Phase II Trial of Gleevec (Imatinib Mesylate, STI571) Maintenance Therapy After Induction Irinotecan and Cisplatin in Patients With C-Kit Positive, Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
This study involves being treated initially with a combination of drugs called irinotecan and cisplatin (induction therapy), followed by treatment with a drug called Gleevec (maintenance therapy). The main purpose of this study is to determine if this type of treatment will delay the growth of the tumor and if so, for how long. The investigators also want to find out how the tumor is affected solely by induction therapy with irinotecan and cisplatin, what side-effects occur when Gleevec maintenance therapy is used, and if this treatment (induction followed by maintenance therapy) will improve the duration of survival
