RATIONALE: Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with advanced lung cancer that is no longer responding to erlotinib or gefitinib.
Name: dasatinib
Type: DrugDasatinib
Description: To determine the overall response rate in patients with acquired erlotinib hydrochloride- or gefitinibresistant advanced adenocarcinoma of the lung treated with dasatinib using the RECIST criteria. Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee.22 Changes in only the largest diameter (uni-dimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in the RECIST.
