Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of topotecan and paclitaxel in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory small cell lung cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the toxicity of combination topotecan and paclitaxel in previously treated patients with small cell lung cancer.

- Determine the response rate and survival in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to length of time since prior treatment (less than 3 months (stratum A) vs 3 months or more (stratum B)). Stratum A closed to accrual effective 06/20/2000.

Patients receive topotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3 and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 3. Courses repeat every 4 weeks.

Patients who achieve partial response or stable disease continue treatment in the absence of complete response or disease progression. Patients who develop disease progression in the CNS only should receive whole brain radiotherapy and then continue treatment. Patients who achieve complete remission receive a maximum of 6 courses of treatment. Patients may then undergo prophylactic cranial irradiation and/or thoracic radiotherapy at the discretion at the attending physician.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then at 3 years after study. ;
