Phase II Trial of 9-Aminocamptothecin (9-AC) Colloidal Dispersion (CD) 120-Hour Continuous Intravenous Infusion in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether aminocamptothecin colloidal dispersion (AC/CD) administered
as a 120 hour weekly infusion is an effective treatment for advanced non-small cell lung
cancer. II. Observe any toxicities associated with this treatment in this patient
population.
OUTLINE: Patients receive a 120 hour continuous infusion of aminocamptothecin colloidal
dispersion (AC/CD) once a week for 2 weeks, followed by 1 week of rest. Patients are
assessed after every 2 courses of therapy. Treatment with aminocamptothecin continues
indefinitely if there is tumor shrinkage or stable disease and no significant toxicity is
experienced. Patients are followed every 3 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 19-36 patients will be accrued for this study.
