Abstract
Background Amrubicin is approved for treating non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small-cell lung cancer. However, no direct comparisons between amrubicin and docetaxel, a standard treatment for NSCLC, have been reported. Patients and methods We conducted a randomized phase III trial of Japanese NSCLC patients after one or two chemotherapy regimens. Patients were randomized to amrubicin (35 mg/m2 on days 1-3 every 3 weeks) or docetaxel (60 mg/m2 on day 1 every 3 weeks). Outcomes included progression-free survival, overall survival, tumor responses, and safety. Results Between October 2010 and June 2012, 202 patients were enrolled across 32 institutions. Median progression-free survival (3.6 versus 3.0 months; P = 0.54) and overall survival (14.6 versus 13.5 months; P = 0.86) were comparable in the amrubicin and docetaxel groups, respectively. The overall response rate was 14.4% (14/97) and 19.6% (19/97) in the amrubicin and docetaxel groups, respectively (P = 0.45). The disease control rate was 55.7% in both groups. Adverse events occurred in all patients, and included grade ≥3 neutropenia occurred in 82.7% and 78.8% of patients in the amrubicin and docetaxel groups, respectively, grade ≥3 leukopenia occurred in 63.3% and 70.7%, and grade ≥3 febrile neutropenia occurred in 13.3% and 18.2% of patients in the amrubicin and docetaxel groups, respectively. Of eight cardiac-related events in the amrubicin group, three were considered related to amrubicin and resolved without treatment discontinuation. Conclusions This was the first phase III study to compare amrubicin and docetaxel in patients with pretreated NSCLC. Amrubicin did not significantly improve the primary endpoint of PFS compared with docetaxel. Clinical trial registration NCT01207011 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platinum-based two-drug combination chemotherapy has been standard of care for patients with advanced nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary aim was to compare overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced NSCLC between the two chemotherapy regimens. Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), response, safety, and quality of life (QoL). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with previously untreated stage IIIB or IV NSCLC, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1 and adequate organ function were randomized to receive either oral S-1 80 mg/m(2)/day on days 1-21 plus cisplatin 60 mg/m(2) on day 8 every 4-5 weeks, or docetaxel 60 mg/m(2) on day 1 plus cisplatin 80 mg/m(2) on day 1 every 3-4 weeks, both up to six cycles. RESULTS A total of 608 patients from 66 sites in Japan were randomized to S-1 plus cisplatin (n = 303) or docetaxel plus cisplatin (n = 305). OS for oral S-1 plus cisplatin was noninferior to docetaxel plus cisplatin [median survival, 16.1 versus 17.1 months, respectively; hazard ratio = 1.013; 96.4% confidence interval (CI) 0.837-1.227]. Significantly higher febrile neutropenia (7.4% versus 1.0%), grade 3/4 neutropenia (73.4% versus 22.9%), grade 3/4 infection (14.5% versus 5.3%), and grade 1/2 alopecia (59.3% versus 12.3%) were observed in the docetaxel plus cisplatin than in the S-1 plus cisplatin. There were no differences found in PFS or response between the two arms. QoL data investigated by EORTC QLQ-C30 and LC-13 favored the S-1 plus cisplatin. CONCLUSION Oral S-1 plus cisplatin is not inferior to docetaxel plus cisplatin and is better tolerated in Japanese patients with advanced NSCLC. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER UMIN000000608.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study reports the findings of a Phase I/II, cohort, dose-escalation trial of amrubicin and irinotecan with the support of granulocyte colony-stimulation factor. This study aimed to determine the dose-limiting toxicity of the combination and to define the maximum-tolerated dose, as a recommended dose for Phase II trials. We also sought to obtain preliminary data on the efficacy of this combination as a frontline therapy for extensive-disease small-cell lung cancer. METHODS We included 23 chemo-naïve patients with extensive-disease small-cell lung cancer in the trial. The amrubicin dose was escalated from 35 to 40 mg/m(2) (Levels 1 and 2, respectively) to determine the dose-limiting toxicity, with an unchanged dose of irinotecan at 50 mg/m(2). RESULTS Of nine patients, three experienced dose-limiting toxicities at Level 1 of prolonged Grade 4 neutropenia, Grade 3 febrile neutropenia and Grade 3 febrile neutropenia