Phase II Study Of BBR 3464 As Treatment In Patients With Sensitive Or Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer After One Prior Chemotherapy Regimen


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of BBR 3464 in terms of response rate in patients with
sensitive or refractory metastatic small cell lung cancer. II. Determine the duration of
response and time to progression in patients treated with this drug. III. Determine the
overall survival of patients treated with this drug. IV. Determine the incidence and
severity of toxic effects of this drug in this patient population. V. Determine the
pharmacokinetics of this drug in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease
(refractory vs sensitive). Patients receive BBR 3464 IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment
repeats every 21 days for at least 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity. Patients with complete or partial response or stable disease may
receive up to 6 courses of therapy. Patients without progressive disease after 6 courses may
continue treatment at the investigator's discretion. Patients are followed every 9 weeks for
3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24-74 patients (12-37 per stratum) will be accrued for this
study.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic small cell
lung cancer (SCLC) Must have sensitive or refractory disease after first-line chemotherapy

hormonal therapy for SCLC and recovered No concurrent steroids for brain metastasis No
concurrent hormonal therapy Radiotherapy: See Disease Characteristics At least 2 weeks
since prior radiotherapy and recovered No concurrent radiotherapy except palliative local
radiotherapy for non-target lesions Surgery: At least 4 weeks since prior major surgery
and recovered Other: At least 30 days since prior investigational drugs and recovered No
other concurrent anti-cancer therapy No other concurrent investigational drugs
