Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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 and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the complete and overall response rates in patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer treated with induction chemotherapy comprising paclitaxel, topotecan, and etoposide followed by consolidation chemoradiotherapy.
* Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
* Determine the overall and failure-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
* Determine the overall (partial and complete) response rate in patients treated with this induction chemotherapy regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

* Induction therapy: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on days 1 and 22, oral topotecan on days 2-4 and 23-25, and oral etoposide on days 5-7 and 26-28. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily beginning on days 8 and 29 and continuing until blood counts recover.
* Consolidation therapy: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 1 hour on days 43, 64, and 85 and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 43-45, 64-66, and 85-87. Patients undergo radiotherapy daily 5 days per week beginning on day 43 and continuing for 6-7 weeks.

Patients with rapid disease progression discontinue study therapy.

Patients are followed at least every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25-60 patients will be accrued for this study within 10 months.
