Abstract

In order to explore non-cisplatin containing regimens for advanced non- small cell lung cancer, Cancer and Leukemia Group B conducted a randomized Phase-II study of two novel combinations, paclitaxel/ifosfamide and vinorelbine/ifosfamide. Both regimens were active with a 38% response rate (95% CI: 24%, 53%) and 31% (95% CI: 18%, 47%), respectively. Median survivals were 8.5 and 7.4 months. Toxicity, mostly neutropenia, was acceptable. These two combinations establish a 'proof of principle' that non-cisplatin containing regimens also have activity in this setting. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
