BACKGROUND: The objectives of this open-labeled, multicenter, phase II trial were to evaluate response, survival, and tolerability in patients at high risk (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status [PS] of 2 or age >= 70 years) with advanced-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving single-agent paclitaxel poliglumex as first-line monotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Paclitaxel poliglumex was administered as a 10-20-minute infusion on day 1 of each 3-week cycle. Thirty patients were enrolled: 28 received paclitaxel poliglumex 175 mg/m(2), and 2 received 235 mg/m(2). Patients exhibiting a partial response (PR; by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) or stable disease (SD) continued uninterrupted treatment with paclitaxel poliglumex for = 70 years was 7.8 months. No grade 4 nonhematologic toxicities were reported. Three patients experienced grade 3 neuropathy. Weekly hematologic assessments showed grade 3 anemia in 2 patients, grade 3 neutropenia (not associated with neutropenic fever) in 3 patients, and grade 4 neutropenia in 2 patients. No patient required growth factor support. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that paclitaxel poligiumex is generally well tolerated and has activity at a dose level of 175 mg/m(2) as first-line monotherapy in patients at high risk with advanced NSCLC.
