Irinotecan (CPT-11) and carboplatin have broad anti-tumor activities. We conducted a Phase I study of CPT-11 combined with carboplatin in previously untreated solid cancers, especially advanced lung cancer. The aim of the study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose-limiting toxicities in this regimen. In addition, we prospectively evaluated the Chatelut formula for predicting carboplatin clearance. Patients with advanced cancer were treated with CPT-11 (days 1, 8, and 15) and carboplatin (day 1) of a fixed-target area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of 5 mg x min/ml. Carboplatin dose was determined by multiplying the AUC by the clearance predicted using the Chatelut formula. The CPT-11 dose was escalated from 40 mg/m2 to the MTD by 10 mg/m2. A total of 27 patients, 26 lung cancer patients and 1 colon cancer patient, were enrolled in this study. Dose-limiting leukoneutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and diarrhea, including one treatment-related death, were observed at 60 mg/m2 CPT-11, indicating that this level was the MTD. In 11 patients, the actual AUCs of carboplatin almost achieved the target AUC of 5. Fifteen (60%) of 25 evaluable patients showed an objective response, with an 85% response rate [11 of 13 patients (complete response, 31%; partial response, 54%)] in small cell lung cancers and a 36% response rate (4 of 11 patients) in non-small cell lung cancers. Neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and diarrhea were the dose-limiting toxicities in this regimen. CPT-11 (50 mg/m2) under the carboplatin target AUC of 5 using the Chatelut formula was the recommended dose for further Phase II study, and this regimen seems to be active for small cell lung cancer. |
