A novel schema of intrapatient dose escalation was applied to determine a population-based maximum tolerated dose (pMTD) for irinotecan (CPT-11, Camptosar) and carboplatin (Paraplatin) in a phase I trial. A total of 74 patients with advanced solid tumors were enrolled with the following characteristics: men/women, 46/28; median age, 61 years; 51 patients with and 23 patients without prior chemotherapy; performance status of 0-1 (93%) and 2 (7%). Patients were started at dose level 1 with irinotecan at 200 mg/m2, and carboplatin at an area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of 5 mg/mL x min, administered every 21 days. Depending on degree of toxicity observed, the dose for each patient in each subsequent cycle was determined according to a predetermined schema of dose levels. Individual maximum tolerated dose (iMTD) was determined for each patient. The pMTD was defined as the highest dose level for which the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity occurred in less than 33% of the patient population. The most common dose-limiting toxicity included neutropenia (58%), thrombocytopenia (15%), diarrhea (8%), and nausea/emesis (7%). The iMTD ranged from dose level-3 (irinotecan at 100 mg/m2 and carboplatin at an AUC of 4) to dose level 5 (irinotecan at 350 mg/m2 and carboplatin at AUC 6). The pMTD was determined to be dose level-1 and 1 for previously chemotherapy-treated and--untreated patients, respectively. Fifty-nine patients were assessable for response. Of note, a response rate of 40% was observed in 15 patients with relapsed small-cell lung cancer previously treated with platinum-based therapy. We recommend dose level 1 of irinotecan (200 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC 5) for chemotherapynaive patients, and dose level-1 of irinotecan (150 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC 5) for chemotherapy-treated patients in phase II trials.
在一项I期试验中,采用了一种新的患者体内剂量递增方案来确定基于人群的伊立替康(CPT-11,开普拓)和卡铂(顺铂)的最大耐受剂量(pMTD)。共纳入74例晚期实体瘤患者,其特征如下:男性/女性为46/28;中位年龄61岁;51例患者接受过化疗,23例未接受过化疗;体能状态为0 - 1(93%)和2(7%)。患者从剂量水平1开始,伊立替康剂量为200 mg/m²,卡铂浓度 - 时间曲线下面积(AUC)为5 mg/mL·min,每21天给药一次。根据观察到的毒性程度,每个后续周期中每位患者的剂量根据预定的剂量水平方案确定。为每位患者确定个体最大耐受剂量(iMTD)。pMTD定义为剂量限制毒性发生率在不到33%的患者群体中出现的最高剂量水平。最常见的剂量限制毒性包括中性粒细胞减少(58%)、血小板减少(15%)、腹泻(8%)和恶心/呕吐(7%)。iMTD范围从剂量水平3(伊立替康100 mg/m²和AUC为4的卡铂)到剂量水平5(伊立替康350 mg/m²和AUC为6的卡铂)。对于先前接受过化疗和未接受过化疗的患者,pMTD分别确定为剂量水平1和1。59例患者可评估疗效。值得注意的是,在15例先前接受过铂类治疗的复发性小细胞肺癌患者中观察到40%的缓解率。我们建议在II期试验中,对于未接受过化疗的患者,伊立替康(200 mg/m²)和卡铂(AUC 5)采用剂量水平1,对于接受过化疗的患者,伊立替康(150 mg/m²)和卡铂(AUC 5)采用剂量水平1。
