Acronym: CAPPA-2
Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact on overall survival OS of the addition of cisplatin to gemcitabine vs gemcitabine alone in patients with advanced NSCLC in poor clinical condition PS 2 not previously treated
Detailed Description: Performance status is one of the most important prognostic factors for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC regardless of treatment received Chemotherapy is recommended for advanced NSCLC patients in good clinical condition but it is not clear how much benefit is gained from giving chemotherapy to patients in poor general condition performance status 2 This category of patients represents about 20 of all patients at initial diagnosis of NSCLC and remains a treatment challenge for the clinician There have been very few studies that have evaluated the impact of chemotherapy for this group of patients and there is no established standard therapy Studies evaluating single agent and combination two-agent chemotherapy regimens impact on survival and improving symptoms are needed
