Lung Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
In this multicenter trial, we plan to evaluate the feasibility and toxicity of initial treatment with irinotecan/carboplatin/radiation therapy, followed by treatment with bevacizumab, in patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer.
Detailed description
Upon determination of eligibility, all patients will be receive: * Irinotecan + Carboplatin + Radiation Therapy + Bevacizumab Patients will receive 4 courses of irinotecan/carboplatin. Radiation therapy will begin concurrently with the third course of chemotherapy. The intervals between chemotherapy courses will be 21 days except for the interval between the third and fourth courses (during radiation therapy), which will be 28 days.
Interventions
50mg/m2 days 1 & 8 each 21-day cycle 1 & 2, 28-day cycle 3 & 4
AUC 5
10mg/kg IV every 2 weeks for 10 doses starting week 16

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2-Year Progression-free Survival (PFS) | 24 months | Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the date of study entry until the date of tumor progression or death. 2-Year PFS is the percentage of patients alive and without progressive disease (PD) 2 years from the date of study entry. |
| Overall Response Rate | 18 month | Overall response rate is the percentage of patients with complete response or partial response per RECIST v.1 Criteria. Complete response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all nontarget lesions for at least 4 weeks. Partial Response (PR) = At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters. |

Overall Response Rate
Overall response rate is the percentage of patients with complete response or partial response per RECIST v.1 Criteria. Complete response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all nontarget lesions for at least 4 weeks. Partial Response (PR) = At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters.
Time frame: 18 month
Population: All patients were evaluated for response by RECIST v. 1 criteria. All patients with major responses had confirmation of response on repeat scans by the same technique(s) 4 weeks (or longer) later.
