“…Also, carboplatin produces more hematologic toxicity than cisplatin. Gebbia et al30 used the combination of vinorelbine, 25 mg/m 2 , on days 1 and 8, and cisplatin, 80 mg/m 2 , on day 1 in patients with previously untreated or recurrent tumors. In the group of 20 patients with recurrent diseases, the response rate was 55%, with 15% complete responses.…”

“…Based on the results of previous phase I/II studies, which found VNR to be an active and tolerable drug in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung [6,7], esophagus [10] and head and neck [8,9,11] when combined with cisplatinum, we initiated a phase II trial to assess the tolerance and activity of VNR in combination with the platinum analogue carboplatin in recurrent HNSCC.…”

“…During the past 6 years, VNR has undergone extensive clinical evaluation and has shown activity in a number of malignancies including breast cancer [5] and non-small cell lung cancer [6,7]. Based on these results, the potential synergistic activity of VNR and carboplatin and promising results of the combination of cisplatin and VNR in HNSCC [8,9], we have initiated this phase II trial.…”

“…80 mg/m 2 Cisplatin an Tag 1 und 25 mg/m 2 Vinorelbin an den Tagen 1 und 8 wurden bei 35 Patienten eingesetzt, von denen 20 ein Rezidiv nach vorangegangener lokaler Therapie hatten und 15 ein nicht vorbehandeltes lokal nicht resezierbares Karzinom. Die Ansprechrate in der Rezidivsituation betrug 55 % im Vergleich zu 87 % in der Primärtherapie [23]. In den beiden folgenden Studien wurde bei gleicher Dosis von Cisplatin und Vinorelbin zusätzlich 600 mg/m 2 5-FU als vierstündliche Infusion an den Tagen 2 bis 5 verabreicht: 80 vorbehandelte Patienten mit Rezidiv nach Operation (47 Patienten), Bestrahlung (2 Patienten) oder Operation und Bestrahlung (31 Patienten) [22] und 60 nicht vorbehandelte Patienten wurden untersucht [24].…”
