Phase II Study of Irinotecan and Carboplatin in Metastatic or Relapsed Small-Cell Lung Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating carboplatin and irinotecan for Lung Cancer. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving irinotecan together with carboplatin works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent small cell lung cancer.
