title: Phase II trial of mitoxantrone and cisplatin in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
abstract: Because in vitro data suggest that mitoxantrone may be synergistic with cisplatin, a Phase II trial of mitoxantrone and cisplatin was conducted in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSLC). Twenty-four patients were evaluable for response. Toxicity was tolerable. Partial response occurred in three patients (13%). This response rate is similar to that reported for cisplatin alone in NSLC. Mitoxantrone did not improve the response rate when combined with cisplatin for patients with advanced NSLC.
