Phase II study of 5-day continuous infusion ofcis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer

Abstract: cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) was given as a single agent at a dose of 25 mg/m2 daily for 5 days by continuous infusion; treatment was repeated every 4 weeks in 30 previously untreated patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The median age of the patients was 61 years; 13 patients had limited disease and 17, extensive disease. The overall response rate was 40% (12/30; 95% confidence limits, 23-58%), with a median survival of 8 months. Vomiting was observed in 37% of patients; eleva… Show more

“…In these patients, stomatitis especially was more severe in the daily continuous infusion. Several investigators have reported that GI toxicities in prolonged infusion of CDDP, as a single agent, were equal to or less than those in single short-term infusion (7)(8)(9)(10). The results of these investigations are different from ours.…”

“…However, the administration schedule of CDDP is still controversial. When CDDP is used as a single agent, currently used administration schedules of CDDP are single short-term infusion (6), daily short-term infusion (6) and daily continuous infusion (7)(8)(9)(10). The most common administration schedule of CDDP is single short-term infusion, followed by daily short-term infusion.…”

“…Weekly administration and an intravenous CI schedule for several agents may improve efficacy and decrease toxicity, compared with the use of conventional i.v. bolus injections (Jacobs et al, 1978;Carlson and Sikic, 1983;Vogelzang, 1984;Saito et al, 1990;Miles et al, 1991). For some drugs, conventional intermittent scheduling every 3-4 weeks may be inferior to alternative means of drug delivery (O'Dwyer and Comis, 1989).…”

“…Three hours after completion of the docetaxel infusion, 20 mg/m 2 of cisplatin was given daily for 5 days by continuous intravenous infusion. One third of the daily dose was administered every 8 h dissolved in 800 ml of physiological saline [14] . The course was repeated every 4 weeks.…”

“…However, compared with short-term intravenous infusion, 5-day continuous infusion makes inpatient hospitalization for at least 5 days necessary, and the duration of confi nement for the purpose of infusion is lengthy and therefore onerous for the patient. The effi cacy and safety of a continuous infusion lasting 5 days (24 h a day) were confi rmed in our facility and some other facilities [10,[14][15][16] . In addition, combination chemotherapy of infusional CDDP with vindesine or CPT-11 was found to have high response rates in treating NSCLC [17,18] .…”
