Six hundred eighty assessable patients with measureable stage III M1,
non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were randomized to one of five treatment
arms including cisplatin, etoposide (VP-16) +/- methylglyoxal
bisguanylhydrazone (MGBG; PVp, PVpM); cisplatin, vinblastine (PVe); or PVe
alternating with vinblastine, mitomycin (PVeMi); or fluorouracil,
vincristine, mitomycin/cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, cisplatin (FOMi/CAP).
The overall response rate was 20% with 3% complete responses and 17%
partial remissions. The duration of these responses was not statistically
different by treatment regimen and varied from 2.7 months to 5.0 months.
The overall median survival for all patients was 5.3 months and is not
different by treatment. Toxicity was greater in PVpM. The similarity of
results for response, duration of response, and survival does not establish
the superiority of any of these platinum-based regimens for standard
clinical usage.
