Trial Information

Phase II Study of RFS 2000 in Relapsed NSCLC


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate, time to progression and overall survival of
patients with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer when treated with nitrocamptothecin. II.
Assess the toxicities and pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral nitrocamptothecin daily on days 1-5. Treatment continues
weekly in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed
for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-55 patients will be accrued for this study.
