Brief Title: Combination Chemotherapy Plus Fluoxetine in Treating Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Official Title: Fluoxetine in Stage IIIB/IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): A Phase II Pilot Study to Improve Quality of Life During Chemotherapy
Study ID: NCT00005850
Brief Summary: This trial is designed to test the efficacy of fluoxetine to improve patient's quality of life during chemotherapy. An innovative application of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor may modulate the effects of fatigue, anxiety and depression which worsen quality of life.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: Primary Objectives: 1. To preliminarily test the efficacy of fluoxetine to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer receiving chemotherapy by decreasing anxiety, depression and fatigue. 2. To test the feasibility of conducting a multi-center clinical trial of fluoxetine administered by oncologists concurrently with chemotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Secondary Objectives: 1. To describe the tumor response rate associated with the administration of gemcitabine/cisplatin in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. 2. To describe the overall survival and failure-free survival associated with the administration of gemcitabine/cisplatin. 3. To describe the toxicity associated with the administration of gemcitabine/cisplatin.
