Study Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of iloprost compared with a placebo in preventing lung cancer in former smokers. Chemoprevention is the use of drugs to keep cancer from forming or coming back. Inhaled iloprost may help prevent lung cancer from forming in patients who used to smoke and who have been found to have abnormal cells in their mucus.

Primary Outcome

Will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation \[SD\], median, max, min and range) will be provided for toxicity. Approximate 95% confidence intervals will be used to assess the difference between treatment groups.