with Grade 3 diarrhea. At Level 2, two patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities of Grade 4 neutropenia and Grade 3 neutropenia with Grade 4 diarrhea. The maximum-tolerated doses and recommended doses for amrubicin and irinotecan were therefore determined to be 35 and 50 mg/m(2), respectively. The Level 1 trial was then expanded to 21 patients, 14 (70%) of whom showed partial responses to the recommended dose. The median progression-free and overall survival times were 6.37 and 15.21 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The combination of amrubicin and irinotecan with the support of granulocyte colony-stimulation factor produced a potent effect in chemo-naïve extensive-disease small-cell lung cancer patients. The use of biomarkers for this regimen may identify patients who are likely to suffer from treatment-ending severe adverse effects.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that some cases of familial interstitial pneumonia are associated with mutations in the gene encoding surfactant protein C (SFTPC). We report here a case of familial interstitial pneumonia in an adolescent boy whose paternal grandfather and father suffered from idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). The patient was asymptomatic but showed an abnormal shadow in the chest at his medical check-up. The surgical biopsy of the patient revealed non-specific interstitial pneumonia and showed pathological findings similar to those in his father's autopsy. Genomic DNA from blood leucocytes of the patient was sequenced for the Thy104His (Y104H) SFTPC mutation. Based on these results, he was diagnosed with SFTPC mutation-associated familial interstitial pneumonia. There has been no clinical, physiologic and radiologic progression for 4 years since the diagnosis. The relation between clinical manifestation and the mutation site of the patient may broaden the spectrum of SFTPC mutation-associated interstitial pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A phase III study (Lung Cancer Evaluation of TS-1) previously demonstrated noninferiority in terms of overall survival (OS) at interim analysis for carboplatin-S-1 compared with carboplatin-paclitaxel for first-line treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 564 patients were randomly assigned to receive either carboplatin on day 1 plus oral S-1 on days 1-14 or carboplatin-paclitaxel on day 1 every 21 days. Updated results and post hoc subgroup analysis according to tumor histology are presented. RESULTS The updated analysis revealed a median OS of 15.2 months in the carboplatin-S-1 arm and 13.1 months in the carboplatin-paclitaxel arm, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.956 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.793-1.151], consistent with the previous primary analysis. Median OS was 14.0 months in the carboplatin-S-1 arm and 10.6 months in the carboplatin-paclitaxel arm (HR 0.713; 95% CI 0.476-1.068) for patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with corresponding values of 15.5 and 13.9 months (HR 1.060; 95% CI 0.859-1.308) for those with non-SCC. CONCLUSIONS These results establish the efficacy and safety of carboplatin-S-1 in patients with advanced NSCLC regardless of tumor histology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Japanese pulmonologists, experienced in treating patients with diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) prior to the 1980s, have uniformly observed that new incidences of DPB are now a rare event in Japan. However, there is no epidemiological data to support this observation. We examined epidemiological trends of the number of patients with DPB in a large company. DESIGN The computerized health records of JR East Company employees were used to identify patients with DPB and then these were followed up using the assessments of these patients in JR Tokyo General Hospital and two other JR hospitals. The whole study period was 27 years (1976-2003), although detailed analyses were carried out for three specific periods; the first was 1976-1980, the second was 1989-1993, and the third was 1999-2003. RESULTS In the first period, 11 DPB cases (four incidence, and seven prevalence) were detected among a total of 355,572 workers. In the second period, three DPB cases (one incidence, and two prevalence) were identified from a total of 180,359 workers. In the third period, no case was found in a total of 144,485 workers. CONCLUSION This epidemiological trend suggests that both the incidence and prevalence of DPB may have decreased.

