Article Synopsis
- - A phase II trial examined the effectiveness and side effects of a new chemotherapy combination involving vinorelbine and paclitaxel in 34 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) between 1997 and 1999.
- - Although the treatment resulted in a 13% objective response rate, no complete responses were observed, with the median time to treatment failure being 4 months and median survival at 9 months.
- - The study noted significant toxicities, primarily myelosuppression, with leukopenia and neutropenia affecting most patients, while other side effects included neurotoxicity and gastro-intestinal issues; the overall treatment demonstrated only modest effectiveness against the disease.
