J.M. Morere, L. Israel, A. Brunet, C. Eoaxix, J.L. Breau. Clinique d’fhrcologie Medicale, H6pital Avicenne, Bobigny, France. 29 patients with unresectable NSCLC received a first line regimen of IFX 2 g/m*/day, plus mesna I,5 g/ma/day, day 1 to day 3, and NVE 25 mg/m*/day, day 1 and day 8. One course was done every 3 weeks. Leucocyte and platelets count were obtained weekly. IFN and NVB were reduced by 20 96 in case of myelosuppmasion. Reponse was assessed after 2 courses. Patients characteristics included : age 65 years (38-73) ; ECQG performance status (PS) PSI : 16 ; PS2 : 11 ; PSO:3;stageIIIa:l;stageIIIb:17;stageIV:12.1patientwas not evaluated for response due to poor compliance. 10 partial responses were achieved (34 96). Median number of treatment cycles was 4 (1-16). ECOG grade 3 or 4 leucopenia occurred in 6/29 patients (20 96). 1 patient died in neutmpenia. Non hematologic toxicity consisted of alopecia : 20 96 ; bronchospasm : 1, myalgia : 1 ; encephalopatby : 1 ; cutaneous reaction : 1. IFX plus NVR is effective in NSCLC. Due to its lack of renal toxicity it is feasible when a platinum-based therapy is not possible. 115 438 A PHASE I STUDY OF NAVELBINE (NM) - CARBOPLATIN ICBDCAl COMBINATION IN NON SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC). P. Jacoulet. JL. Breton. 0. Gamier. V. West~l. A. Dwierre. Beran~on-&ort, FRANCE. In NSCLC, NVB is a new promising agent with a high objective response rate (OR) in phase II studies (29 %, 95 Cl : 20-38 %I. Its dose limiting toxicity is nrutropania. In a phase Ill study (ECCO 7, 1993, A881). NV8 + Cisplatin, compared to NVB alone, shown a significantly higher OR rate with no gain on survival. This could be explained by a greater toxicity of the combination. Particularly, 32 % of patients who achieved OR, discontinued their treatment during the response. In order to decrease the combination toxicitY, we initiated a phase I study of NVB-CBDCA to find the optimal dose of CBDCA with a standard dose of NVB (30 mg/m’ , D,-D,, q3wl. Eligibility criteria were as follows : histologically proved NSCLC, no previous treatment, stage lllb and IV, with at least one measurable lesion. Asympto- matic brain metastasis could be included ; patients had to be 5 75 years old with a PS <_ 3.

Vinorelbine (VRL), a new semisyntbetic vinea alkaloid, has been claimed to be a very active drug in NSCLC with 30% reapcmse mte in a phase 11 trial (ASCO 88 vol 7, 778) but lower frequencies in phase III trials ran ’ g from 12% to 17% (ASCO 93, 1138, 1148). Between April 9 ?r and August 93, 72 NSCLC treatment-naive patients @a) were entered in the present trial to receive VRL iv 30 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks (w) for 6 or mom c cles (cy) in responding pts.
