Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy with pyrazoloacridine in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Conditions

Lung Cancer

Keywords

recurrent non-small cell lung cancer; stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer; stage IV non-small cell lung cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluate toxicity of pyrazoloacridine.

  Weekly prior to each treatment cycle.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluate the response frequency of pyrazoloacridine.

  After 2 treatment cycles then every 2 months

Study Arms (1)

Pyrazoloacridine

EXPERIMENTAL

Pyrazoloacridine 750 mg/m2 by 3 hour infusion, every 21 day s in the absence of progressive disease or prohibitive toxicity.

Drug: pyrazoloacridine

Interventions

pyrazoloacridine DRUG

Pyrazoloacridine 750 mg/m2 by 3 hour infusion, every 21 day s in the absence of progressive disease or prohibitive toxicity. Depending on the prior cycle toxicity the dose should be escalated, maintained or reduced, utilizing levels: -1, 0 (initial dose level), 1 - Level +1 (820mg/m2); Level 0 (750mg/m2); Level -1 (600mg/m2)

Pyrazoloacridine
