Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies...
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: Primary * Test the feasibility and toxicity of combined cetuximab, weekly docetaxel, and concurrent radiotherapy in patients with poor-risk stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Histologically or cytologically proven newly diagnosed single, primary, bronchogenic stage IIIA or selected stage IIIB (excluding malignant pleural effusion) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of one of the following cellular types:
- Adenocarcinoma
- Large cell carcinoma
- Squamous cell carcinoma
- Unspecified
- Histology or cytology from involved mediastinal or supraclavicular nodes will be sufficient for diagnosis if a separate primary lesion of the lung parenchyma is clearly evident on radiographs (i.e., a second biopsy will not be required)
- Underwent positron emission tomography (PET) scan within the past 42 days
- N2 or N3 mediastinal disease by PET scan OR enlarged nodes on CT scan determined to be N2 or N3 by biopsy
- Measurable disease, defined as lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension as ≥ 2 cm by conventional techniques or ≥ 1 cm by spiral CT scan
- Pleural effusion, ascites, bone lesions, and laboratory parameters are not considered measurable disease
- No brain metastases
- Malignant pleural effusion allowed provided 1 of the following is true:
- Present before mediastinoscopy or exploratory thoracotomy AND the pleural fluid is transudate with negative cytology
- Present only after but not before exploratory or staging thoracotomy AND the pleural fluid is either transudate or exudate with negative cytology
- Present only on CT scan but not on decubitus chest x-ray AND deemed too small to tap under either CT scan or ultrasound guidance
- PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Zubrod performance status 0-1, meeting ≥ 1 of the following criteria OR Zubrod performance status 2 with no co-morbidities or meeting 1 of the following criteria:
- No co-morbidities
- FEV\_1 \< 2 L OR \< 1 L with estimated contralateral FEV\_1 ≥ 0.6 L
- DLCO \> 10 mL/mm Hg/min
- Albumin \< 0.85 times lower limit of normal
- Unintentional weight loss \> 10% within the past 6 months
- Controlled congestive heart failure which, in the opinion of the investigator, may become decompensated due to radiotherapy
- FEV\_1 \< 2 L OR \< 1 L with estimated contralateral FEV\_1 ≥ 0.6 L
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm\^3
- Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm\^3
- Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Must provide prior smoking history
- Serum bilirubin normal
- Meets one of the following criteria:
- Alkaline phosphatase (AP) ≤ 4 times ULN AND SGOT or SGPT normal
- AP normal AND SGOT or SGPT ≤ 2.5 times ULN
- No other prior malignancy within the past 5 years except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or adequately treated stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission
- No pregnant or nursing patients
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
- PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- No prior chemotherapy or curative surgery for this cancer
- No prior radiotherapy to the neck and/or thorax for any reason
- No prior therapy which specifically targets the EGFR pathway
- No concurrent growth factors (e.g., filgrastim \[G-CSF\], epoetin alfa, or pegfilgrastim) or amifostine
- No concurrent intensity-modulated radiotherapy
- No concurrent prophylactic mediastinal, contralateral hilar, or supraclavicular lymph node radiotherapy
