Brief summary
The primary endpoint is to compare the PFS (progress-free survival ) of etoposide plus carboplatin with paclitaxel combined with carboplatin as first-line treatment for advanced pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.
Detailed description
The primary endpoint is to compare the PFS (progress-free survival ) of etoposide plus carboplatin with paclitaxel combined with carboplatin as first-line treatment for advanced pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. In addition, gene spectrum detection and Mini-PDX are applied for validation of pharmacodynamic. Results of clinical trials and pharmacodynamic test will be analyzed to provide evidence for the precise treatment for LCNEC.
Interventions
etoposide is administered by venus with a dose of 100mg/m2 from day 1 to3, and carboplatin is administered by venus with a dose of AUC 5 on day 1 in a 21-day cycle.
Paclitaxel is administered by venus with a dose of 175 mg/m2 from day 1 and carboplatin is administered by venus with a dose of AUC 5 on day 1 in a 21-day cycle.
