Feasibility Study of CDDP + CPT-11 + PSK for Extensive-Stage Disease (ED) Small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine whether setting test groups of cisplatin + irinotecan + Krestin therapy as first-line treatment and chemotherapy (radiotherapy or radiotherapy + chemotherapy also allowed) combined with Krestin as second-line treatment after exacerbation and comparing with historical control or community control is appropriate as the protocol and regimen for the phase III clinical trial on extensive-stage disease (ED) small cell lung cancer.
