Brief Summary: The primary objective is to determine the anti-tumor activity of the combination of apricoxib either docetaxel APDC or pemetrexed APPE compared with placebo either docetaxel PDC or pemetrexed PPE as measured by progression free survival in patients with Stage IIIb pleural effusionor Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC
Detailed Description: Patients diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to platinum-based chemotherapy are eligible to particvpate in this study

Current standard treatments for this type of lung cancer are generally not effective in preventing the cancer from growing The purpose of this study is to see if adding the drug apricoxib to standard chemotherapy is effective in treting NSCLC Apricoxib is an investigational drug Investigational means that it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration FDA Laboratory studies suggest that apricoxib may be useful in the treatment of cancer This is seen particularly when it is combined with chemotherapy drugs However this has not been proven in humans

Laboratory evidence indicates that apricoxib may benefit patients whose disease over-produces a substance called COX-2 COX-2 can be detected in the urine as a substance called PGE-M prostaglandin E metabolite It is thought that patients who have a PGE-M level in the urine that decreases by at least half after taking apricoxib may benefit more than patients whose urine PGE-M decreases by less than half after apricoxib

This study evaluated whether adding apricoxib to standard chemotherapy treatment will improve outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer whose urine PGE-M decreases at least 50 after taking apricoxib Apricoxib or placebo was added to either docetaxel or pemetrexed treatment
