PURPOSE: Standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) consists of platinum based combination chemotherapy but efficacy is limited and treatment can be toxic. This trial evaluated a weekly regimen of docetaxel and gemcitabine for advanced NSCLC. The primary endpoint was objective response rate. Other endpoints were 1-year survival, median survival, median duration of response, median disease-free progression, safety, and quality of life.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty patients with advanced NSCLC were treated. Patients received docetaxel (1 per week, 36 mg/m(2)) weeks 1-6 and gemcitabine (1 per week, 900 mg/m(2)) weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5. Each 8-week cycle was repeated for a total of three cycles. Patients completed quality of life surveys (FACT-L) before each cycle.
RESULTS: The median age was 68.5 years; 74% were >60 years old. In the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis of response, 10 patients had a partial response (20%) and five patients had stable disease (10%). The 1-year survival was 32%; median survival for all patients was 6.9 months (range, <1-26.2) and the median progression-free survival was 5.1 months (range, <1-25.5). Toxicities (> grade 3) included neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, GI disorders (nausea, vomiting, dehydration, diarrhea, stomach pain), and asthenia; 10 patients experienced hematological toxicities that were > grade 3. Quality of life decreased during the study.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the nonplatinum doublet (docetaxel + gemcitabine) given on a weekly schedule for advanced NSCLC had efficacy similar to that reported with other regimens and was well tolerated. Therefore, this non-platinum based regimen appears promising and warrants further evaluation.
