ABSTRACT
Advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains an incurable disease despite significant progress in chemotherapy. We conducted a phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of a cisplatin, etoposide, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combination in advanced metastatic and/or recurrent NSCLC. Forty patients with advanced, recurrent, or metastatic, measurable NSCLC were treated with cisplatin, 60 mg/m2 intravenously (i.v.) on day 1; etoposide, 120 mg/m2/day i.v. on days 1, 2, and 3; and 5-FU. 1,000 mg/m2/day i.v. continuous infusion on days 1 through 5. Treatment was administered in 4-week cycles. Thirty patients had distant metastases and were previously untreated, and 10 patients had recurrent disease after prior treatment with either surgery (1 patient), radiation therapy (5 patients), or both treatments (4 patients). Twenty-nine patients were evaluable for response. Seven (24%) patients achieved a partial remission (PR), 18 (62%) had stable disease (SD), and 8 (14%) had progressive disease (PD). Overall median survival was 7.9 months (range, 0.4-27.4 months). Patients who achieved a PR had a median survival of 23.5 months (9.3-27.4 months). In contrast, patients with SD had a median survival of 9.9 months (2.5-25.3 months), and patients with PD had a median survival of 2.1 months (1-9.3 months). Median duration of response of 27.1 weeks (4.9-76.5 weeks) for patients with PR, and time to progression was 13.4 weeks (3.7-54.5 weeks) for patients with SD. Toxicity was primarily hematologic and gastrointestinal, and there were three deaths due to infection. The combination of cisplatin, 5-FU, and etoposide as administered in this study appears to have considerable toxicity and does not appear to be superior to other cisplatin-containing regimens used for the treatment of advanced NSCLC.
