Abstract
Quantitative assessments of tumor burden and modeling of longitudinal growth could improve phase II oncology trials. To identify obstacles to wider use of quantitative measures we obtained recorded linear tumor measurements from three published lung cancer trials. Model-based parameters of tumor burden change were estimated and compared with similarly sized samples from separate trials. Time-to-tumor growth (TTG) was computed from measurements recorded on case report forms and a second radiologist blinded to the form data. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)-based progression-free survival (PFS) measures were perfectly concordant between the original forms data and the blinded radiologist re-evaluation (intraclass correlation coefficient = 1), but these routine interrater differences in the identification and measurement of target lesions were associated with an average 18-week delay (range, -20 to 55 weeks) in TTG (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.32). To exploit computational metrics for improving statistical power in small clinical trials will require increased precision of tumor burden assessments.

Abstract
To complement the existing treatment guidelines for all tumour types, ESMO organises consensus conferences to focus on specific issues in each type of tumour. The Second ESMO Consensus Conference on Lung Cancer was held on 11-12 May 2013 in Lugano. A total of 35 experts met to address several questions on management of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in each of four areas: pathology and molecular biomarkers, early stage disease, locally advanced disease and advanced (metastatic) disease. For each question, recommendations were made including reference to the grade of recommendation and level of evidence. This consensus paper focuses on recommendations for pathology and molecular biomarkers in relation to the diagnosis of lung cancer, primarily non-small-cell carcinomas.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Lapatinib has been previously shown to markedly decrease cancer stem cells (CSC) in HER2−positive breast cancer. In preclinical models, we have demonstrated that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) such as vorinostat can induce differentiation and decrease CSC. The combination of vorinostat and lapatinib is synergistic with a combination index of 0.32 (synergism if CI <1). We therefore undertook a pilot study to evaluate the combination of these two drugs in advanced solid tumors.
Method: Patients were eligible if they were: age ≥ 18 years with incurable solid tumors, ECOG PS 0–2, adequate organ function, and no prior exposure to HDACi. The first 3 patients received lapatinib at the dose of 1,250 mg continuous daily and vorinostat 300 mg 4 days on 3 days off. The second dose level with lapatinib 1,250 mg continuous daily and vorinostat 400 mg 4 days on 3 days off were administered in 6 patients. Cycles were repeated every 21 days until disease progression. Echocardiogram and radiologic evaluation were performed every 12 weeks. During the first cycle, pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation was performed on days 18 and 21.
Results: Nine consented patients (7 with metastatic breast cancer, 1 with non-small cell lung cancer, and 1 with thyroid cancer) have been enrolled with the median age of 52 (range 25–66). Patients received an average of 6 prior treatments (range 2–10). No dose limiting toxicity or drug related death have been observed. Grade 1–2 toxicities including diarrhea, fatigue, muscle cramps and stomatitis were observed. No grade 3 or 4 hepatic, renal or cardiac toxicity were observed (including no QTc prolongation and no significant reduction in the left ventricular ejection fraction). Patients have received the maximum of 7 cycles (median 3 cycles, range 2–7). Response: as of June 2011, 2 patients are still on treatment. Two patients achieved stable disease (triple negative metastatic breast cancer and HER2−positive breast cancer), 6 patients with progressive disease, and 1 patient is too early to evaluate for response. PK analysis will be presented at the time of the meeting.
Conclusions: The combination of vorinostat and lapatinib is tolerable and has some antitumor activity in heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors. A phase II study in HER2−positive metastatic breast cancer is underway with lapatinib 1,250 mg continuous daily and vorinostat 400 mg 4 days on 3 days off.

Abstract
LBA7005 Background: In meta-analyses, platinum-based adjuvant (adj) chemotherapy (CT) in completely resected NSCLC increased cure rate by ∼5%. At BR.19 initiation, adj study results with third-generation agents were unavailable. Gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, showed activity in monotherapy trials. We report a trial of adj gefitinib versus placebo after complete resection of NSCLC. Methods: Patients (pts) with stage IB-IIIA NSCLC were stratified by sex, stage, histology, post-op radiation, and after Jan 2003, adj CT. Pts were randomized to gefitinib 250 mg or placebo daily x 2 years. Study endpoints included overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), toxicity, preplanned correlative studies. Study closed prematurely in Apr. 2005. Trial committee and NCIC CTG staff remained blinded to study drug. Results: 503 pts randomized (Sep 2002-Apr 2005); median age 67, males 54%, PS 0 54%; stage IB 49%, II 38%, III 13%; adenocarcinoma 59%, squamous 28%; ever smokers 89%; adj CT 17%; lobectomy 82%. Commonest grade 3/4 toxicities = fatigue 5%, rash 4% and diarrhea 5%. grade 3+ pneumonitis in 7 (1.4%) pts and led to death in 1. Median follow-up is 4.7 yrs; median treatment time is 4.8 mos. For gefitinib versus placebo, median DFS is 4.2 yrs versus not yet reached (NYR) HR1.22 (95% C.I. 0.93-1.61), p=0.15 and median OS 5.1 yrs versus NYR HR 1.24 (95% C.I. 0.94-1.64), p=0.14. In multivariate analysis, tumor size >4cm was predictive of poor DFS (p<0.0001) and never smoking for better OS with gefitinib (p=0.02). Results for KRAS and EGFR copy are available on 350 and 348 pts respectively. KRAS mutations were neither prognostic HR 1.12 (95% C.I. 0.67-1.86), p=0.66 nor predictive of gefitinib benefit (p = 0.16) on OS. EGFRcopy whether low/high polysomy or amplification was neither prognostic (p=0.77) nor predictive of OS benefit from gefitinib. Conclusions: Adjuvant gefitinib after complete resection of early stage NSCLC did not confer DFS or OS advantage in overall population. KRAS and EGFR copy were neither prognostic nor predictive of benefit from gefitinib. EGFR mutational analysis will be presented. [Table: see text]

