Radiation Therapy and Ammonium Tetrathiomolybdate in Treating Patients With Stage I, Stage II, or Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate may stop the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving ammonium tetrathiomolybdate together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of giving radiation therapy together with ammonium tetrathiomolybdate in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Who may be able to participate
The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.
- DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) meeting the following criteria:
- Squamous, large cell undifferentiated, or adenocarcinoma
- Sputum cytology not acceptable evidence of cell type
- Cytologic specimens obtained by brushing, washing, or needle aspiration of a defined lesion allowed
- Stage I-IIIB disease
- No evidence of distant metastases
- Planning to receive definitive radiotherapy alone or post-operative radiotherapy (for gross residual disease or positive margin)
- Medically inoperable disease or chemotherapy or surgery refused
- Mediastinal lymph nodes must be evaluated by either mediastinoscopy or by PET scan, unless definitive CT-positive mediastinal disease is noted
- If patient cannot tolerate mediastinoscopy and no PET is available, the technetium 99m sestamibi scan is allowed for assessment of the mediastinum
- No stage IIIB disease with pleural effusions or stage IV disease
- No small cell lung cancer or mixed small cell/non-small cell histology PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- SWOG performance status 0-2
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
- WBC ≥ 3,000/mm³
- ANC ≥ 1,200/mm³
- Platelet count ≥ 80,000/mm³
- Creatinine \< 1.8 mg/dL
- Prior malignancy allowed if disease free for ≥ 5 years
- Nonmelanoma skin cancer allowed within 5 years
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
- No grade 3 hemoptysis (or hemoptysis not requiring transfusion, but where the radiation oncologist has concerns about a 3-week delay in treatment)
- No pneumonia due to bronchial obstruction (or a high-grade bronchial obstruction where the radiation oncologist has concerns about a 3-week delay in treatment)
- No transfusion dependence requiring \> 2 units of packed RBCs every 2 weeks for more than 28 days
- No medically serious acute or chronic medical condition that is unstable and/or requires intensive management PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
- Prior thoracic radiation allowed if the new lesion can be treated with absolutely no overlap of previous treatment fields
- At least 3 weeks since prior surgery
- No concurrent chemotherapy
Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
