If the dictator was spelling the drug by how it was pronounced to them and not after seeing it written, it could possibly be this one:

crizotinib

Treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 12, 2011 - Pfizer Inc. announced today that it has initiated the rolling submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for crizotinib (PF-02341066), an oral first-in-class anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are ALK-positive. Pfizer expects to complete the submission in the first half of 2011.

This is a patient who is on third line chemotherapy for metastatic small cell lung cancer. He has progressed through carbotaxol, carbo VP16 and is now on topotecan. I can't find carbotaxol or carbo VP16 and I don't have good chemo references. Is carbotaxol carboplatin and taxol? I guess my question is, should it be written carboplatin/taxol and carboplatin VP1-16? Or how should this be written? Help, I'm at a loss here. TIA!! :-) ...