Abstract
AIMS The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical and oncological outcomes of prostatectomy patients undergoing minimum incision endoscopic radical prostatectomy (MIE-RP). METHODS Between September 2005 and May 2010, 541 patients underwent MIE-RP with bilateral lymphadenectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer at Hirosaki University Hospital. The present retrospective study enrolled 375 patients who had not received neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. MIE-RP was performed through a 6-cm suprapubic midline incision. A 30° laparoscope was conveniently positioned on the head side of the patient for precise observation and monitoring. RESULTS The median operating time was 119 min, and the estimated blood loss was 900 ml. The most frequent perioperative complication was leakage from the vesicourethral anastomosis (6.7%), and rectal injury occurred in 1.0%. Overall, 31.2% of the patients had a positive surgical margin, including 11.1% with pT2, 52.9% with pT3 and 100% with pT4 diseases. The post-operative median follow-up period was 40.5 months (range, 2-56.5 months). The 5-year PSA-free survival rate was 71.6%. In multivariate analysis, high-risk patients (according to the D'Amico risk criteria), pathological T stage and positive surgical margins were identified as independent predictors of PSA-free survival. The limitations of this study included a retrospective study, relatively short follow-up period and single-institution nature of the study. CONCLUSIONS MIE-RP is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that may represent a reliable alternative to laparoscopic and robotic-assisted RP.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease without proven effective therapy. A multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised phase III clinical trial was conducted in Japanese patients with well-defined IPF to determine the efficacy and safety of pirfenidone, a novel antifibrotic oral agent, over 52 weeks. Of 275 patients randomised (high-dose, 1,800 mg x day(-1); low-dose, 1,200 mg x day(-1); or placebo groups in the ratio 2:1:2), 267 patients were evaluated for the efficacy of pirfenidone. Prior to unblinding, the primary end-point was revised; the change in vital capacity (VC) was assessed at week 52. Secondary end-points included the progression-free survival (PFS) time. Significant differences were observed in VC decline (primary end-point) between the placebo group (-0.16 L) and the high-dose group (-0.09 L) (p = 0.0416); differences between the two groups (p = 0.0280) were also observed in the PFS (the secondary end-point). Although photosensitivity, a well-established side-effect of pirfenidone, was the major adverse event in this study, it was mild in severity in most of the patients. Pirfenidone was relatively well tolerated in patients with IPF. Treatment with pirfenidone may decrease the rate of decline in VC and may increase the PFS time over 52 weeks. Additional studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
7504 Background: Weekly chemotherapy with concurrent TRT displays acceptable toxicities and dependable efficacy. We conducted a randomized phase III trial to assess the efficacy and toxicity of weekly chemotherapy with concurrent TRT against MVP with concurrent TRT via a non-inferiority design. Methods: MVP: mitomycin (8 mg/m2 on days 1, 29), vindesine (3 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, 29, 36), and cisplatin (80 mg/m2 on days 1, 29) with concurrent TRT (60 Gy). Patients (pts) subsequently received 2 courses of consolidation chemotherapy with MVP; IC: weekly irinotecan (20 mg/m2)/carboplatin (AUC 2) for 6 weeks and TRT (60 Gy) followed by 2 courses of irinotecan (50 mg/m2)/carboplatin (AUC 5); PC: weekly paclitaxel (40 mg/m2)/carboplatin (AUC 2) for 6 weeks and TRT (60 Gy) followed by 2 courses of paclitaxel (200 mg/m2)/carboplatin (AUC 5). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), with secondary endpoints of progression free survival (PFS), response, and toxicity. Results: From Sep 2001 to Sep 2005, 456 pts were randomized. Pretreatment characteristics were well-balanced among 3 arms. Major toxicity incidences: The incidence of G3–4 neutropenia in the MVP, IC, and PC arms was 95.9, 72.1, and 46.9 % (p<0.001). The G3–4 non-hematologic toxicity incidences in terms of fatigue, febrile neutropenia, and gastrointestinal disorder were 13.0, 6.1, and 4.8 % (p<0.001), 37.0, 8.8, and 10.2 % (p<0.001), and 24.0, 8.2, and 9.5% (p<0.001) in the respective arms. The overall response rates were 66.4, 56.5, and 63.3 %, in the MVP, IC and PC arms, respectively. The median survival times were 20.5, 19.8 and 22.0 months and the median PFS (MPFS), 8.2, 8.0 and 9.5 months in MVP, IC and PC. Non-inferiority of the 2 experimental arms compared with MVP was not achieved, though no significant differences in OS and PFS were apparent among treatments. The PC arm displayed the most favorable MST, MPFS, and hematologic/non-hematologic toxicities. Conclusions: Weekly PC with TRT displays similar efficacy and more favorable toxicity profiles compared to MVP with TRT. Weekly PC with TRT warrants use as the reference regimen in forthcoming studies. [Table: see text]

