OBJECTIVE
This study was designed to assess the anti-tumor activity of topotecan (TPT) in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously untreated with chemotherapy.
METHODS
Patients with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC with measurable disease in nonradiated fields were eligible. Other
OBJECTIVE
Based on previous experience, we combined topotecan with paclitaxel (weekly administration) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our primary objective was to determine the response rate and survival and our secondary objective, the safety of the regimen.

This study was designed to assess the activity of oral topotecan (TPT) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer previously untreated with chemotherapy. Eligible patients had inoperable stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and were chemotherapy-naive. Other inclusion criteria
Camptothecins are DNA topoisomerase I-directed anti-tumour drugs with a novel mechanism of action. Topotecan (TPT), a hydrophilic derivative of camptothecin, is currently undergoing phase II clinical trials in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Human SCLC OC-NYH cells were made more than 6-fold
Topotecan and vincristine were evaluated alone or in combination against 13 independent xenografts and 1 vincristine-resistant derivative, representing childhood neuroblastoma (n = 6), rhabdomyosarcoma (n = 5), or brain tumors (n = 3). Topotecan was given by i.v. bolus on a schedule found previously
OBJECTIVE
Topotecan, a novel topoisomerase-I inhibitor, is an active agent of second-line chemotherapy for extending the platinum-free interval (PFI) and improving the chances of a response to platinum in recurrent ovarian cancer patients. The aim of this study was to understand the molecular
BACKGROUND
The results of phase II clinical trials are usually based on response of tumours to new oncolytic agents as evidenced by radiological imaging techniques. In this trial, all claimed responders were reviewed at a specially convened meeting by the peer group of study investigators and a
Metronomic chemotherapy, combined with targeted antiangiogenic drugs, has demonstrated significant anticancer efficacy in various studies. Though, tumors do acquire resistance. Here, we have investigated the effect of prolonged therapy with oral metronomic topotecan and pazopanib on tumor behavior
BACKGROUND
The aim of this phase I study was to determine the safety and tolerability and to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of orally administered olaparib (AZD2281) in combination with topotecan in patients with advanced solid tumors.
METHODS
Patients aged ≥ 18 years with histologically
OBJECTIVE
To examine the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of intravenous formulations of topotecan monotherapy, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydorocholoride (PLDH) monotherapy and paclitaxel used alone or in combination with a platinum-based compound for the second-line or subsequent
Although current treatments for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) yield objective response rates exceeding 50%, most patients relapse. Hence, research into the identification of novel agents and combinations that may improve therapy is ongoing. Topotecan, an established treatment for patients with
OBJECTIVE
Effective therapies with a low rate of side effects are warranted in the 2nd-line setting in ovarian cancer. Both topotecan and the alkylating agent treosulfan have demonstrated efficacy in this patient group and are broadly used in Germany. Therefore, we started a prospectively randomized
Platinum-based chemotherapy is considered standard treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, toxicity of most platinum-based regimens is substantial and requires close monitoring and supportive care. Over the past decade, paclitaxel, docetaxel, vinorelbine, gemcitabine,
Both weekly cisplatin chemotherapy and single agent topotecan have proven to be effective in recurrent ovarian cancer. Preclinical data show synergism between cisplatin and topotecan. Side effects for this combination are drug sequence dependent and predominantly haematologic. Since preclinical data
BACKGROUND
Topotecan has single-agent activity in recurrent ovarian cancer. It was evaluated in a novel combination compared with standard frontline therapy.
METHODS
Women aged 75 years or younger with newly diagnosed stage IIB or greater ovarian cancer, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
