Brief Summary

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

RATIONALE: Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of thalidomide in treating patients who have extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has responded to previous chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

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

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the effect of thalidomide on time to disease progression and survival in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who achieve a complete or partial response to induction chemotherapy.
* Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive oral thalidomide daily beginning 3-4 weeks after completion of induction chemotherapy. Treatment continues for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study within approximately 18 months.
