Cisplatin & Gemcitabine/Erlotinib

Regimen

Study	Dates of enrollment	Evidence	Comparator	Comparative Efficacy
Wu et al. 2013 (FASTACT-2)	2009-04-29 to 2010-09-09	Phase 3 (E-esc)	1a. Carboplatin & Gemcitabine 1b. Cisplatin & Gemcitabine	Superior PFS (primary endpoint) Median PFS: 7.6 vs 6 mo (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.47-0.69) Seems to have superior OS (secondary endpoint) Median OS: 18.3 vs 15.2 mo (HR 0.79, 95% CI 0.64-0.99)

Note: this cohort was enriched for EGFR mutations and only those patients with an activating EGFR gene mutation were noted to have a treatment benefit in favor of the experimental arm.

Chemotherapy

Cisplatin (Platinol) 75 mg/m² IV once on day 1
Gemcitabine (Gemzar) 1250 mg/m² IV once per day on days 1 & 8

Targeted therapy

Erlotinib (Tarceva) 150 mg PO once per day on days 15 to 28

28-day cycle for 4 cycles

Note: these are all trials restricted to patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer. Some trials of erlotinib in unselected populations nevertheless had high rates of EGFR-mutated lung cancers, due to the nature of the populations studied. See the main NSCLC page for these trials. SOLAR should not be confused with the trial by the same name in gastric cancer.
