In vivo study of vinorelbine associations with cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil or actinomycin D relative to a non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLCN6-L16).
Vinorelbine (NavelbineR) is a new antitumor agent chemically related to the Vinca alkaloid group, but differentiated by its in vivo activity relative to non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Studies in the NSCLC-bearing nude mouse of vinorelbine associations with drugs currently used clinically in phase III (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil and actinomycin D) showed that such associations are ineffective or even of negative value and that it would be preferable to use vinorelbine alone in a single dose at the maximum tolerated concentration.
