Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal SN-38, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well liposomal SN-38 works in treating patients with small cell lung cancer.

Conditions

Lung Cancer

Keywords

extensive stage small cell lung cancer; limited stage small cell lung cancer; recurrent small cell lung cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Tumor response measured by number of responses

  Up to 3 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Time to disease progression

  Up to 3 years

• Survival time

  Up to 3 years

• Change in quality of life (QOL) score over time

  Up to 3 years

Study Arms (1)

liposomal SN-38

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive SN-38 liposome IV over 90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete or partial response or patients with stable disease (SD) who were previously treated before study enrollment receive up to 4 additional courses of treatment. Patients with CNS-only disease progression receive whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). After completion of WBRT, these patients also receive up to 4 additional courses of treatment. Patients with disease progression to sites other than the CNS or patients with SD who were previously untreated before study enrollment are removed from the study. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, before each treatment course, and then annually for 3 years. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.
