To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of ICE (ifosfamide 1.5 g m(-2), carboplatin 100 mg m(-2) and etoposide 150 mg m(-2), days 1-4, q 28 days, G-CSF 5 microg kg(-1) starting from day 6) alone and in combination with regional hyperthermia (RHT) in soft tissue sarcoma (STS) refractory to previous standard doxorubicin-ifosfamide-based chemotherapy.
Twenty patients with advanced STS of different histological sub-types were treated with the ICE regimen with 13 patients receiving additional RHT. A median of four courses of ICE were administered with RHT on days 1 and 3 (60 min, T(max) 42 degrees C).
The objective response rate was 20%, with four partial responses (all treated with hyperthermia). In addition, two patients showed mixed responses and five patients stable disease. After a median follow-up time of 15 months, median time to progression was 6 months. Progression free rate estimates were 60% and 45% at 3 and 6 months, respectively. Median overall survival for all patients was 14.6 months.
These results suggest that ICE alone or combined with RHT shows activity as second-line therapy in doxorubicin-ifosfamide-refractory STS.
评估ICE方案(异环磷酰胺1.5 g m⁻²、卡铂100 mg m⁻²和依托泊苷150 mg m⁻²,第1 - 4天,每28天重复,从第6天开始使用粒细胞集落刺激因子5 μg kg⁻¹)单独使用及联合区域热疗(RHT)治疗既往对基于阿霉素-异环磷酰胺的标准化疗耐药的软组织肉瘤(STS)的疗效和安全性。
20例不同组织学亚型的晚期STS患者接受ICE方案治疗,其中13例患者接受了额外的RHT。ICE方案平均给予4个疗程,RHT在第1天和第3天进行(60分钟,最高温度42℃)。
客观缓解率为20%,有4例部分缓解(均接受了热疗)。此外,2例患者表现为混合反应,5例患者病情稳定。中位随访时间15个月后,中位进展时间为6个月。3个月和6个月时的无进展率估计分别为60%和45%。所有患者的中位总生存期为14.6个月。
这些结果表明,ICE单独使用或联合RHT作为二线治疗方案,对阿霉素-异环磷酰胺耐药的STS具有活性。
