Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy plus topotecan in treating patients who have non-small cell lung cancer.

Phase I |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Treatment |
| Official Title: | A PHASE I STUDY OF PROLONGED LOW-DOSE TOPOTECAN INFUSION COMBINED WITH CHEST IRRADIATION |
| Study Start Date: | September 1993 |
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of topotecan and chest irradiation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. II. Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine the degree of antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of topotecan and thoracic radiotherapy. Beginning on day 1, patients receive topotecan IV continuously for 3-6 weeks and thoracic radiotherapy 5 days a week for 2, 3, or 6 weeks. Cohorts of 4-6 patients receive escalating doses of topotecan and thoracic radiotherapy until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of each therapy is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 4 or 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Six additional patients are treated at the MTD. Patients who fail to achieve complete remission (CR) and continue to have measurable disease at 4-6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy receive topotecan IV continuously on days 1-21 at 1 dose level preceding the MTD as determined by the ongoing Protocol NYU-9123. Treatment continues every 4 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 10-20 patients will be accrued within 8-12 months.
