The results of this phase I study suggest that a regimen of sequential dose-dense topotecan and carboplatin plus etoposide is feasible, and the preliminary activity observed in patients with SCLC warrants further investigation at a starting dose of topotecan 2.25 mg/m2/day.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
