About this study

Official title: A Two-Stage Phase 1 Dose Escalation Pharmacokinetic Study of Tarceva® (Erlotinib) in Patients With Stage IIIB/IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Who Continue To Smoke After Failure of One or Two Prior Chemotherapy Regimens

This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 1 study of escalating doses of Tarceva in patients with advanced NSCLC who currently smoke.

Part I will establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Tarceva in current smokers.

In Part II, patients will be randomized 1:1 to two treatment groups: Arm A (Tarceva MTD established in Part I) and Arm B (150 mg Tarceva daily). Patients in both arms will be treated for two weeks and then have pharmacokinetic samples collected on day 14. Part II is open as of Nov-2006.
