Brief summary
Evaluation of intravenous Topotecan + Cisplatin as a potential new standard of care in 1st line Small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Topotecan 1 mg/m2 should be administered intravenously over a period of 30 minutes on days 1-5. Then a 30 minute saline flush should be administered followed by the cisplatin on day 5. Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 given as an intravenous infusion at the rate of 1 mg/min on day 5 after topotecan.
Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 given as an intravenous infusion at the rate of 1 mg/min on day 1. Cisplatin should be given simultaneously to post-hydration to ensure a high volume fluid. Etoposide 100 mg/m2 should be administered after cisplatin intravenously over a period not less than 30 minutes on days 1 -3.