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paclitaxel-carboplatin is used as the standard regimen for patients with advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This trial was designed to compare gemcitabine + carboplatin or gemcitabine + paclitaxel to the standard regimen. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 1135 chemonaive patients with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC were randomly allocated to receive gemcitabine 1000 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8 plus carboplatin area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) 5.5 on day 1 (GC), gemcitabine 1000 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8 plus paclitaxel 200 mg/m(2) on day 1 (GP), or paclitaxel 225 mg/m(2) plus carboplatin AUC 6.0 on day 1 (PC). Stratification was based on disease stage, baseline weight loss, and presence or absence of brain metastases. Cycles were repeated every 21 days for up to six cycles or disease progression. RESULTS Median survival (months) with GC was 7.9 compared with 8.5 for GP and 8.7 for PC. Response rates (RRs) were as follows: GC, 25.3%; GP, 32.1%; and PC, 29.8%. The GC arm was associated with a greater incidence of grade 3 or 4 hematologic events but a lower rate of neurotoxicity and alopecia when compared with GP and PC. CONCLUSIONS Non-platinum and non-paclitaxel gemcitabine-containing doublets demonstrate similar overall survival and RR compared with the standard PC regimen. However, the treatment arms had distinct toxicity profiles.

Abstract
11020 Background: Cytokeratin 19 and its soluble fragment CYFRA have been studied as markers that may correlate with response to therapy and survival in NSCLC. As part of CALGB 30203, a randomized trial of carboplatin/gemcitabine with eicosanoid modulators (celecoxib, zileuton or both) in advanced NSCLC (Edelman JCO 2008), serum CYFRA levels were obtained prior to and during treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible correlation of CYFRA as a predictive and prognostic marker and to confirm a previous finding that a 27% reduction in CYFRA after one cycle (21 days) of treatment correlated with a longer survival (Vollmer Clin Ca Res, 2003). Methods: Paired specimens were available from 88 patients. CYFRA was measured at baseline and after cycles 1 and 2 using an electrochemoluminescent assay (Roche Diagnostics) on the ElecSys 2010 system as previously described. Using logarithm of the initial concentration and logarithm of the difference in concentrations, we analyzed these in relation to overall survival (OS) and failure free survival (FFS). Results: 1. Lower baseline CYFRA levels were associated with both longer overall survival and failure free survival (p = <0.0001 and p=0.0045). 2. Larger reductions in CYFRA levels correlated to longer overall survival and failure-free survival (p=0.0254 and p=0.0298). 3.We failed to replicate that a drop of >27% in CYFRA levels had statistical significance in overall or failure free survival (p=0.6489 and p=0.9636). Conclusions: CYFRA and change in CYFRA appear to be reliable markers in predicting the response to chemotherapy for nonsmall cell lung cancer; however, a precise threshold to mark response has yet to be determined. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
8052 Background: Approximately 50% of lung cancer patients (pts) are ≥ 70 y, however, this population has been historically underrepresented in clinical trials. Even among pts ≥ 70 y, doublet chemotherapy has been shown to be superior to single-agent therapy (Lilenbaum JCO 2005, Sederholm JCO, 2005), and the efficacy and safety of platinum-based chemotherapy doublets in NSCLC pts ≥ 70 years with good PS have been reported to be similar to those in younger pts (Fossella, ASCO 2003, #2528, Kelly, ASCO 2001, A-1313). The current analysis examined whether any differences were present by age in a three arm trial of GC or GP versus a standard regimen of PC. Methods: 1135 chemonaïve pts with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC were randomized to receive: G 1000 mg/m2 d 1,8 plus C AUC 5.5 d 1; or G 1000 mg/m2 d 1,8 plus P 200 mg/m2 d 1; or P 225 mg/m2 plus C AUC 6.0 d 1. Stratification was based on stage, baseline weight loss, and brain metastases. Cycles were repeated every 21 days up to 6 cycles or disease progression. Clinical results were retrospectively analyzed in by patient age. Results: See Table . Conclusions: In this trial of commonly used regimens for advanced NSCLC, pts 70–74 years of age had significantly longer survival than pts 75–79 years of age. Pts 80+ years of age also had lower survival than the 70–74 year age group, but this difference was not statistically significant. No pts 80+ years of age had brain metastases at study entry. There was no clear pattern with respect to the effectiveness of individual treatment regimens by age group. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract
8076 Background: A limited number of randomized phase III studies of advanced or metastatic NSCLC have included a mixed population of patients (pts) with and without BM at presentation. Analyses of pts with lung cancer from the 1970s and 1980s indicated that the incidence of BM at the time of diagnosis was approximately 10%. Methods: 1135 chemonaïve pts with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC were randomized to receive: G 1000 mg/m2 d 1, 8 plus C AUC 5.5 d 1; or G 1000 mg/m2 days 1 and 8 plus P 200 mg/m2 d 1; or P 225 mg/m2 plus C AUC 6.0 d 1. Stratification was based on stage, baseline weight loss, and presence or absence of BM. Cycles were repeated every 21 d up to 6 cycles or disease progression. Pts who developed BM as the only evidence of progression were able to be treated with whole brain radiation and steroids and remained on study. Results were retrospectively analyzed in by presence or absence of BM at study entry. Results: BM rates by subgroup were as follows (%): overall (17.1), nonsquamous (19.3), squamous (6.9), <70 y (21.3), ≥ 70 y (7.1), female (19.2), male (15.7), Caucasian (16.7), African American (18.8%), Hispanic (22.2), PS 0 (12.9), PS 1 (19.7), weight loss <5% (18.3), weight loss ≥ 5% (15.1), and stage IV (19.0). Among pts with (N=194) and without (N=941) BM, response rates=28.9% and 29.1%, median survival = 7.7 mos (95% CI: 6.7, 9.3) and 8.6 mos (95% CI: 7.9, 9.5), and median time to progression = 4.3 mos (95% CI: 3.4, 5.6) and 4.6 mos (95% CI: 4.2, 5.1), respectively. Rates of grade 3 or 4 adverse events were not different among pts with and without BM. Median survival among pts with BM was 7.6 mos for GC (N=66, 95% CI: 6.3, 10.1), 8.2 mos for GP (N=64, 95% CI: 4.6, 10.5), and 7.7 mos for PC (N=64, 95% CI: 6.1, 10.2). Conclusions: 1) The higher incidence of BM (17.1%) observed in this trial may be related to the increasing incidence of adenocarcinoma, or to the increasing sensitivity of imaging modalities. 2) There was no difference in response, time to progression or survival for pts with or w/o BM.

