Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Oral Vinorelbine 60mg/m2 on day 1 and day 8 of 21 day cycle for 1st 2 cycles and then escalated to 80mg/m2 on day 1 and day 8 for further 2 cycles if no grade 3 toxicities were noticed, in combination with intravenous carboplatin at a dose calculated according to the formula of Calvert at AUC of 5, on day 1 of 21 day cycle. This induction treatment will be given for up to four cycles. Then maintenance treatment with either oral vinorelbine at dose given at the last cycle of induction therapy on day 1 and day 8 of 21 day cycle or Erlotinib 150mg orally continuously every day. The maintenance treatment with vinorelbine or Erlotinib will commence 3 weeks after the last cycle in induction phase of chemotherapy and will continue until documented disease progression, unaccepable toxicities, patient's refusal or investigatior's decision based on the best interests of the patient.

Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
The comparison is between maintainence treatment with either Erlotinib 150 mg orally every day or oral Vinorelbine at the same dose given at the last cycle of induction chemotherapy on day 1 and day 8 of 21 day cycle to be commenced after 3 weeks of completion of induction treatment. Both groups will receive the same induction treatment.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
All eligible patients will be given induction chemotherapy with oral Vinorelbie with Carboplatin every 3 weeks for up to 4 cycles. Pateints with non progressive disease will be randomised to receive either oral Vinorelbine or oral Erlotinib until disese progression, unacceptable toxicities, death of patient withdrawal from the study. Method used for allocation concealment will be through central randomisation by computer.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of induction chemotherapy followed by maintenance with one of the two different drugs in elderly patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Who is it for?
you may be eligible to join this study if you are male or female above 70 years and you have been diagnosed with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Trial details
All participants will undergo upto 4 x 3 weeks cycles of induction chemotherapy with the drugs vinorelbine (taken as an oral tablet) and carboplatin administered into the vein (intravenously). Participants whose disease has not progressed will then be randomly (by chance) allocated to one of two groups. One group will take a vinorelbine capsule on day 1 and 8 of 3 week cycle. Participants in the other group will take one Erlotinib tablet every day. Participants in both groups will take the treatment till progression of disease, unacceptable side effects or if patient chooses not to continue the treatment.
Participants will be assessed every 3-6 weeks until disease progression, death or unacceptable toxicities in order to determine quality of life and response to treatment.
