Tandem Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (PBSCT) After High Dose Paclitaxel Followed by Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, and Etoposide (ICE) for the Treatment of Lung Cancer


OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the response rate of high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous
peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in the treatment of lung cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo stem cell harvesting. Patients receive radiation therapy to
primary site and metastatic sites, if necessary. Patients receive a high dose of paclitaxel
by 24 hour continuous infusion, then stem cells are infused 72 hours later. After a 3-4 week
recovery period, patients receive ifosfamide and carboplatin by daily continuous infusion on
days -7, -6, -5, and -4. Etoposide is administered by continuous infusion twice daily on
days -7, -6, -5, and -4. Stem cells are again infused on day 0. Filgrastim (granulocyte
colony-stimulating factor; G-CSF) begins on day 0. Patients may receive radiotherapy
following recovery from chemotherapy. Patients are followed weekly for the first 6 months,
then periodically for at least 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: This study will accrue 30 patients in 3 years.