Abstract
11105 Background: ALDH1 is a cytosolic enzyme responsible for oxidizing intracellular aldehydes, and conversion of retinol to retinoic acid in SCs. ALDH1 has been previously demonstrated to be a marker for SCs in breast cancer (Ginestier C, et al., Cell Stem Cell. 2007 Nov; 1(5):555–67). The Aldefluor assay is based on conversion of a synthetic substrate BAAA, when passively infused into cytosol, to brightly fluorescent BAA by ALDH1. Combined with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), it has been used successfully in hematopoietic and breast cancer SCs isolation. ALDH1 is also found in NSCLC. We hypothesized that ALDH1 would be a marker for NSCLC SCs and a potential prognostic marker. Methods: NSCLC SCs were isolated from human NSCLC cell lines using the Aldefluor assay and FACS. ALDH1-positive cells were analyzed extensively for SC characteristics. ALDH1 expression in 303 NSCLC biopsy specimens from three independent cohorts of NSCLC patients was then analyzed by immunohistochemisty (IHC) using an ALDH1 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and commercially available negative controls. Results: Isolated cancer cells with high ALDH1 activity displayed cancer SCs features, including capacities for proliferation, self-renewal, differentiation; resistance to chemotherapeutic agents including cisplatin, vinorelbine, gemcitabine and docetaxel; expression of the SC surface marker CD133, and high invasiveness. ALDH1-positive cells generated tumors in vivo recapitulating heterogeneity of parental cells. Xenograft tumors derived from ALDH1-positive cells (103 each) were 36±2.9 mm3 on average in size, with some of the cells having lost ALDH1 expression. Xenograft tumors derived from ALDH1-negative cells (105 each) were 4 mm3 on average in size, without ALDH1 reactivation. Statistical analysis of quantitative IHC and clinical data showed ALDH1 expression was correlated with higher stage and grade of NSCLC (p = 0.02). Expression of ALDH1 in stage I NSCLC patients was linked to decreased 5 year cancer-specific survival (62% vs. 96%, p = 0.006) and overall survival (32% vs. 72%, p = 0.009). Conclusions: 1. ALDH1 is a NSCLC SC-associated tumor marker. 2. ALDH1 expression is a negative prognostic marker in early stage NSCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
e19007 Background: There are only limited data regarding the use of anti-VEGF therapy in recurrent NSCLC and no data in NSCLC pts previously treated with bevacizumab. We are currently conducting a phase II trial evaluating cediranib, an oral inhibitor of VEGFR 1,2 and 3, and pemetrexed in recurrent NSCLC pts who may or may not have previously received bevacizumab. Methods: Pts with progressive and measurable NSCLC, 1 or 2 prior regimens, PS0–2, all histologic sub-types, BP ≤ 140/90, treated brain metastases are eligible. Pts on anti-coagulants are allowed. Pts with hemorrhage within 4 weeks are excluded. Pts start on cediranib 30mg daily followed 7 days later by pemetrexed at 500 mg/m2 every 21 days and cediranib daily. The study consists of two cohorts- cohort A (no prior bevacizumab) and cohort B (prior bevacizumab). Planned accrual is 37 pts each cohort. Consenting pts will undergo FLT PET scans and blood draw for circulating tumor cells before therapy, 1 week after cediranib, and after 1 cycle of the combination. Results: 33 pts have started therapy, (Cohort A- 20, Cohort B- 13), median age- 60, males- 56%, ever smokers- 88%, adenocarcinoma- 64%, squamous- 12%, brain mets- 27%, 1 prior regimen- 52%, PS0–1- 88%. Median cycles- 4 (range- 0–15). Grade 3/4 toxicities- neutropenia- 7pts, febrile neutropenia- 1pt, fatigue-7pts, diarrhea- 3pts, hypertension- 1pt, anorexia- 2pts, cardiac ischemia- 1pt, bronchopleural fistula- 1pt, esophagitis- 1pt. No major hemorrhage. Of the 17 pts who received cediranib for ≥ 4 cycles, 71% required dose reduction and of the 18 pts who received pemetrexed for ≥ 4 cycles, 22% required dose reduction. 31 pts (Cohort A- 19, Cohort B- 12) are response evaluable. Confirmed response rate is 16%(90% CI- 0.08–0.30) (Cohort A- 10%, Cohort B- 25%) and disease control rate (response+stable disease) is 71% (90% CI-0.56–0.82) (Cohort A- 74%, Cohort B- 67%). 8 of 9 pts who had FLT PET scans had a 20% or greater decline in standard uptake value after 1 week of cediranib alone. Conclusions: Cediranib and pemetrexed combination is tolerable. Efficacy has been observed with the combination in recurrent NSCLC pts, including those previously treated with bevacizumab. Accrual to this trial is ongoing. [Table: see text]

