HYCAMTIN capsules are the only oral single-agent chemotherapy approved for the treatment of SCLC after failure of first-line therapy. The product will be available in 2008. </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; BACKGROUND: white; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><br/><br/></span><span class="newsbody1"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">"The approval of HYCAMTIN capsules is particularly important for patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer as they now have an effective treatment option that has been shown to provide a survival benefit and can be conveniently taken at home," said Dr. Debasish Roychowdhury, vice president, Global Clinical Development, Oncology at GSK.

Best supportive care refers to treatments intended to control, prevent and relieve disease complications to improve comfort and quality of life for the patient, but are not intended to have any anti-tumor effects. </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; BACKGROUND: white; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><br/><br/></span><span class="newsbody1"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">In the large multicenter trial, 70 patients with relapsed SCLC who were not considered candidates for standard intravenous therapy were randomly assigned to receive BSC alone and 71 were assigned to receive HYCAMTIN capsules plus BSC. </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; BACKGROUND: white; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><br/><br/></span><span class="newsbody1"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">The primary objective was to compare overall survival between the two treatment arms.

This represents a 36 percent reduction in the risk of death for patients who received HYCAMTIN capsules plus BSC compared with the patients who received BSC alone.

"The approval of HYCAMTIN capsules opens up new possibilities for patients battling this disease and provides a convenient alternative to IV therapy." </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; BACKGROUND: white; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><br/><br/></span><span class="newsbody1"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">The most common severe or life-threatening side effects involved the immune and blood systems with HYCAMTIN capsules linked to a severe or life-threatening loss of infection-fighting white cells (neutropenia) occurring in 61% of those treated, while 37 percent suffered severe loss of blood-clotting platelet cells and 25 percent experienced a severe or greater loss of red blood cells (anemia).

This is important because it means that surgery is rarely used as a treatment option. Chemotherapy is the most common treatment for SCLC. Although SCLC is often responsive to first-line treatments, patients may relapse. </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; BACKGROUND: white; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><br/><br/></span><span class="newsbody1"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">SCLC is most common in current or past smokers, but can also be caused by environmental risk factors such as exposure to radon and air pollution. About 15% of patients with lung cancer have SCLC, a fast-growing form of the disease. </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; BACKGROUND: white; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><br/><br/></span><span class="newsbody1"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">SOURCE: Adapted from press release by GlaxoSmithKline: Reference: O'Brien MER, Ciuleanu T-E, Tsekov H et al.

<strong><font face="楷体_GB2312" size="4">爱狗狗呦真是心细，我英文不是很好，但看得出来是小细胞肺癌，可能是楼主笔误了。葛兰素史克是国际大药厂，但是对于托泊替康的信息还很少，大家如果有这方面的资讯也欢迎跟帖。</font></strong>
