Brief Summary:
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase inhibitors commonly referred to as the statins have proven therapeutic and preventative effects in cardiovascular diseases Recently there are emerging interests in their use as anticancer agents based on preclinical evidence of their antiproliferative proapoptotic anti-invasive and radiosensitizing properties Inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase by the statins interferes with the rate-limiting step of the mevalonate pathway leading to reduced levels of mevalonate and its downstream products many of which play important roles in critical cellular functions such as membrane integrity cell signaling protein synthesis and cell cycle progression Perturbations of these processes in neoplastic cells by the statins may therefore result in control of tumor initiation growth and metastasis The statins have demonstrated growth inhibitory activity in cancer cell lines and preclinical tumor models in animals Simvastatin a member of the statin family profoundly impaired basal and growth factor-stimulated SCLC cell growth in vitro and induced apoptosis SCLC cells treated with simvastatin were sensitized to the effects of the chemotherapeutic agent etoposide Moreover SCLC tumour growth in vivo was inhibited by simvastatin Therefore the investigators will conduct this phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy toxicity of irinotecancisplatin plus simvastatin in patients with chemo-naïve ED-SCLC
Detailed Description:
Cisplatin-30 mgm2 on day 1 and 8 repeat q 3 weeks Irinotecan-65 mgm2 on day1 and 8 repeat q 3 weeks Simvastatin 40 mg per day orally from D1 of cycle 1
Treatment will be continued until disease progression unacceptable toxicity or patients refusal
