A phase II multicentre study of a 3-week schedule of irinotecan (CPT-11) and cisplatin providing the highest recommended dose intensity of both agents in combination, was conducted in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Seventy-four stage IIIB (not suitable for radiotherapy) or stage IV NSCLC patients were enrolled to receive CPT-11 200 mg/m(2) i.v. and cisplatin 80 mg/m(2) i.v. on day 1 every 3 weeks. Relative dose-intensities for CPT-11 and cisplatin were 92 and 95%, respectively. No complete responses were observed. Twenty-five patients out of 73 obtained a partial response (34.2%). Partial responses were confirmed in 18 patients (24.7%: 95% CI, 15.3-36.1%). Median survival overall was 8.2 months, 9.7 months for patients with baseline performance status (PS) 0 and 1, and 4 months for patients with PS 2. The 1-year survival rate was 31%. Major clinical toxicities were grade 3 and 4 delayed diarrhoea (29% of patients) and febrile neutropenia (14% of patients). In conclusion, the present once-every-3-week schedule of CPT-11 and cisplatin is feasible and active in PS 0-1 advanced NSCLC patients, but results do not seem superior to those reported with other schedules.
