Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to describe the activity and toxicity of gemcitabine combined with four different drugs (carboplatin or cisplatin or etoposide or vinorelbine) as first line treatment of elderly patients with extensive small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

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

Four treatment arms are planned.

* GEMVIN: gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 on days 1 \& 8, every 21 days
* GEMCAR: gemcitabine 1000 on days 1 \& 8 and carboplatin AUC 3.5 or 4 or 4.5 on day 1, every 21 days
* GEMCIS: gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 \& 8 and cisplatin 50 or 60 or 70 mg/m2 on day 1, every 21 days
* GEMETO: gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 \& 8 and etoposide 60 or 70 or 80 mg/m2 on days 1,2,3 every 21 days

For the study of the GEMVIN combination a two-stage minimax flexible design will be applied. For the remaining 3 combinations (GEMCAR, GEMCIS, GEMETO) a phase 1/2 design aimed at looking for optimal dose within a Bayesian framework will be applied.
