Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as gemcitabine cisplatin and carboplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Giving more than one drug combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells It is not yet known whether giving gemcitabine together with cisplatin is more effective than giving gemcitabine together with carboplatin in treating non-small cell lung cancer

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying gemcitabine and cisplatin to see how well they work compared to gemcitabine and carboplatin in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the efficacy of gemcitabine in combination with 2 different doses of cisplatin vs carboplatin in terms of survival time in patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer

Secondary

Compare symptom control and quality of life of patients treated with these regimens
Compare response in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the dose intensity of these regimens in these patients
Compare the ratio of courses of treatment given as in-patient vs out-patient in these patients
Compare the intensity and number and duration of toxic episodes in patients treated with these regimens
Compare cost and cost-effectiveness of these regimens in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to WHO performance status 0 vs 1 or 2 disease stage IIIB vs IV and participating center Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1
Arm II Patients receive gemcitabine as in arm I and cisplatin at a lower dose than in arm I IV over 1 hour on day 1
Arm III Patients receive gemcitabine as in arm I and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1

In all arms treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses Patients are reassessed after 2 courses Patients with responding disease or stable disease with symptom improvement receive 2 additional courses of therapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients with disease progression or stable disease without symptom improvement are removed from the study

Quality of life is assessed at baseline on day 1 of courses 2-4 at completion of study treatment and then monthly for 6 months

After completion of study treatment patients are followed monthly for 6 months and then periodically thereafter for survival

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 1350 patients 450 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 6 years
