Twenty patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer were treated with a combination chemotherapy consisting of ifosfamide (IFX), cisplatin (CDDP) and vindesine (VDS). The treatment schedule was IFX 1.3 g/m2 i.v., on days 1-5, CDDP 20 mg/m2 i.v., on days 1-5, and VDS 3 mg/m2 i.v., on days 1 & 8, and, in principle, the regimen was repeated every 4 weeks. Of 19 evaluable patients, there were 1 CR, 7 PR, 10 NC and 1 PD, with an overall response rate of 42.1%. The median duration of responses was 7.45 months, and the median survival time of all patients was 13.2 months. The major toxicities occurring were hematologic toxicity, alopecia, gastrointestinal toxicity and peripheral neuropathy. Hematologic toxicity was severe and was judged to be dose limiting, but clinically manageable. These results indicate that this combination chemotherapy is active against non-small cell lung cancer and deserves further studies.