Abstract
e14606 Background: Amrubicinol (AMR-OH) is an active metabolite of amrubicin (AMR), a novel synthetic 9-amino-anthracycline derivative. The time-concentration profile of AMR-OH exhibits a continuous long plateau slope in terminal phase. To determine the relationships between the steady-state plasma concentration of AMR-OH and treatment effects and toxicities associated with AMR therapy, we performed a PK/PD study of AMR in patients with lung cancer treated with AMR alone or the combination of AMR + cisplatin (CDDP). Methods: AMR was given at a dose of 30 or 40 mg/m2 on days 1 to 3. Plasma samples were collected at pretreatment, 24 hours after the 1st injection (day 2), and 24 hours after the 3rd injection (day 4). Plasma concentrations of AMR, AMR-OH, and CDDP were determined by HPLC and AAS. Percent change in neutrophil count (dANC) and the plasma concentration of AMR-OH were evaluated using a sigmoid Emax model. Results: A total of 35 patients with a median age of 65 years (range 40–78), including 10 with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), 23 with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 1 with thymic cancer, and 1 with neuroblastoma were enrolled. A total of 107 plasma samples were available for study. Mean concentrations of AMR on day 2, AMR on day 4, AMR-OH on day 2, and AMR-OH on day 4 were 8.52ng/mL+4.63, 16.55ng/mL+11.92, 7.28 ng/mL+3.56 SD, and 13.35ng/mL+5.56 (mean ± SD), with significant increase from day 2 to day 4 for both AMR (p<0.0001) and AMR-OH (p<0.0001). Significant relationships were observed between AMR-OH on day 4 and the toxicity grades of leukopenia, neutropenia, and anemia (p=.018, p=.012, and p=.025). Thrombocytopenia grade exhibited a tendency toward relationship with AMR-OH on day 4 (p = .081). No relationships were observed between drug concentrations and responses. The plasma concentration of AMR-OH on day 4 was positively correlated with dANC in the group of all patients, as well as in patients treated with AMR alone and in patients with co-administration with CDDP using a sigmoid Emax model. Conclusions: The plasma concentration of AMR-OH on day 4 was correlated with hematological toxicities in patients treated with AMR. Assessment of plasma concentration of AMR-OH at one time point might enable prediction of hematological toxicities. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
8059 Background: AMR is a totally synthetic 9-aminoanthracycline and a novel topoisomerase II inhibitor. AMR has shown promising clinical activity for advanced NSCLC as well as SCLC. This trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMR for pts with NSCLC previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods: Eligible pts had a performance status 0 to 1, previous treatment with one platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC, and adequate organ function. Pts received AMR 40 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1–3 every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate, which determined the sample size based on an optimal two-stage design. With the target activity level of 18% and the lowest response rate of interest set at 5%, 60 eligible patients were required with a 90% power to accept the hypothesis and a 5% significance level to reject the hypothesis. Results: Sixty-one pts (median age, 63 years; range 51–74 years) were enrolled. The median treatment cycles were 2 (range, 1–15). No complete responses and 7 partial responses were observed, giving an overall response rate of 11.5% (95% CI, 4.7–22.2%). Twenty patients (32.8%) had stable disease and 34 patients (55.7%) had progressive disease as the best response. The overall disease control rate (complete response + partial response + stable disease) was thus 44.3% (95% CI, 31.5–57.6%). The median overall survival and 1-year survival rate were 8.5 months and 32.0%, respectively. Grade 3/4 hematological toxicities were neutropenia (82%), anemia (27.9%) and thrombocytopenia (24.6%). Grade 3/4 non-hematological toxicities were anorexia (9.8%), febrile neutropenia (29.5%) and pneumonitis (1.6%). No treatment-related death and cardiac toxicity were observed. Conclusions: AMR exhibits significant activity with manageable toxicities as second-line therapy for advanced NSCLC. [Table: see text]