Abstract
7672 Background: Both small cell (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) overexpress somatostatin receptors (SSTR). P2045 peptide is an 11-amino acid somatostatin analogue that binds with high affinity to SSTR. The analogue can be labeled with Tc-99m to gauge receptor prevalence, or with Re-188 for 2.1MeV beta radiotherapy. To evaluate the safety of this approach a phase I dose-escalation study of Re-188 P2045 in SSTR positive lung cancer was performed. Methods: Patients (pts) were required to have progressive advanced lung cancer, PS 0–1, and normal organ function. There were no limitations on the number of prior therapies. Tumor SSTR was detected with Tc-99m P2045. If positive, treatment with escalating doses of Re-188 P2045 was instituted. Three doses were evaluated, 30 mCi/m2, 60 mCi/m2 and 90 mCi/m2. A single dose of Re-188 P2045 was allowed. Dose limiting toxicity was defined as ≥ grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity, grade 4 hematologic toxicity or projected renal radiation dose of >20 Gy. Results: 15 pts entered, 7 M, 8 F, median age 61y, 9-PS0, 6 PS1. 13 NSCLC, 2 SCLC. 14 pts had ≥ 2 prior chemotherapy regimens. 1 pt refused standard therapy. All pts were imaged with Tc-99m P2045, 8 pts received Re-188 P2045. The 7 pts who did not proceed to Re-188 P2045 were due to rapid progression (n=2) non-uptake of Tc 99m P2045 (n=2) or projected renal radiation dose above the 20 Gy limit (n=3). All pts treated with Re-188 P2045 (4 at 30 mCi/m2, 3 at 60 mCi/m2 and 1 at 90 mCi/m2) had NSCLC. The major toxicity was grade 1 or 2 lymphopenia. No dose limiting toxicities were seen. All tumors imaged by Tc-99m had uptake of Re- 188. The trial was halted at the 90 mCi/m2 level when 3 pts had projected renal radiation doses above 20Gy. No responses were seen. 5 of the 8 pts (62.5%, 95% CI: 24%, 91%) had stable disease at 8 weeks, all of whom entered with progressive disease.. Median overall survival was 11.5 mo. Conclusions: 1) Re-188 P2045 was well-tolerated. 2) Tc-99m P2045 imaging allows identification of pts who may benefit from Re-188 P2045. 3) While responses were not seen, survival for these heavily pretreated pts is encouraging. 4) Further exploration of this approach utilizing amino acid infusion to ameliorate potential renal toxicity is warranted. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
7661 Introduction: The role of chemotherapy (Rx) in patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC and poor performance status (PPS) defined as PS = 2 or 3 is unclear. While survival appears to be enhanced, serious toxicity may occur. In addition, no treatment options have been defined for the growing population of pts with HIV infection or post organ transplantation. Based on a prior study (Cancer 2001;92:146–152), we evaluated the efficacy of sequential, dose attenuated GC followed by P in patients with PS=2,3, HIV infection or s/p solid organ transplantation. Patients and Methods: Rx naive patients with PPS and adequate organ function received G: 1,000 mg/m2 d 1,8 C: AUC=5 d 1 q 21d × 2 followed by P 80 mg/m2 q wk × 6 followed by a 2 wk break and then repeated until progression. Results: 47 of a projected 47 pts have been enrolled. Stage IIIb/IV: 8/39, PS 2/3= 26/19, HIV infection=2, solid organ transplantation=2. 12 (25%) had brain metastases. Thirty-nine pts completed two cycles of GC and 29 pts received at least one cycle of P. Overall response rate:19% (95% CI 1.2%-31.7%). Median survival: 5.8 mo. One year survival: 8.4%. Median event free survival: 3.3 months. Toxicity rates for GC: Grade (gr) 3 neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia = 29.8%, 14.9%, 23.4% respectively, gr 4 neutropenia=19% and 10.6% had gr 4 thrombocytopenia. There were 2 gr 1 bleeding episodes, two pts received platelets and 8 pts received red cells. 8.5% had gr 3 fatigue and 10.6% had gr 3 febrile neutropenia, 4.3% had grade 3 nausea, vomiting. Gr 4 nonhematologic toxicities: Thromboembolism = 1 pt (2.1%), Fever = 1 (2.1%). Toxicity rates for P phase: 2.1% had gr 3 neutropenia and anemia. 4.3% had gr 3 neuropathy. There was 1 episode of gr 4 hemoptysis. Two patients received red cells. Conclusions: 1) Sequential GC to P is well tolerated and active in this population. 2) Survival is comparable to that of other regimens utilized in PS = 2 pts with superior tolerability. 3) The prognosis for these pts is very poor even with Rx.4. This is the first trial to prospectively evaluate Rx for pts with HIV disease or organ transplantation and NSCLC. Supported by Bristol Myers Squibb.

Abstract
7025 Background: Increased expression of eicosanoids have been associated with adverse prognosis. Specific inhibitors of key enzymes of two eicosanoid pathways, COX-2 (celecoxib) and 5-LOX (zileuton) have been developed. In vitro, the addition of these inhibitors have demonstrated enhancement of cytotoxic chemotherapy. We hypothesized that the addition of eicosanoid inhibitors to standard chemotherapy of carboplatin (C) and gemcitabine (G) could improve outcome in advanced NSCLC. Methods: Patients (pts) with stage IIIb (pleural effusion)/stage IV NSCLC, PS 0–2, no prior therapy were eligible. All pts received up to six cycles of C AUC 5.5 d1 + G (1000 mg/m2) d1,8. Pts were randomized to three arms: A: Celecoxib (CEL) 400 mg po bid. B: Zileuton (Z) 600 mg qid po, C: CEL and Z at the same doses. CEL and Z were begun on the first day of therapy and continued until progression. In this randomized phase II trial, the objective was to demonstrate a 50% failure free survival (FFS) at 9 months. Serum and tissue samples were required. Results: Between 12/05/03 and 9/30/04, 140 pts were entered and 136 were eligible and treated (A: 44, B: 47, C: 45). M: 86, F: 50; PS 0,1,2 = 38,85,13. Toxicity was primarily hematologic with approximately 70% grade 3/4 toxicity on each arm. Response and survival with 95% CI (see table ). Arm C has superior FFS when compared to combined Arms A+B (p =.054, unstratified log rank test), however, this benefit decreases when adjusted for baseline PS (0 vs, 1,2) and stage (IIIB vs. IV) in a Cox model, p=.15, 2-sided Wald test. There was no difference in terms of OS (p=.96). Serum and tissue were submitted for >90%. Analysis of COX-2 and 5-LOX expression are pending. Conclusions: 1. The combination of C/G + eicosanoid modulators was well tolerated. 2. The trend towards improved FFS in Arm C is intriguing, however, did not achieve the primary endpoint. 3. Correlative studies which may be able to identify pts likely to benefit from this approach are in progress. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract
3026 Background: We sought to determine a tolerable dose and characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of E in patients with HD or RD. Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven solid tumors that commonly express EGFR, refractory to or without available standard therapy, performance status 0–2, and without biliary or renal obstruction were assigned to one of 3 cohorts (C): C1, AST ≥ 3 × ULN but no RD; C2, direct bilirubin 1–7 mg/dl but no RD; C3, creatinine 1.6–5.0 mg/dl but no HD. After slow accrual of 3 patients, an amended C1 for albumin < 2.5 g/dl accrued 3 additional patients. E was administered po daily in groups of at least 3 evaluable patients in escalating doses of 50, 75, 100, 150 mg starting with 50 mg in HD and 75 mg in RD. Patients had to take E for at least 4 weeks to be considered evaluable for toxicity unless dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred sooner. DLT was defined as: grade 4 neutrophils or platelets; bilirubin ≥ 1.5 × baseline in C1/2 and ≥ 2.5 × ULN in C3; creatinine ≥ 2 × ULN in C1/2 and ≥ 2.5 × baseline in C3; grade ≥ 3 nausea,vomiting,diarrhea despite optimal supportive care; or any other grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic toxicity. Blood samples were obtained before and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 24 hrs after the first dose. Plasma E concentrations were measured by HPLC. A 2-compartment PK model was used to estimate total clearance of E. Results: Between 12/01 and 5/05, 55 patients were accrued but 1 never started therapy: male/female, 34/20; white/black, 46/8; median age 56 (range, 39–78); PS 0/1/2, 12/25/17. The distribution of treated/evaluable patients was: 6/5 in C1, 30/16 (attrition due to progressive disease) in C2, and 18/18 in C3. DLT consisted of both total and direct bilirubin ≥ 1.5 × baseline in 3 patients: C1, 1 of 5 at 50 mg; C2, 2 of 6 at 100 mg. In C2, 1 of 7 patients had grade 4 diarrhea/dehydration and grade 3 hypotension at 75 mg. No DLT was encountered in C3 with 12 patients at 150 mg. Clearance (mean ± SD) was cohort-dependent: 1.51 ± 0.64 (C1), 2.36 ± 1.17 (C2), 4.34 ± 2.53 (C3) l/hr; 2-sided exact Kruskal-Wallis p < 0.0006. Conclusions: Patients with RD tolerate 150 mg and appear to have normal clearance of E. Patients with HD should be treated at a reduced dose (i.e. 75 mg) consistent with their reduced clearance.

