Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This proposed phase II trial will investigate the combination of irinotecan, carboplatin and bevacizumab along with radiation in the treatment of patients with limited-stage SCLC. This study differs from our "maintenance" bevacizumab trial in that bevacizumab will begin with the initial chemotherapy treatment. Irinotecan/platinum regimens are emerging as standard treatments for patients with extensive-stage disease. Adding a novel minimally toxic agent to this regimen up front may further enhance this doublet's efficacy without contributing to toxicity. This trial will be one of the first clinical trials to evaluate a combination of targeted therapy and chemotherapy in the up front treatment of a common solid tumor.
