest radiation (planned dose is 5940 cGy with an additional, optional boost of 1080 cGy to a total allowed dose of 7020 cGy) with the following: Maintenance therapy of Sorafenib 400 mg PO BID of 28 day cycle, to begin a minimum of 6 and maximum of 9 weeks from completion of chemo-radiotherapy until PD, intolerable toxicity, or up to 1 year. Patients with progressive disease will discontinue treatment. ECOG performance status 0 or 1 Hematopoietic: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500 mm3 * Platelet count ≥ 100,000 mm3 * Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL * PT or INR \< 1.5 x ULN unless on anti-coagulant therapy * PTT \< 1.5 x ULN unless on anti-coagulant therapy Hepatic: * Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN * ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for patients with liver involvement) * AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for patients with liver involvement) Renal: * Creatinine \< 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) Cardiovascular: * No significant history of cardiac disease: Congestive heart failure \> class II NYHA. * Patients must not have unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest) or new onset angina (began within 90 days prior to registration for initial therapy) or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to registration for initial therapy. Respiratory: * FEV1 ≥ 1 liter by spirometry within 60 days prior to registration for initial therapy.
