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, such as VNP40101M, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well VNP40101M works in treating patients with recurrent or refractory locally advanced or metastatic 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 overall response rate (partial and complete) in patients with relapsed or refractory locally advanced or metastatic small cell lung cancer treated with VNP40101M.
* Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease state (sensitive relapse \[progressive disease \> 3 months after responding to first-line chemotherapy\] vs resistant disease \[progressive disease during or ≤ 3 months after first-line chemotherapy\]).

Patients receive VNP40101M IV over 15-30 minutes once weekly for 3 weeks. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 6 courses. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) receive 2 additional courses of therapy after CR.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 18 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 87 patients will be accrued for this study.