Abstract
7006 Background: Although objective response (CR/PR) & overall survival (OS) are typical efficacy measures for new treatments in advanced stage NSCLC, each has its limitations; e.g., some patients (pts) have no measurable disease or achieve only disease stabilization (SD) while OS is influenced by effective salvage therapies. Alternative methods of determining “clinical benefit” are needed. Methods: Pooled data from 984 pts entered onto 3 randomized SWOG trials of platinum-based chemotherapy (S9509: carbo/paclitaxel (CP) vs. cisplatin/vinorelbine; S9806: carbo/gemcitabine ->P or cisplatin/vinorelbine -> docetaxel; & S0003: CP ± tirapazamine) were analyzed for survival using the Landmark method. Results: Pt characteristics: median age = 62 years; male sex = 647 pts (66%); stage IV = 826 pts (84%); weight loss ≥ 5% = 404 pts (42%); performance status (PS) 0/≥1 = 340 (36%)/606 (64%). Tumor response was seen in 260 pts (26%). Median time to response (TTR), time to progression (TTP) & OS were 1.9, 4.3 and 8.9 months. PS > 0 & weight loss were associated with worse survival (hazard ratio [HR] 1.38 and 1.28; p 0 (HR 0.75, p=0.03) and weight loss (HR 0.74, p = 0.03). Shorter TTP was associated with PS>0, stage IV, & weight loss (HR 1.34, 1.08, 1.34 and p = 0.0001, 0.01, < 0.00001). Of 886 pts alive at month 2 (time of initial response assessment following 2 treatment cycles), 62% had SD while19% had CR/PR for a disease control rate (CR+PR+SD, aka DCR) of 81%; 18% had progressive disease (PD). Although CR/PR at month 2 was associated with longer survival (HR 0.62, p<0.001), DCR had a much stronger association (HR 0.38, p<0.0001). Inclusion of DCR in the regression model improved its fit (p<0.00001), reducing the significance of CR/PR as an independent variable. Median survival among pts with CR/PR, SD, & PD were 13.5, 8.4, & 3.1 months. Conclusions: 1)DCR at month 2 is a more powerful predictor of subsequent survival than the CR/PR rate. 2) If validated, this “early look” statistical measure could enhance efficacy assessment. 3) These findings may have broad implications for the design of future trials in advanced NSCLC & will be prospectively tested in SWOG.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate in vitro interactions of carboplatin, gemcitabine and paclitaxel in molecularly defined non-small-cell lung cancer lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three NSCLC lines, A549 (p16-,p53 wt, Rb wt), Calu-1 (p16-, p53-, Rb+) and H596 (p16 wt, p53 mut, Rb-) were utilized. Cells were exposed to carboplatin, gemcitabine and paclitaxel as individual drugs and in two- and three-drug combinations with various sequences of administration. Cytotoxicity was assessed with the MTT assay. Interactions between the drugs (additive, synergistic and antagonistic) were evaluated by median effect analysis. RESULTS Gemcitabine and carboplatin were synergistic in all three cell lines. In the A549 line, this synergy was most pronounced when gemcitabine preceded carboplatin. For three-drug combinations, paclitaxel was synergistic with gemcitabine and carboplatin regardless of sequence of administration. CONCLUSIONS In vitro modeling of gemcitabine and carboplatin as well as gemcitabine/carboplatin and paclitaxel demonstrates synergistic interaction regardless of p16, p53, or Rb status.

