The Efficacy and Safety of Nab-paclitaxel in Pretreated Patients With Extensive Disease of Small Cell Lung Cancer

October 7, 2014 updated by: Caicun Zhou, Tongji University

Single Arm Phase II Clinical Trial to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Nab-paclitaxel as a Single Agent in the Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With Extensive Disease and Failed to First Line/ Second Line Chemotherapy

Patients with extensive disease(ED) small cell lung cancer is still have a dismal prognosis, even though the first line chemotherapy showing about 70% response rate. Most of the patients will relapse with in 6 months after the chemotherapy and the following therapy such as second line chemotherapy have a very limited efficacy to these patients. Currently, there is no standard 3rd line therapy for the patients with ED small cell lung cancer(SCLC).

As the investigators know, Nab-paclitaxel had showing promising efficacy in several cases report in the patients with SCLC, the aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel as a single agent in the SCLC patients with extensive disease and failed to first line/ second line chemotherapy.
