Efficacy and Safety Study of a New Therapeutic Strategy in the Treatment of Extended-Disease Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Induction phase: 100 mg/sqm on days 1-3, for a maximum of 6 cycles (each one of 21 days duration). Intravenous administration. Treatment will continue until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal.

Induction phase: AUC 5 on day 1 for a maximum of 6 cycles (each one of 21 days duration). Intravenous administration. Treatment will continue until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal.

"Induction phase: 7.5 mg/kg on day 1, for a maximum of 6 cycles (each one of 21 days duration). Intravenous administration.~Maintenance phase: 7.5 mg/kg on day 1, for a maximum of 12 cycles (each one of 21 days duration). Intravenous administration.~In both phases, the treatment will continue until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal."

"Induction phase: flat dosing of 1200 mg on day 1, for a maximum of 6 cycles ( each one of 21 days duration). Intravenous administration.~Maintenance phase: flat dosing of 1200 mg on day 1, for a maximum of 12 cycles (each one of 21 days duration). Intravenous administration.~In both phases, the treatment will continue until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal, loss of clinical benefit."
