Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as paclitaxel and carboplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Nitroglycerin may help carboplatin and paclitaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs

PURPOSE This phase II randomized trial is studying how well giving nitroglycerin together with paclitaxel and carboplatin works and compares it to giving paclitaxel and carboplatin alone in treating patients with previously untreated stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

To evaluate tumor response rate and safety of nitroglycerin as a potentiator of anticancer combination therapy comprising paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with previously untreated stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer

OUTLINE This is a multicenter randomized controlled study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive nitroglycerin paclitaxel and carboplatin
Arm II Patients receive paclitaxel and carboplatin In both arms treatment continues for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
