Topotecan Hydrochloride or Cyclodextrin-Based Polymer-Camptothecin CRLX101 in Treating Patients With Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving topotecan hydrochloride or cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101 works in treating patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet know whether topotecan hydrochloride is more effective than cyclodextrin-based polymer-camptothecin CRLX101 in treating patients with lung cancer.
