Twenty-nine patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with a combination of cisplatin 20 mg/m2 days 1-3, ifosfamide 1500 mg/m2 days 1-2 (plus mesna as uroprotector) and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 days 1 and 5; filgrastim was given at the dose of 300 microg subcutaneously from day 8 to day 15. A response rate of 28% was observed. The activity of this combination in an outpatient setting, with acceptable toxicity, has been demonstrated.
