Scientific titlePhase I study of irinotecan and cisplatin with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy in patients with limited-disease small cell lung cancer
Study objectivesThe aim of the study is to determine the Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) and Maximum-Tolerated Dose (MTD) of irinotecan and cisplatin with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy in patients with Limited-Disease Small Call Lung Cancer (LD-SCLC) at a once every three weeks schedule.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Ethical board of the Erasmus MC on the 18th April 2003 (ref: MEC 216.449/2002/180).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLimited-Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (LD-SCLC)
InterventionPatients were treated at day one of three-weekly cycles one and four with irinotecan and cisplatin (340 mg and 135 mg, respectively).

A dose-escalation schedule of irinotecan (100, 120, 140, 150 mg) and cisplatin (100 mg) at day one of cycles two and three with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (total dose 45 Gy) was performed. At each dose level three patients were included.

Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) was defined as one patient in any cohort having any of the following toxicities during cycle two and three (with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy):
1. Grade III/IV non-haematological toxicity despite adequate medication (excluding grade III/IV nausea and vomiting)
2. Grade IV neutropenia lasting for more than five days or complicated by fever and/or platelets less than 25 x 10^9/L, or
3. Grade IV oesophagitis or grade III oesophagitis lasting for more than two weeks

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) was defined as two or more patients in any cohort experiencing DLT.

The aim of the study is to determine the DLT and MTD of irinotecan and cisplatin with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy in patients with LD-SCLC in a once every three weeks schedule.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)
