Background:Two parallel randomized phase 2 trialswere performed to choose the optimal way of combining cetuximab with gemcitabine in the first-line treatment of elderly (CALC1-E) and adult PS2 (CALC1-PS2) patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: Stage IV or IIIB NSCLC patients, aged ≥70 years with PS 0–2 for CALC1-E or aged <70 with PS2 for CALC1-PS2, not selected for EGFR expression,were eligible. Patients were randomized to concomitant (gemcitabine, for a maximum of 6 cycles, plus cetuximab until progression) or sequential (gemcitabine, for a maximum of 6 cycles, followed by cetuximab) strategy. A selection design, with 1-year survival rate as the primary endpoint, was applied, requiring 58…

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect on quality of life (QOL) of the addition of cisplatin to single-agent chemotherapy in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) enrolled in two parallel phase 3 trials, MILES-3 and MILES-4. Patients and methods Advanced NSCLC pts, >70 years old, performance status (PS) 0–1, were eligible. Patients were randomly assigned to chemotherapy without or with cisplatin. EORTC QLQ C30 and LC13 questionnaires were planned at baseline, end of cycle 1 and end of cycle 2 in both trials and were used for joint QOL analysis. Trial-specific data including questionnaires at non-shared time-points were used for additional ana…
