Paclitaxel plus carboplatin in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: a phase II trial.

Abstract: Paclitaxel plus carboplatin is a moderately active regimen in patients with advanced NSCLC and warrants comparison with existing cisplatin-based regimens in a prospective randomized trial. The toxicities of this regimen are well tolerated in patients with a good PS.

“…As a consequence, carboplatin was selected (Bunn et al, 1994;Langer et al, 1995;Muggia et al, 1995;Belani et al, 1996;Johnson et al, 1996;Choy et al, 2000;Schiller et al, 2002).…”

“…In a recent survey, a carboplatin-containing combination was found to be the most widely favoured option for first-line chemotherapy in all stages of NSCLC among US medical oncologists (Choy et al, 2000). This relates to ease of administration on an out-patient basis, manageable toxicity profiles compared with other platinumcontaining regimens and promising phase II trial results (Langer et al, 1995;Muggia et al, 1995;Belani et al, 1996;Johnson et al, 1996).…”

“…Pirker et al (1995) (1998) 78(2), [251][252][253][254][255][256] carboplatin in 53 patients with advanced NSCLC. In contrast, Johnson et al (1996) used the same paclitaxel and carboplatin combination and obtained a relatively disappointing response rate of 27%, a median survival time of 38 weeks, and a 1-year survival of 32% in patients with stage IV NSCLC. Prospective randomized trials that compare these new combination regimens with an existing cisplatin-containing regimen are necessary to determine whether or not these new agents will truly improve therapeutic options for patients with advanced NSCLC.…”

“…Carboplatin has demonstrated activity in a number of solid tumors, including ovarian and lung cancer and is now widely utilized. 4,5 Carboplatin does not produce the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin, and is associated with less neurotoxicity than cisplatin. Its major toxicity is myelosuppression, unlike cisplatin.…”