Abstract
Of the patients that undergo complete resection of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 30-60% will die. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy has yet to demonstrate an unequivocal benefit and there are significant difficulties in administering postoperative chemotherapy to patients with the significant comorbidities found in NSCLC. Currently, several trials are evaluating the role of preoperative chemotherapy in stage I and II NSCLC. This paper reviews the rationale for this approach and potential future developments.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although cisplatin is an important agent in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), de novo resistance is common and acquired resistance emerges rapidly during therapy. Proposed mediators of platinum resistance include the protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction pathway and associated c-FOS overexpression. While estrogen administration has been reported to upregulate PKC and c-FOS expression, the triphenylethylenes tamoxifen and toremifene potentiate platinum cytotoxicity by inhibition of PKC. Downregulation of c-FOS expression has been reported to result from PKC inhibition. In view of these findings, we hypothesized that toremifene would reverse platinum resistance and that this interaction would be influenced by tumor estrogen receptor (ER) status. MATERIALS AND METHODS A phase II trial of high-dose toremifene (600 mg orally daily on days 1-7) plus cisplatin (50 mg/m2 intravenously on days 4 and 11) every 28 days in NSCLC patients was conducted. A group of 30 patients with metastatic NSCLC who had been previously treated with platinum-based therapy were enrolled. RESULTS All of the 30 patients were assessable for toxicity and 28 for tumor response. Therapy was well tolerated with minimal hematologic and non-hematologic toxicity. Common toxicity criteria grade 3 hematologic toxicity was seen in only three patients. Five patients achieved a partial response for an overall response rate of 18% (95% CI 6-37). Median overall survival was 8.1 months (95% CI 5.4-17). To assess PKC, ER, and c-Fos expression by immunohistochemistry, 12 informative pretreatment patient tumor specimens were obtained. Four patient tumor specimens were positive for one or both PKC isoforms (alpha and epsilon) while c-Fos was overexpressed in three. None of the responding patient tumors exhibited c-FOS or PKC-epsilon overexpression. ER expression was found to be infrequent (8%), contrasting with previous reports in this tumor type. CONCLUSION While this phase II study indicates that high-dose toremifene plus cisplatin is feasible, active, and well tolerated in NSCLC patients previously treated with platinum compounds, the mechanism of action remains unclear. Further study of this regimen is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this Phase II study was to evaluate the concept of sequential chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with advanced nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) by the administration of carboplatin plus gemcitabine followed by of paclitaxel. METHODS Patients with Stage IIIB (pleural effusion) or Stage IV NSCLC and a Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) performance status (PS) of 0--2 were eligible. Therapy consisted of three cycles of carboplatin (area under the concentration-time curve = 5.5 mg/mL per minute) on Day 1 and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m(2) on Days 1 and 8 every 21 days followed by three cycles of paclitaxel 225 mg/m(2) every 21 days. RESULTS Of the 37 eligible patients, 81% had Stage IV disease, and 27% had a PS of 2; all were assessable for survival and toxicity; 32 patients were assessable for response. After treatment with carboplatin plus gemcitabine, there were no complete responses (CRs) and eight partial responses (PRs) (response rate [RR], 25%; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 11--43%). The best overall response was two CRs and eight PRs (RR, 31%; 95% CI, 16--50%). The median survival time was 9.5 months, the 1-year survival rate was 36% (95% CI, 26--44%), the 2-year survival rate was 11% (95% CI, 3--25%), and the median time to disease progression was 4.9 months. The median survivals were 11.2 months for patients with a PS of 0--1 and 6.4 months for patients with a PS of 2. Noncumulative, reversible thrombocytopenia was the principal toxicity with carboplatin/gemcitabine therapy. Paclitaxel therapy was well tolerated, and moderate (Grade 3) neutropenia was the primary toxic effect. One cardiac death occurred, possibly related to paclitaxel. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to evaluate planned sequential chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC. Carboplatin plus gemcitabine followed by paclitaxel was well tolerated and resulted in promising survival in this patient population. This pilot experience forms the basis for an ongoing SWOG trial.

Abstract
Despite unequivocal evidence of activity and tolerability, the potential contribution of vinorelbine to the management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been relatively unappreciated. A phase III trial of vinorelbine as a single agent in the elderly demonstrated clear benefits in terms of survival and quality of life compared with supportive care. Two other phase III trials demonstrated that vinorelbine plus platinum was superior when compared either with one of the older platinum combinations, platinum as a single agent or vinorelbine alone. New vinorelbine-based regimens appear to be active but with less toxicity than older combinations in stage IV disease. Chemotherapy plays an essential role in the management of locally advanced (i.e., stage III) disease with the weight of evidence supporting improved curability of this stage when drugs are employed either preoperatively or as part of a chemoradiotherapy regimen. It has been reported that induction therapy using carboplatin/vinorelbine or carboplatin/paclitaxel followed by accelerated conformal radiation therapy has promising results without causing undue toxicity. Clearly, vinorelbine is an active agent which is well tolerated and suitable for use in the management of NSCLC. It is likely to play a greater role in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE The triphenylethylenes tamoxifen and toremifene have been reported to enhance the cytotoxicity of cisplatin by inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction pathways. However, the concentrations of tamoxifen and toremifene required for chemosensitization in preclinical models are generally > or =5 microM, at least tenfold higher than plasma levels observed in patients receiving these agents as antiestrogenic therapy. As part of a translational phase II trial investigating the efficacy and potential molecular mechanism of high-dose toremifene as a cisplatin modulator in metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer, plasma concentrations of toremifene and its active metabolite N-desmethyltoremifene were measured to determine whether targeted levels could be achieved clinically. METHODS Treatment consisted of toremifene, 600 mg orally on days 1-7, and cisplatin, 50 mg/m2 intravenously on days 4 and 11, repeated every 28 days. Toremifene and N-desmethyltoremifene were measured by reverse-phase HPLC assay on days 4 and 11 prior to cisplatin infusion. RESULTS In the initial 14 patients, the mean total plasma concentrations of toremifene plus its N-desmethyl metabolite on days 4 and 11 were 14.04 (+/- 8.6) microM and 9.8 (+/- 4.4) microM, respectively. Variability in concentrations achieved did not correlate with renal or hepatic function, gender, or body surface area. Levels of N-desmethyltoremifene were higher on day 11 relative to toremifene concentrations. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that plasma levels achieved compare favorably with the levels required for cisplatin chemosensitization and PKC modulation in vitro. Targeted toremifene levels can be achieved clinically with 600 mg orally daily in combination with cisplatin and are well tolerated.

