The main objective of this study was to determine the overall response rate of patients treated with at least 2 cycles of topotecan and docetaxel. The secondary objectives were to determine the feasibility and toxicities of this combination. The final secondary objective is overall survival for patients that received 2 or more cycles.~Methods: Eligible pts with recurrent small cell lung cancer had to be at least 3 months from initial treatment. Pts received Docetaxel 30 mg/m2 IV followed by Topotecan 3 mg/m2 IV Days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle. Disease assessment was done every 2 cycles. Toxicity was measured each cycle.
The purposes of this study are:~To determine the overall response rate of patients treated with at least 2 cycles of this regimen.~To determine the feasibility and toxicity of the combination of topotecan and docetaxel.
