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.

MeasureTime frameDescription
2-Year Progression-free Survival (PFS)24 monthsProgression-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 Rate18 monthOverall 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.

Patients received carboplatin \[area under the concentration-versus-time curve of 5 intravenously (IV) day 1 every 3 weeks x 4), irinotecan (50mg/m2 IV days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks x 4\], and radiation (1.8 Gy daily to a total of 61.2 Gy beginning with the 3rd cycle). Cycles 3 and 4 were 28 days each; with restaging after 4 cycles. Patients without progressive disease received bevacizumab (10 mg/kg IV every 14 days x 10).
