Interventions

• Erlotinib (tarceva) — DRUG
  Erlotinib 150mg orally each day. Patients will be treated on a continuous, once daily oral dosing schedule until disease progression, withdrawal of consent, unacceptable adverse events, death or completion of 3 years of therapy.
• Placebo — DRUG
  Matched placebo orally each day. Patients will be treated on a continuous, once daily oral dosing schedule until disease progression, withdrawal of consent, unacceptable adverse events death or completion of 3 years of therapy.

Study Details

This is a national, randomized, web-based, double-blind study to determine whether erlotinib (Tarceva) compared to placebo improves progression-free survival (PFS) for patients with inoperable, stage III NSCLC following concurrent docetaxel, carboplatin and thoracic radiotherapy. We hypothesize that the introduction of this orally active, well-tolerated agent following concurrent chemoradiation and prior to the emergence of drug resistance will prolong the progression-free survival by 40% (10 months → 14 months).
