Randomized Phase III Trial of Cisplatin and Irinotecan (NSC-616348) Versus Cisplatin and Etoposide in Patients With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (E-SCLC)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating cisplatin, etoposide, and 1 other intervention for Lung Cancer. Completed, enrolled 671 participants across 408 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether cisplatin combined with irinotecan is more effective than cisplatin combined with etoposide in treating extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of cisplatin combined with either irinotecan or etoposide in treating patients who have extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
