Brief summary
This is a Phase 1/Phase 2 study of STI571 combined with docetaxel and cisplatin for treatment of patients with recurrent and metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). This research study has 2 parts to it. The first part (Phase 1) is called a dose-escalation. Not all subjects enrolled into this phase of the study will receive the same dose. The purpose of the dose-escalation is to determine the highest safe dose of STI571 that can be used in combination with docetaxel and cisplatin. That dose will be used in Phase 2.
Interventions
Treatment will consist of docetaxel plus cisplatin IV every 21days and oral STI571 given on Days -5 to 2 with each chemotherapy cycle. A maximum of 6 cycles will be given. Phase 1 dose levels are: * Level 1 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 60 mg/m2, STI571 300mg * Level 2 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 60 mg/m2, STI571 400mg * Level 3 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 70 mg/m2, STI571 400mg * Level 4 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 70 mg/m2, STI571 600mg * Level 5 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 75 mg/m2, STI571 600mg * Level 6 Docetaxel/Cisplatin 75 mg/m2, STI571 800mg Once the MTD level has been established, the previous dose level will be the dosing schedule for Phase II.

Participant flow
Recruitment details
Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer were enrolled from November 2004 to April 2009. The study was closed due to poor accrual.
Pre-assignment details
Overall, 72 subject signed a consent form and 43 went on to start treatment on study. Of the 24 subjects who signed a consent form for Phase 1, 9 were screen failures and did not start study treatment. Of the 48 subjects who signed a consent form for Phase 2, 20 were screen failures and did not start study treatment.
Participants by arm
| Arm | Count |
|---|---|
| Phase 1 Eligible subjects will be enrolled in the Phase I portion of the study to determine the MTD of STI571 in combination with docetaxel plus cisplatin, given every three weeks. STI will be given intermittently for 7 days (Day -5 to Day 2) When MTD is established, Phase II study will evaluate for combined modality safety, tolerability and efficacy (response rate vs. historical control). All subjects will start with STI571 therapy alone for 7 days; pre and post STI571 treatment (Days -8 and 0) | 15 |
| Phase 2 The objective of this two-stage Phase II study is to determine whether the combination of STI571, docetaxel, and cisplatin merits inclusion in a randomized study for chemotherapy-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC. The dose for the Phase 2 portion of the trial will be IV Docetaxel / Cisplatin 60 / 60 mg/m2 and 400 mg STI571 PO QD | 28 |
