Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of R115777 in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Assess the response rate of patients with recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer when treated with tipifarnib Determine the clinical toxicities of this treatment in these patients Assess the overall survival and time to progression of this patient population when treated with this regimen Evaluate the inhibition of protein farnesylation in vivo and correlate such inhibition to plasma levels of tipifarnib Evaluate the occurrence of CYP450 polymorphisms and relate these to drug toxicity pharmacokinetics and response to this treatment in this patient population
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study
Patients receive oral tipifarnib twice daily on days 1-21 Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients are followed every 3 months for 5 years
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study over 12 months
