摘要: Purpose: The purpose of our study was to assess the objective response imatinib administered patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Experimental Design: Eligible were those SCLC who either had chemotherapy-naive extensive-stage or in a sensitive relapse. Patients enrolled on trial treated 600 mg daily. assessed using Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) criteria after 3 and 6 weeks. Tumor specimens examined by immunohistochemistry for KIT receptor. Results: Nineteen entered study, including 16 men women. Nine previously untreated disease 10 A central pathology review confirmed only 14 19 patients. There no responses; however, one patient sensitive-relapse prolonged stabilization (>3 months) while therapy. median time progression 0.8 months (range, 0.6–1.3 1.2 0.2–4.1 groups, respectively. tissue samples from 4 (21%) receptor (CD117). Conclusions: observed antitumor activity this limited Phase II SCLC, which few tumors showed expression target. results are, thus, inconclusive about against targeted Further testing will focus demonstration setting histology.
