| - Brief summary | The standard treatment for patients with a recurrence of the NSCLC and a good performance score after treatment with chemotherapy is single agent docetaxel. Recently, pemetrexed is registered for this indication, based on a phase III study. The study showed that the survival is comparable with those who obtained with docetaxel, the toxicity of pemetrexed was significantly less. One of the questions with patients with recurrence of NSCLC after failure of first-line with platin based regimen is whether a retreatment with platin combination is more beneficial. Primary objective is to compare time to progression between single agent pemetrexed and pemetrexed-carboplatin in patients who failed previous cytotoxic treatment for NSCLC locally advanced and metastatic disease stage IIIB and IV. The secondary objective is to characterize the quantitative and qualitative toxicities of both regimens, response rates and duration of response for responding patients, and survival. patients will be randomized for treatment with pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 of treatment with carboplatin AUC5 and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2. Treatments will be administered every 21 days, 4 cycles. All patients will be treated with vitamine B12 and folic acid. The most important in- and exclusion criteria are: cytologically or histologically advanced non small cell lungcancer, stage IIIb and IV, progression after treatment with a platinum agent, performance score 0-2, >18 years, adequate bone narrow reserve, adequate liver and kidney function, measureable lesion meeting RECIST criteria. Excluded are patients with severe co-morbidity, active infection and symptomatic brainmetastasis. The number of patients required for this trial is 230, 115 in each arm, with a power of 80% to detect a difference of 33% in the progression free survival. |
