Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective for non-small cell lung cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of carboplatin plus paclitaxel with or without tirapazamine in treating patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the effects of paclitaxel and carboplatin with or without tirapazamine on progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with stage IV and selected stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer
Compare response rates in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the toxic effects of these regimens in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are stratified according to weight loss less than 5 vs 5 or more stage of disease IIIB vs IV and lactate dehydrogenase level normal vs abnormal Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive tirapazamine IV over 2 hours followed by paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1
Arm II Patients receive paclitaxel and carboplatin as in arm I Treatment continues every 21 days for a total of 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed every 3 months for one year and then every 6 months for 2 years or until death

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 500 patients 250 per arm will be accrued for this study within 20 months