Abstract
7556 Background: Standard treatment of resectable N2 disease is not yet established. To gain insights on significance of preoperative chemoradiotherapy, we tried to evaluate feasibility and efficacy of induction chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy followed by surgery in patients with stage IIIA NSCLC with mediastinal lymph node metastases. Methods: Patients with histologically proven N2 disease were randomized either to receive induction chemotherapy (taxotere 60 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC 5x2 cycles) with concurrent radiation therapy of 40Gy/20fr (CRS group) or without it (CS group). Patients subsequently underwent pulmonary resection if the tumor was judged resectable. Original sample size was 180 to detect a 20% of survival difference (2 sided P=0.05) with a power of 0.8. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Results: Between Jan. 2001 and Dec 2005, 60 patients were randomized Because of poor accrual of the patients, the study was prematurely terminated. Two patients assigned to CRS group were ineligible due to staging misconducts. Median age was 57 years (range 34–70 years), and 66% were male. Two groups were well balanced with regard to age, gender, histology, and operative procedures. Induction therapy was well tolerated, and there was no treatment related death. Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia occurred in 74 and 89%, respectively. Objective response rate was 25% for the both groups. Surgical resection was performed in 86% and 89%of the patients in CS and CRS groups, respectively. There have been 37 deaths to date. Event free survival at 3 year was 18% and 32% for patients in CS and CRS group, respectively (HR=0.64; 95% CI: 0.36–1.17, P=0.15). Overall survival at 3 year was 44.4 %. and 52.7% (HR=0.84; 95% CI: 0.44–1.62, P=0.62), respectively. Conclusions: Because of small sample size, there was no statistically significant difference. However, our study suggested that addition of radiotherapy to induction chemotherapy could potentially prolong survival of NSCLC patients with N2 disease. [Table: see text]

Abstract
In order to identify a gene(s) susceptible to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), we conducted a genome-wide association (GWA) study by genotyping 159 patients with IPF and 934 controls for 214 508 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We further evaluated selected SNPs in a replication sample set (83 cases and 535 controls) and found a significant association of an SNP in intron 2 of the TERT gene (rs2736100), which encodes a reverse transcriptase that is a component of a telomerase, with IPF; a combination of two data sets revealed a p value of 2.9 x 10(-8) (GWA, 2.8 x 10(-6); replication, 3.6 x 10(-3)). Considering previous reports indicating that rare mutations of TERT are found in patients with familial IPF, we suggest that the common genetic variation within TERT may contribute to the risk of sporadic IFP in the Japanese population.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of gefitinib and the feasibility of screening for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations among select patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC, chemotherapy-naive patients or patients with recurrences after up to two prior chemotherapy regimens were eligible. Direct sequencing using DNA from tumour specimens was performed by a central laboratory to detect EGFR mutations. Patients harbouring EGFR mutations received gefitinib. The primary study objective was response; the secondary objectives were toxicity, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), 1-year survival (1Y-S) and the disease control rate (DCR). Between March 2005 and January 2006, 118 patients were recruited from 15 institutions and were screened for EGFR mutations, which were detected in 32 patients – 28 of whom were enrolled in the present study. The overall response rate was 75%, the DCR was 96% and the median PFS was 11.5 months. The median OS has not yet been reached, and the 1Y-S was 79%. Thus, gefitinib chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC harbouring EGFR mutations was highly effective. This trial documents the feasibility of performing a multicentre phase II study using a central typing laboratory, demonstrating the benefit to patients of selecting gefitinib treatment based on their EGFR mutation status.

