Irinotecan and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00387660
Lead Sponsor
University of California, Davis
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving irinotecan together with carboplatin works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the response rates in patients with metastatic or recurrent small cell lung cancer treated with irinotecan hydrochloride and carboplatin.

* Determine the median survival of patients treated with this regimen.

* Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior chemotherapy (yes vs no) and disease stage (metastatic vs relapsed).

Patients receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes and carboplatin IV over 15-30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Response RateUp to 36 months

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria for target lesions and assessed by radiographic techniques. Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Median Survival of Patients Treated With This RegimenUp to 36 months

The length of time from the start of treatment that half of the patients in a group of patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive.

Number of Participants With ToxicityUp to 36 months

All adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer InstituteCommon Toxicity Criteria, version 2.0. All 80 patients were assessable for toxicity at least for the first cycle.
