Brief Title: Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
Official Title: Phase I Study of Irinotecan and Cisplatin in Combination With Twice Daily Thoracic Radiotherapy (45 Gy) or Once Daily Thoracic Radiotherapy (70 Gy) for Patients With Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
Study ID: NCT00059761
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effect on the body when combining irinotecan and cisplatin with radiation therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer that could not be completely removed during surgery.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: * Determine the maximum tolerated dose of irinotecan administered with cisplatin and thoracic radiotherapy (given at two different schedules) in patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer. * Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity and non-dose-limiting toxicity of these regimens in these patients. * Determine the reversibility of all toxic effects associated with these regimens in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, dose-escalation study of irinotecan. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 radiotherapy (RT) treatment groups. * Radiotherapy: * Group I: Patients undergo thoracic RT twice daily, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. * Group II: Patients undergo thoracic RT once daily, 5 days a week, for 7 weeks. * Concurrent chemotherapy: Patients receive irinotecan IV over 60-90 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 1 course for group I and 2 courses for group II. * Post RT chemotherapy: Patients receive irinotecan and cisplatin as above for 3 courses for group I and 2 courses, beginning after RT is complete, for group II. Sequential cohorts of 6 patients per group receive escalating doses of irinotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then 6 months for 4 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-36 patients (6-18 per group) will be accrued for this study within 18 months.
