Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of nab-paclitaxel monotherapy in previously treated advanced or metastatic squamous lung cancer.
Detailed description
Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is a novel, solvent-free, albumin-bound nanoparticle form of paclitaxel designed to avoid problems associated with solvents used in Taxol. And albumin-bound paclitaxel was characterized with high tolerated doses with greater efficacy, and with greater concentration in tumor tissue compared with normal tissues. A multicenter randomized controled trial (coded as CA031) showed that nab-paclitaxel in combination with carboplatin had higher response rate than traditional paclitaxel plus carboplatin, especially in squamous lung cancer. This is a single center, non-randomized, open-label Phase II clinical study to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of nab-paclitaxel monotherapy in previously treated advanced or metastatic squamous lung cancer after failure of platinum-based doublet therapy.
Interventions
Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel is given at 130 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 and 8, every 21 days.
