Background: Bryostatin-1 is a macrocyclic lactone, which exhibits pleiotropic biological effects via protein kinase C and has shown preclinical synergy with paclitaxel for enhanced tumor cell apoptosis.
Patients And Methods: Patients had stage IIIB (pleural effusion)/IV non-small cell lung cancer, measurable disease, performance status 0-2 Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, adequate organ function, and no prior chemotherapy. Patients received dexamethasone premedication followed by paclitaxel at a dose of 90 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8, and 15 along with bryostatin-1 50 microg/m(2) on days 2, 9, and 16 every 28 days until disease progression.
