Brief Summary

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

The Phase I portion of this protocol will determine the best phase II dose and schedule of obatoclax with carboplatin and etoposide in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The Phase II portion will evaluate the response rate to this regimen.

Detailed Description

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

In the Phase I portion, both 3 hour and 24 hour infusions of obatoclax with carboplatin and etoposide every 3 weeks will be evaluated at different doses. In the Phase II portion, 3 hour infusions of obatoclax with or without carboplatin and etoposide every three weeks will be evaluated for response rates.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Phase I:

* Pathological or cytological confirmation of SCLC
* ES-SCLC
* Measurable disease using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) with at least one lesion ≥2.0 cm using conventional technique or ≥1.0 cm with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan in a single dimension
* No previous chemotherapy

* Negative serum or urine pregnancy test result prior to study entry. In addition, women of child-bearing potential and men with partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use acceptable forms of birth control (those that result in less than 1% pregnancy/year when used correctly: implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs, vasectomy of a male partner, sexual abstinence)
