Clinical Trial Summary

Current therapies for Recurrent or Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of Recurrent or Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer.

PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on patients with Recurrent or Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer.


Description:

OVERVIEW: This is a single arm, open-label study in which patients with Recurrent or Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer receive gradually escalating doses of intravenous Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. Treatment continues up to12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

OBJECTIVES:

- To determine the efficacy of Antineoplaston therapy in patients with Recurrent or Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, as measured by an objective response to therapy (complete response, partial response or stable disease).

- To determine the safety and tolerance of Antineoplaston therapy in patients with Recurrent or Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer.

- To determine objective response, tumor size is measured utilizing MRI scans, which are performed every 8 weeks for the first two years, every 3 months for the third and fourth years, every 6 months for the 5th and sixth years, and annually thereafter.

Intervention

Drug:
Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal)
Patients with Recurrent or Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer will receive Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal). The daily doses of A10 and AS2-1 are divided into six infusions, which are given at 4-hourly intervals. Each infusion starts with infusion of A10 and is immediately followed by infusion of AS2-1.