Abstract
Combinations of gemcitabine (Gemzar) with cisplatin (Platinol) are among the most active new chemotherapy regimens developed for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. Carboplatin (Paraplatin) is a platinum analog devoid of many of the nonhematologic toxicities associated with cisplatin. Although few direct comparisons have been made, when administered by area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) dosing, carboplatin is probably equivalent to cisplatin in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer and provides an improved therapeutic index. Based on its favorable toxicity profile, carboplatin has supplanted cisplatin for use in combination with paclitaxel in several different tumor types. Initial trials combining gemcitabine and carboplatin using standard days 1, 8, and 15 dosing of gemcitabine suggested that thrombocytopenia was problematic. More recently, 21-day schedules in which gemcitabine is administered only on days 1 and 8 have demonstrated both efficacy and improved toxicity profiles. Here we review recent studies investigating gemcitabine plus carboplatin and preliminary data regarding combinations of gemcitabine with the new platinum analog oxaliplatin.

Abstract
PURPOSE Both docetaxel (DOC), a promoter and stabilizer of microtubule assembly, and topotecan (TOPO), a topoisomerase I inhibitor, have shown antitumor activity in a variety of solid tumor malignancies. This phase I trial was conducted to determine the overall and dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the pharmacokinetics of the combination of DOC and TOPO in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies. METHODS DOC was administered first at 60 mg/m2 without G-CSF and at 60, 70, and 80 mg/m2 with G-CSF by 1-h infusion on day 1 of the odd-numbered cycles (1, 3, 5, etc.) and on day 4 of the even-numbered cycles (2, 4, 6, etc.). TOPO 0.75 mg/m2 was administered as a 30-min infusion on days 1, 2, 3 and 4 of each cycle. G-CSF 300 micrograms was administered subcutaneously (s.c.) on days 5-14. Cycles were repeated every 21 days. All patients were premedicated with dexamethasone 8 mg orally every 12 h for a total of six doses starting on the day before DOC infusion. RESULTS A total of 22 patients were treated. Six patients were treated in cohort I with DOC and TOPO doses of 60 and 0.75 mg/m2, respectively, without G-CSF, and two patients developed DLT (febrile neutropenia). Four patients were treated in cohort II with DOC and TOPO doses of 60 and 0.75 mg/m2, respectively, with G-CSF, and no DLT was observed. Four patients were treated in cohort III with DOC and TOPO doses of 80 and 0.75 mg/m2, respectively, with G-CSF, and three developed DLT (febrile neutropenia). DOC was then de-escalated to 70 mg/m2 and delivered with TOPO 0.75 mg/m2 and G-CSF (cohort IV). Eight patients were treated at this dose level, and one DLT (febrile neutropenia) was observed. Two patients developed a severe hypersensitivity reaction shortly after the DOC infusion was started, one in cycle 1 and one in cycle 2. Both patients were removed from the study. Two patients developed severe dyspnea in the presence of progressive pulmonary metastases. Other nonhematological toxicities were mild. One patient with extensively pretreated ovarian carcinoma had a partial response, and eight patients with various solid tumor malignancies had stable disease with a median time to progression of 12 weeks (range 9-18 weeks). Administration of TOPO on days 1-4 and DOC on day 4 resulted in increased neutropenia. CONCLUSIONS DOC 80 mg/m2 given first as a 1-h infusion on day 1 with TOPO 0.75 mg/m2 given as a 0.5-h infusion on days 1, 2, 3 and 4 with G-CSF was considered the MTD. The recommended phase II dose for DOC given on day 1 is 70 mg/m2 with TOPO 0.75 mg/m2 given on days 1, 2, 3 and 4 every 21 days with G-CSF 300 micrograms s.c. on days 5-14. The alternative schedule with DOC given on day 4 and TOPO on days 1-4 is not recommended.

Abstract
The treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer requires histologic proof of diagnosis, careful staging, and assessment of each patient's performance status and comorbidities. For patients with stage IIIB (pleural effusion) and stage IV disease who have a Cancer and Leukemia Group B performance status (PS) of 0 to 1, appropriate management consists of combination chemotherapy with a platinum (either cisplatin or carboplatin) combined with paclitaxel, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, docetaxel, or CPT-11. Dosages and schedules previously established by large phase II or phase III studies should be followed. Variations in the toxicity patterns, schedules of administration, and economic considerations should guide the selection of the specific regimen. For patients who maintain a good performance status after first-line chemotherapy, second-line treatment may be considered. Current evidence supports the use of docetaxel as second-line treatment if the patient has not previously received this drug. Gemcitabine and paclitaxel may also have activity in this setting. Vinorelbine, ifosfamide, and CPT-11 appear to be inactive as second-line therapy for patients who have previously received platinum-based chemotherapy. For patients with a PS of 2, single-agent chemotherapy with vinorelbine, gemcitabine, or a combination of the two should be considered. Patients with poor performance status should be treated with supportive measures designed to relieve pain and acute complications because any tumor-directed therapy has limited benefit. Special situations exist in which curative therapy for metastatic disease is a possibility. Patients who present with solitary sites of metastatic disease, particularly after a long disease-free interval and in the CNS may undergo definitive surgery or radiotherapy with curative intent. Some have also reported favorable outcomes for patients with solitary adrenal or bone metastases as well. Surgical treatment or definitive radiotherapy should not be employed unless a thorough restaging evaluation is performed that includes computed tomography scan of the chest and abdomen through adrenals, brain magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography scan. A plethora of new agents targeting angiogenesis, tumor invasiveness, the hypoxic environment of tumors, and the cell cycle are currently in development.

Abstract
The combination of methotrexate, vinblastine, Adriamycin, and cisplatin (MVAC) has been the standard therapy for transitional cell carcinoma for over a decade. Despite evidence that MVAC can improve outcome in comparison with single drugs or other combinations in this disease, only a small fraction of patients (less than 4%) become long-term survivors, and the regimen is quite toxic. Attempts to improve upon the MVAC regimen have partially ameliorated its toxicity, but they have not clearly improved outcome. Recently, a number of new chemotherapeutic agents have become available. This report summarizes the current experience with these agents and combinations.

Abstract
Several new agents developed in the past decade have demonstrated activity in esophageal cancer. No single agent or combination of agents has been compared in a randomized study with the current standard, albeit limited, treatment of cisplatin and 5-FU. Recent studies employing instruments measuring pain and quality of life have demonstrated stability or improvement, indicating real patient benefit from treatment. Numerous agents with potential activity in esophageal carcinoma based on their putative mechanisms of action are in development. Only clinical trials can establish the role of these agents in the clinic.

