The primary end point of this phase III trial was to compare the response rate (RR) of oxaliplatin (OXA) plus levo-folinic acid (l-FA) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) bolus with that of irinotecan (IRI) plus l-FA and 5-FU bolus in advanced colorectal carcinoma.
Patients with measurable metastatic colorectal carcinoma were randomly allocated to receive: IRI 200 mg/m(2) on day 1, l-FA 250 mg/m(2) intravenously plus 5-FU 850 mg/m(2) on day 2 (IRIFAFU); or OXA 100 mg/m(2) on day 1, l-FA 250 mg/m(2) plus 5-FU 1050 mg/m(2) on day 2 [OXAFAFU high dose (hd)]. Cycles were given every 2 weeks. After a planned interim analysis, OXA was reduced to 85 mg/m(2) and 5-FU to 850 mg/m(2) [OXAFAFU low dose (ld)].
Two hundred and seventy-four patients (IRIFAFU, 135; OXAFAFUhd, 71; OXAFAFUld, 68) were treated. Forty-two confirmed responses were achieved with IRIFAFU, 29 with OXAFAFUhd and 32 with OXAFAFUld. The response rate with OXAFAFU [44%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 35% to 52%] was significantly higher (P=0.029) than that of IRIFAFU (31%; 95% CI 23% to 40%). Occurrence of grade > or =3 neutropenia with OXAFAFUld was similar to that for IRIFAFU (29% versus 31%), while severe diarrhoea was significantly lower (12% versus 24%). Median failure-free survival (7 versus 5.8 months; P=0.046) and overall survival of patients (18.9 versus 15.6 months; P=0.032) were significantly prolonged with OXAFAFU.
OXAFAFU was more active and less toxic than IRIFAFU, and it should be preferred in the first-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer patients.
本III期试验的主要终点是比较奥沙利铂(OXA)联合亚叶酸钙(l-FA)和5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)推注与伊立替康(IRI)联合l-FA和5-FU推注在晚期结直肠癌中的缓解率(RR)。
可测量的转移性结直肠癌患者被随机分配接受:第1天静脉注射IRI 200 mg/m²,第2天静脉注射l-FA 250 mg/m²加5-FU 850 mg/m²(IRIFAFU);或第1天静脉注射OXA 100 mg/m²,第2天静脉注射l-FA 250 mg/m²加5-FU 1050 mg/m²[奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶高剂量组(hd)]。每2周进行一个周期治疗。在计划的中期分析后,奥沙利铂剂量降至85 mg/m²,5-氟尿嘧啶剂量降至850 mg/m²[奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶低剂量组(ld)]。
共治疗274例患者(IRIFAFU组135例;奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶高剂量组71例;奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶低剂量组68例)。IRIFAFU组有42例确诊缓解,奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶高剂量组有29例,奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶低剂量组有32例。奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶组的缓解率[44%;95%置信区间(CI)35%至52%]显著高于(P = 0.029)IRIFAFU组(31%;95%CI 23%至40%)。奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶低剂量组3级及以上中性粒细胞减少的发生率与IRIFAFU组相似(29%对31%),而严重腹泻发生率显著较低(12%对24%)。奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶组患者的无进展生存期(7个月对5.8个月;P = 0.046)和总生存期(18.9个月对15.6个月;P = 0.032)显著延长。
奥沙利铂联合亚叶酸钙和5-氟尿嘧啶比IRIFAFU更有效且毒性更低,应优先用于晚期结直肠癌患者的一线治疗。
