Laboratory data suggest a synergistic interaction between carmustine (BCNU) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) in melanoma. We therefore studied the activity of 200 mg/m2 BCNU given alone or in combination with 88 micrograms/m2 recombinant human TNF-alpha (rhTNF alpha) as a daily i.v. infusion for 5 days at 48-day intervals to patients with metastatic melanoma. In this randomised phase II trial, the rate of response to BCNU alone was 20% [95% confidence interval (CI), 2%-38%], and this was not improved by the addition of TNF (response rate, 10.5%; 95% CI, 1.3%-33%). Toxicity was higher in the combination arm, and there was no difference in survival.
实验室数据表明,卡莫司汀(BCNU)与肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)在黑色素瘤中存在协同相互作用。因此,我们对转移性黑色素瘤患者进行了研究,以200mg/m²的BCNU单独给药,或与88μg/m²重组人TNF-α(rhTNFα)联合给药,每天静脉输注,持续5天,间隔48天。在这项随机II期试验中,单独使用BCNU的缓解率为20%[95%置信区间(CI),2%-38%],添加TNF后缓解率并未提高(缓解率为10.5%;95%CI,1.3%-33%)。联合治疗组的毒性更高,生存率无差异。
