A Phase II Study Of Accelerated High Dose Thoracic Irradiation With Concurrent Chemotherapy For Patients With Limited Small Cell Lung Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the response rate of patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer
treated with cisplatin and etoposide combined with accelerated high-dose thoracic
radiotherapy.

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

- Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity and reversibility of toxicity of
this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for approximately 3 weeks
and then twice daily 5 days a week for approximately 2 weeks (a total of 9 treatment days
during the final 2-week treatment period). Beginning on the first day of radiotherapy,
patients receive cisplatin IV over 2 hours and etoposide IV over 1 hour on day 1 and oral
etoposide once daily on days 2 and 3. Chemotherapy repeats every 3 weeks for up to 4 courses
in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then
annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 71 patients will be accrued for this study within 18 months.