Abstract
Platinum compounds, either cisplatin (Platinol) or carboplatin (Paraplatin), in combination with a number of new chemotherapeutic agents, have demonstrated improved response or survival compared to cisplatin alone or older platinum-based regimens. Gemcitabine (Gemzar)-platinum combinations are of particular interest because of their interactive mechanisms of action, demonstrated preclinical synergism, and the single-agent activity of gemcitabine. Indeed, gemcitabine and cisplatin regimens have proven to be among the most efficacious in the palliative treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. In view of the reduced nonhematologic toxicities associated with the platinum analogue, carboplatin, several combinations of new agents and carboplatin have been developed and incorporated into clinical practice. This article describes recent clinical trials evaluating gemcitabine plus carboplatin, and the impact of the dosing schedule on the feasibility and tolerability of this combination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility and activity of paclitaxel, carboplatin, and methotrexate in advanced transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urothelium and to relate the activity of this combination to the mutational status of p53. METHODS In the Phase I portion, paclitaxel 200 mg/m(2) (3-hour infusion), carboplatin dosed to an area under the curve (AUC) of 6 mg/mL. min, and methotrexate 10 mg/m(2), increasing in 10-mg/m(2) increments, were administered on day 1 and every 21 days thereafter with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and leucovorin support. Subsequently, a Phase II study was initiated in which the carboplatin dose was lowered to an AUC of 5 to allow treatment without G-CSF. p53 expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were accrued. Median age was 66 years. No dose-limiting toxicities were seen in the Phase I portion despite escalation of the methotrexate to 60 mg/m(2). Principal toxicities were myelosuppression and neuropathy. The overall response rate (Phase I and II) was 56% (95% confidence interval 38% to 74%). Median survival was 15.5 months; 88% of patients overexpressed p53 at the primary site. CONCLUSIONS Paclitaxel, carboplatin, and methotrexate were well tolerated and active in advanced TCC. The high response rate to this regimen despite frequent p53 mutation is consistent with the p53-independent mechanism of paclitaxel. Whether this regimen is superior to methotrexate/vinblastine/doxorubicin/cisplatin, other paclitaxel-based regimens, or to paclitaxel alone will require comparative trials.

Abstract
Recent developments in the chemotherapy of advanced and metastatic non small-cell lung cancer have led to significant, albeit modest, improvements in survival and quality of life. The plethora of new agents with activity in this disease has led to questions as to how these drugs can best be added to existing regimens. Traditionally, the paradigm of combination chemotherapy has dominated this approach with new agents added to older regimens. Unfortunately, this will frequently lead to additive toxicity and necessitate reduction in the doses of individual components of the combination. The planned sequential administration of new chemotherapy agents circumvents this problem. Additionally, considerable theoretical, biological, and clinical evidence supports this approach. This paper reviews the rationale for this strategy and discusses initial data from a pilot trial of this approach.

Abstract
7-Hydroxystaurosporine (UCN-01), a protein kinase inhibitor in clinical development, demonstrates potent antineoplastic activity. To determine whether specific genetic abnormalities would modulate the response to UCN-01, a model of human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cell lines with differential abnormalities of p16CDKN2, RB, and p53 was used for these studies. Cell growth was measured by the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, and cell cycling was studied using flow cytometric analysis of DNA content. Changes in protein levels and phosphorylation were assessed by Western blotting. In cell lines expressing wild-type RB (A549 and Calul), UCN-01 treatment resulted in dose-dependent growth inhibition, arrest of cells in G1, and a reduction of cells in S phase. p16CDKN2-null cells showed similar growth inhibition to normal fetal lung fibroblasts. UCN-01-induced growth arrest was accompanied by induction of p21CDKN1 and a shift of Rb to the hypophosphorylated state in both p53 wild-type and mutant cell lines. In contrast, UCN-01 treatment of the RB-null cell line H596 resulted in less growth inhibition. To test the role of RB in response to UCN-01, effects of treatment were examined in two human isogenic models of RB expression: the bladder cancer cell line 5637 (RB-null) and the prostate cancer cell line DU-145 (RB-mutant). In the Rb-expressing 5637 subline (RB5), UCN-01 treatment resulted in Rb hypophosphorylation and an accumulation in G1 in contrast to the parent line. Similarly, the wild-type Rb-expressing DU-145 sublines (DU1.1 and B5) showed increased G1 arrest compared with the parent cells. We conclude that UCN-01-induced G1 arrest can occur in cells null for p53 and p16CDKN2, and that RB status influences the ability of UCN-01 to induce a G1 arrest. These data suggest that the molecular profile of cell cycle regulating genes in individual tumors may predict responsiveness and provide insight into optimal therapeutic application of this new antineoplastic agent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imbalanced amino acid diets in animals rapidly produce anorexia and weight loss. Blockade of type 3 serotonergic receptors (5HT(3)) can ameliorate anorexia in this animal model. Imbalanced plasma amino acid levels also have been documented in both animal models and human patients with cancer cachexia. Therefore a trial of the 5HT(3) receptor antagonist, ondansetron, was undertaken in the treatment of patients with cancer cachexia. METHODS Patients with metastatic cancer who were not undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy and who had lost >5% of their body weight were eligible. Baseline physical examination; weight; anthropometric studies; levels of retinol binding protein, albumin, and prealbumin; and skin testing for anergy were obtained. The ability to enjoy food was assessed utilizing a seven-point hedonic category scale for specific foods. Therapy was comprised of oral ondansetron, 8 mg twice a day. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients were enrolled; all were evaluable for toxicity and 20 patients were evaluable for response. Toxicity of ondansetron was minimal. Patients demonstrated significant weight loss prior to disease entry (mean baseline weight of 76.9 kg vs. 72. 1 kg; P < 0.000002). Patients continued to lose weight on study (Week 0: 72.5 kg vs. Week 4: 71.4 kg; P = 0.027); in addition, there was significant deterioration of midarm circumference and hand grip strength, all of which indicated worsening nutritional status. However, a significant improvement in food enjoyment was noted (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Although it apparently improved the ability of patients to enjoy food, the blockade of 5HT(3) receptors failed to prevent weight loss in patients with cancer cachexia or alter laboratory parameters of protein nutrition.
