Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Treatment plus supportive care may improve quality of life in patients undergoing cancer treatment

PURPOSE Randomized phase IIIII trial to compare the effect of different gemcitabine regimens plus supportive care on quality of life in patients who have locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare quality of life in terms of the degree of symptom palliation and improvements in performance status of patients with locally advanced or metastatic poor prognosis non-small cell lung cancer treated with 2 schedules of gemcitabine combined with best supportive care
Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients
Compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens
Compare the response rate in patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized open-label multicenter study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes once a week for 3 weeks Treatment continues every 4 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Arm II Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes once a week for 2 weeks Treatment continues every 3 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients on both arms also receive best supportive care Additional courses of gemcitabine may be administered at the discretion of the investigator

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and then after each course of chemotherapy

Patients are followed every 2 months for survival

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 174 patients 87 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
