Brief summary
This clinical trial involves the administration of the chemotherapeutic medication vinflunine. Vinflunine is not approved by the FDA and is experimental in the treatment of extensive small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this research trial is to study the effectiveness of vinflunine in patients with relapsed extensive small cell lung cancer, evaluate the toxicity, and evaluate how long the response to this drug lasts.
Detailed description
Eligible patients will receive vinflunine as a 15-20 minute intravenous (IV)infusion once every three weeks (21 days). This three week treatment period is called a cycle. Patients whose cancer has not grown or if it has decreased in size may receive up to 6 cycles of vinflunine. Evaluation will be conducted every other cycle.
Interventions
320mg/m2 every 21 days as a 15-20 minute infusion

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment | 18 months | 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. The final response criteria assigned represented the best response obtained during treatment. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Duration of Response, the Length of Time, in Months, That Protocol Treatment Produced an Objective Improvement in Patients' Disease | 18 months | The Response Duration was calculated from time of initial measured response to date of first observation of progressive disease. |
| Overall Survival (OS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Death | 18 months | Overall survival was measured from the date of study entry until the date of death. |
| Progression Free Survival (PFS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Worsening of Their Disease | 18 months | Progression free survival was defined as the interval between the start date of treatment and the date of occurrence of progressive disease or death. |

Outcome results
Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment
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. The final response criteria assigned represented the best response obtained during treatment.
Time frame: 18 months
Population: All patients were assessed for response.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Vinflunine | Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment | 19.6 percentage of participants |
Duration of Response, the Length of Time, in Months, That Protocol Treatment Produced an Objective Improvement in Patients' Disease
The Response Duration was calculated from time of initial measured response to date of first observation of progressive disease.
Time frame: 18 months
Population: All patients were assessed for response. Only patients with objective response were analyzed for response duration.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEDIAN) |
|---|---|---|
| Vinflunine | Duration of Response, the Length of Time, in Months, That Protocol Treatment Produced an Objective Improvement in Patients' Disease | 2.7 Months |
Overall Survival (OS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Death
Overall survival was measured from the date of study entry until the date of death.
Time frame: 18 months

Progression Free Survival (PFS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Worsening of Their Disease
Progression free survival was defined as the interval between the start date of treatment and the date of occurrence of progressive disease or death.
Time frame: 18 months
Population: All patients were assessed for progression free survival.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEDIAN) |
