Phase II Study of Carboplatin, Irinotecan, and Thalidomide in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the response rate and duration of response in patients with stage IIIB or IV
non-small cell lung cancer treated with carboplatin, irinotecan, and thalidomide.

- Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this
regimen.

- Evaluate the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and irinotecan IV over 90
minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or responsive disease receive up to 6 courses
of therapy. Patients also receive oral thalidomide once daily beginning on day 1 and
continuing until disease progression.

Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression and then every 6 months
thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 39-70 patients will be accrued for this study within 14
months.
