Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of biweekly administration of cisplatin and vinorelbine as adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with completely resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients and Methods: This was a single-arm, single-institutional study. Patients with completely resected NSCLC (p-Stage IB-IIIA) with no previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy were eligible. Simonกฏs optimal two-stage design was applied. Both cisplatin (50 mg/m2) and vinorelbine (25 mg/m2) were given on days 1 and 15, every 28 days. The primary endpoint of this study was the feasibility of this combination in the four cycles of treatment. Results: Twenty patients (19 lobectomies and 1 pneumonectomy) were enrolled in this study. 10 (50%) of patients had grade 3/4 neutropenia, and 3 (15%) had grade 3/4 anemia. Severe non-hematologic toxicities were uncommon in this series. No treatment-related death was encountered. 18 (90%) patients completed the planned 4 cycles of chemotherapy. The median intensity was 24.3 (range 18.1 to 25) mg/m2/week with an average of 23.6 (21 - 25) mg/m2/week cisplatin and 12.5 (range 10 to 12.5) mg/m2/week with an average of 12.3 (10 - 12.5) mg/m2/week vinorelbine.
