PURPOSE: We conducted a phase II study to determine the response to and
toxicity of docetaxel (Taxotere; Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Pharmaceuticals, Inc,
Collegeville, PA) in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
refractory to prior platinum-containing chemotherapy (PCC) regimens.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-four patients with stage IIIb or IV
platinum-refractory non-small-cell lung cancer were treated with 100 mg/m2
of docetaxel intravenously over 1 hour every 3 weeks. The responses of 42
of 44 patients were assessable. Most patients had a Zubrod performance
status of 1; the predominant histologic type was adenocarcinoma (61%), and
91% of patients had stage IV disease. RESULTS: Nine of 42 assessable
patients (21%) achieved a partial response to treatment. The median
response duration (from response to progression) was 17 weeks, and the
projected median survival duration of all patients is 42 weeks (51 weeks
for adenocarcinoma and 22 weeks for nonadenocarcinoma). Grade 3/4
neutropenia occurred in 85% of patients and was associated with fever that
required intravenous antibiotics in 16% of patients (3% of cycles). Other
acute side effects included easily treated hypersensitivity reactions and
dermatitis. Cumulative side effects included fluid retention and
neuropathy. CONCLUSION: Docetaxel administered at 100 mg/m2 intravenously
every 3 weeks has notable activity against platinum-refractory
non-small-cell lung cancer, with a 21% major response rate. Primary side
effects were neutropenia, hypersensitivity, and fluid retention.