Abstract
The present study was designed to identify recent clinical phenotypes using the National Epidemiological Survey and to compare findings with those of previous surveys in Japan. Pathologically confirmed sarcoidosis cases newly diagnosed in 2004 were eligible for the present study. Disease parameters were recorded and compared. A total of 1,027 patients were enrolled from a cluster encompassing 79.4% of the entire Japanese population. The study participants consisted of 364 males and 663 females, providing an average incidence rate of 1.01 per 100,000 inhabitants (0.73 for males and 1.28 for females). The age-specific incidence rate displayed a biphasic pattern in the whole patient population and in the females. The male incidence rates peaked in the 20-34-yr-old group. A second peak for 50-60-yr-old females showed a higher incidence than the first younger peak. Patients with abnormalities in eyes, skin and cardiac laboratory findings accounted for 54.8, 35.4 and 23.0% of cases, respectively. The female/male incidence ratio was increased, and the frequency of eye and skin involvement and cardiac abnormality was higher than in previous surveys conducted in Japan. In conclusion, the data obtained in the present study differ from those of other countries and showed changes in sarcoidosis clinical phenotypes compared with previous studies in Japan.

Abstract
18161 Background: Single-agent chemotherapy has been considered as standard treatment for elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However recent subset analyses suggest that platinum-based combination chemotherapy may be safely administered to the elderly with good performance status (PS). We evaluated the efficacy and safety of carboplatin and docetaxel in a phase II study of elderly patients aged 70 years or older. Methods: Chemotherapy-naive patients aged =70 years with advanced NSCLC (IIIB-IV), ECOG performance status (PS) of 0–2, a measurable lesion, and adequate organ functions were enrolled. Patients received carboplatin (AUC 5) and docetaxel (60 mg/m2) administered on day 1 every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was response rate (RR). This study, with a planned sample size of 25, had 80% power to support the hypothesis that the true RR was >30%, and 5% significance to deny the hypothesis that the true RR was <10%. Results: Between October 2003 and April 2006, 30 elderly patients with NSCLC were enrolled in the study and all patients were treated. Demographics: M/F 20/10; PS 0/1/2 2/23/5; median age 75 (range 70–84). Median number of treatment cycles was 3.5. Responses in the 30 evaluable patients included 1CR; 13PR; for an objective RR of 46.7% (95% CI 28.8–64.6%). By January 4, 2007, 21 (70.0%) of 30 patients had died. Median follow-up for survival was 8.4 months. The median time to tumor progression was 4.4 months, and the median survival was 9.9 months. The 1-year survival rate was 43.3%.Grade 3/4 hematologic toxicities included leukopenia (80.0%), neutropenia (86.7%), anemia (16.7%) and thrombocytopenia (3.3%). Non-hematologic toxicities were mild with no grade 4 toxicities; grade 3 nausea (10.0%), anorexia (30.0%), diarrhea (13.3%), fatigue (6.7%), allergic reaction (6.7%), pneumonitis (3.3%), febril neutropenia (16.7%) and infection (10.0%) were observed. Conclusions: The combination of carboplatin and docetaxel was safe and promising for the treatment of chemotherapy-naive elderly patients with advanced NSCLC. This regimen warrants further evaluation in a phase III trial. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
We compared the efficacy and the safety of a carboplatin plus etoposide regimen (CE) vs split doses of cisplatin plus etoposide (SPE) in elderly or poor-risk patients with extensive disease small-cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC). Eligibility criteria included: untreated ED-SCLC; age ⩾70 and performance status 0–2, or age <70 and PS 3. The CE arm received carboplatin area under the curve of five intravenously (IV) on day 1 and etoposide 80 mg m−2 IV on days 1–3. The SPE arm received cisplatin 25 mg m−2 IV on days 1–3 and etoposide 80 mg m−2 IV on days 1–3. Both regimens were given with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support in a 21–28 day cycle for four courses. A total of 220 patients were randomised. Median age was 74 years and 74% had a PS of 0 or 1. Major grade 3–4 toxicities were (%CE/%SPE): leucopenia 54/51, neutropenia 95/90, thrombocytopenia 56/16, infection 7/6. There was no significant difference (CE/SPE) in the response rate (73/73%) and overall survival (median 10.6/9.9 mo; P=0.54). Palliation scores were very similar between the arms. Although the SPE regimen is still considered to be the standard treatment in elderly or poor-risk patients with ED-SCLC, the CE regimen can be an alternative for this population considering the risk–benefit balance.
