Phase II Study of Weekly Vinorelbine and Paclitaxel in Elderly Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety and efficacy of a combination of vinorelbine and paclitaxel
administered weekly to elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
II. To assess the response rate of a combination of vinorelbine and paclitaxel administered
weekly to elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
III. To assess the quality of life of elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung
cancer during administration of weekly paclitaxel and vinorelbine.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive vinorelbine tartrate intravenously (IV) over 6-10 minutes and paclitaxel IV
over 1 hour once weekly for 6 weeks. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for up to 2 courses in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and
then every 6 months for 5 years.
