      Background:
      D, a chimeric monoclonal antibody that binds cell-surface GD2 expressed on SCLC, can cause significant pain. Combined tolerability with I in RR SCLC patients (pts) is unknown.

      Methods:
      Part 1, an intrasubject dose-escalation lead in to the main study, investigated outpatient use of D + I. Eligibility: RR SCLC following first-line platinum-based therapy with a life expectancy of ≥12 weeks, PS 0-1. Pts received intravenous (IV) D and I (fixed dose 350 mg/m[2]) on Day 1 q 21-days. D was dosed 10 mg/m[2], and increased 2 mg/m[2]/cycle, if pain was < Grade 2, no opioid medications were required, and prior dose was otherwise tolerated. Doses could be decreased based on toxicity observed. Pretreatment included IV hydration, antihistamines, and antipyretics. Pts were monitored for 4 hours after D. Pts remain on treatment until intolerance, progression, or death.

      Results:
      12 pts were treated (8 male) in US and Spain. Mean (range) age was 68 (47–79) years. A median (range) of 3 (2–4) cycles were completed per pt. Median (range) D dose achieved was 14 (10–16) mg/m[2]. 121 adverse events (AEs) were reported in the Table. There were no grade (gr) 5 AEs. Pain AEs, attributable to D, were mainly gr 1 (80%), with most resolving within hours of infusion; one subject experienced gr 3 AEs, and received the same D dose in the subsequent cycle. Overall, pain did not result in D dose reductions, discontinuations or hospitalizations. Most other AEs were GI in nature and likely attributable to I.

      Conclusions:
      D up to 16 mg/m[2] + I have been tolerated with no unanticipated AEs. Part 2 of the study has begun and will randomize ∼460 subjects to: I vs. D + I vs. topotecan.
