Trial Information

Phase II Trial Of Karenitecin (IND 57250) In Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-small Cell Lung Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the response rate and duration of response in patients with relapsed or
refractory non-small cell lung cancer treated with karenitecin as salvage chemotherapy.

- Determine the effect of prior response to chemotherapy on response to this drug in
these patients.

- Determine survival and failure-free survival of patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to response to prior chemotherapy (relapsed vs
refractory).

Patients receive karenitecin IV over 60 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days
for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients
with responding disease after 6 courses may receive 2 additional courses beyond best
response.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 45 patients (25 for stratum I and 20 for stratum II) will be
accrued for this study within 12 months.
