Brief Summary:
The primary aim of this study is to determine if the addition of valproic acid to a combination of adriamycin, cyclophosphamide and vindesine could increase progression-free survival in patients relapsing after first-line chemotherapy including platinum derivatives, cisplatin or carboplatin, and etoposide.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Drug: Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, valproic acid Phase 2
