Induction Cisplatin/Irinotecan Followed By Combination Carboplatin, Etoposide And Chest Radiotherapy In Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Phase II Study


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the efficacy of cisplatin and irinotecan followed by carboplatin, etoposide,
and radiotherapy, in terms of 2-year survival, in patients with limited stage small
cell lung cancer.

Secondary

- Determine the overall response rate, overall survival, and failure-free survival of
patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the response rate in patients treated with induction therapy comprising
irinotecan and cisplatin.

- Determine the toxicity and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

- Induction therapy: Patients receive cisplatin IV over 60 minutes and irinotecan IV over
90 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

- Consolidation therapy: Immediately after the completion of induction therapy, patients
receive carboplatin IV over 60 minutes on day 1 and etoposide IV over 60 minutes on
days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

- Radiotherapy: Beginning on day 1 of consolidation therapy, patients undergo chest
radiotherapy daily 5 days a week for 6-7 weeks.

After the completion of consolidation therapy, patients who achieve a complete remission or
very good partial remission may undergo prophylactic radiotherapy to the brain.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then
annually for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 75 patients will be accrued for this study within 15-24
months.
