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 bendamustine, 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 bendamustine works as second- or third-line therapy in treating patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

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

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* To determine the time to progression in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer treated with second- or third-line bendamustine.

Secondary

* To determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
* To determine the response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive bendamustine IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6-8 weeks.
