Purpose: Studies by the Veterans Administration Cooperative Studies program and Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) suggested that the addition of warfarin to chemotherapy knight enhance response and/or survival in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). This randomized study evaluated the effect of warfarin with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in limited-stage SCLC.Patients and Methods: patients were randomized to receive warfarin or no warfarin. All patients received three cycles of doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide (ACE). Cycles 4 and 5 (cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide [PCE]) were given concurrently with radiation therapy, Three cycles of ACE were given after chemoradiation therapy, but were discontinued due to ct high rate of pulmonary toxicity.Results: There were no significant differences in response rates, survival, failure-free survival, disease-free survival, or patterns of relapse between the warfarin-treated ansi control groups, in patients treated according to the initial design, an increase in failure-free survival seen with warfarin treatment approached significance (P = .07), Preamendment results, while not significant, did not have superimposable treatment survival curves. a landmark analysis at 8 months showed a median survival time after the landmark for complete responders of 33 months with warfarin treatment compared with less than or equal to 13.75 months for complete or partial responders not treated with warfarin (P = .05). Differences between the complete responders in this preamendment population were not significant (P = .103),Conclusion: Warfarin does not appear to improve outcome significantly-in limited-stage SCLC. However, the differences in some variables between populations before the protocol amendment correspond to the favorable effects of anticoagulants observed in previous studies.
