Four-drug combination chemotherapy (methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, hexamethylmelamine, and CCNU) for non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma: a Cancer and Leukemia Group B study.

Ninety-eight evaluable patients with nonresectable regional or metastatic non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma were treated with a four-drug combination chemotherapy program of methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, hexamethylmelamine, and CCNU (MCHC). Fifteen partial or complete responses (15%) were obtained, all but one of which occurred in good performance status (0-1) patients. While "responders lived longer than non-responders", this was due more to initial performance status among responding patients than to achievement of partial (greater than 50%) or complete disease regression. Evaluation of those patients with good performance status (PS 0-1), indicated no statistically significant differences in median survival time for complete response and partial response patients compared to patients with "improved" or "stable" disease status in this group. This combination of modestly active single agents produced disappointing results in our lung cancer population. A search for more active single agents in lung cancer is necessary.[1]
