Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Arm A

    Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 i.v., day 1, Etoposide 100 mg/m2 i.v., days 1-3

    Drug: Intravenous etoposide/cisplatin

  • Experimental
    Arm B

    Topotecan 1 mg/ m2, i.v., days 1-5 Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 i.v., days 5

    Drug: Intravenous topotecan/cisplatin

Interventions

  • DrugIntravenous topotecan/cisplatin

    Topotecan 1 mg/m2 should be administered intravenously over a period of 30 minutes on days 1-5. Then a 30 minute saline flush should be administered followed by the cisplatin on day 5. Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 given as an intravenous infusion at the rate of 1 mg/min on day 5 after topotecan.

  • DrugIntravenous etoposide/cisplatin

    Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 given as an intravenous infusion at the rate of 1 mg/min on day 1. Cisplatin should be given simultaneously to post-hydration to ensure a high volume fluid. Etoposide 100 mg/m2 should be administered after cisplatin intravenously over a period not less than 30 minutes on days 1 -3.
