A Study for Reducing Symptom Burden Produced by Chemoradiation Treatment for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer by Minocycline and Armodafinil

The Study Drugs: Armodafinil is designed to prevent excessive sleepiness. Minocycline is an antibiotic. Minocycline has been shown to interrupt cytokine production, which may help to reduce multiple symptoms. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect. Study Groups: If you agree to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the roll of dice) to join 1 of 4 groups. * Group 1 will take armodafinil and a placebo. * Group 2 will take minocycline and a placebo. * Group 3 will take armodafinil and minocycline. * Group 4 will take placebos alone. Neither you nor the study staff you will see in the clinic will know if you are receiving the study drug(s) and/or the placebo(s). However, if needed for your safety, the study staff will be able to find out which study drug you are receiving. If needed, during this study, you may receive standard care by your treating doctors. Study Drug Administration: You will take the study drug(s)/placebos every day for 10 weeks. You should take the drug(s)/placebo(s) with a full glass of water. If you get an upset stomach, take them with food. You will be given pamphlets with more information about how to take the study drugs/placebos. You should bring your study drug/placebo capsules to the clinic every study visit. Completing the Symptom Questionnaire: Throughout the study, you will be asked to complete the symptom questionnaire. You will be asked about symptoms from therapy you may be experiencing and how they may be interfering with your daily activities. The study staff will either meet you during your regular clinic visit or call you at your home at a time that is convenient for you. In the clinic, you will complete the questionnaire by paper and pen, or by entering your answers into an electronic tablet computer. On the phone, study staff will ask you the questions and record your answers on paper or enter them into a computer. You will complete the symptom questionnaire before you begin chemoradiation and then 1 time a week during Weeks 1-16 of the study. The symptom questionnaire will take up to 5 minutes to complete. Study Visits: Before you begin chemoradiation: * You will complete 4 questionnaires about pain and other symptoms, your mood, and your quality of life. Completing all 4 of the questionnaires will take about 15 minutes. * If you are able to become pregnant, you will have a urine pregnancy test. The study staff will give you the pregnancy test kit at your scheduled visit, and will review and record the results of the test before you can pick up the study drugs from the pharmacy. The pregnancy test will be repeated at weeks 1, 4, 7, and 12 (or at the first follow-up clinic visit post-treatment) and 30 days after the study drugs are stopped . During the last week of chemoradiation (about Week 7): -You will complete 3 questionnaires about your symptoms, mood, and quality of life. These questionnaires will take about 10 minutes total to complete. After about Week 7, the study staff will call you 1 time a week to check on you until Week 10. This phone call should last only a few minutes. If you have had several side effects from chemoradiation, this phone call may take longer. About Week 12 (or at the first routine follow-up clinic visit post-treatment): * You will complete the 3 questionnaires about your symptoms, mood, and quality of life. * If you were smoking at the beginning of the study, you will complete a questionnaire that asks if you stopped smoking any time during the study. This will take a few minutes to complete. * You will be asked to complete another questionnaire that asks about your satisfaction with the study drug(s). This will take a few minutes. Length of Study: You will be on study for about 16 weeks. You will take the study drug(s) for 10 weeks and complete the symptom survey until Week 16. You will be taken off study early if you have intolerable side effects. This is an investigational study. Armodafinil is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of excessive sleepiness. Minocycline is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of bacterial infections. The use of these drugs to help reduce chemoradiation symptoms is investigational. Up to 12 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
