Twenty-four patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung were treated with a combination of vinblastine, 5 mg/m2 iv on Day 1; adriamycin, 40 mg/m2 iv on Day 1; and procarbazine, 100 mg/m2 orally on Days 1-7. The courses were repeated every 21 days. Tumor regression was noted in five of eight previously untreated patients, in two of six patients with previous chemotherapy, and in one of ten patients with previous chemotherapy and irradiation. The median duration of response was 130 days (range, 42-488+ days). The major toxic effects were bone marrow depression, gastrointestinal disturbances, and alopecia. This drug combination deserves consideration for inclusion into sequential combination chemotherapy regimens used in the treatment of this tumor type.
