BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study assesses the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization using drug eluting beads (DEB), an embolizing device that slowly releases chemotherapy to decrease systemic toxicity.
Twenty-seven Child-Pugh A cirrhotics (76% male, 59% HCV) with untreated large/multifocal HCC received chemoembolization with doxorubicin loaded DEBs at doses adjusted for bilirubin and body surface (range: 47-150 mg). Clinical and analytical data were recorded at 24 and 48 h, 7, 14 and 30 days after first and second TACE. Response rate was assessed by CT at 6 months. Blood samples were obtained in 13 patients at 5, 20, 40, 60, 120 min, 6, 24, 48 and 168 h to determine doxorubicin Cmax and AUC.
DEB-TACE was well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile. Two cases developed liver abscess, one leading to death. Response rate was 75% (66.6% on intention-to-treat). Doxorubicin Cmax and AUC were significantly lower in DEB-TACE patients (78.97+/-38.3 ng/mL and 662.6+/-417.6 ng/mLmin) than in conventional TACE (2341.5+/-3951.9 ng/mL and 1812.2+/-1093.7 ng/mLmin, p=0.00002 and p=0.001, respectively). After a median follow-up of 27.6 months, 1- and 2-year survival is 92.5% and 88.9%, respectively.
Chemoembolization using DEBs is an effective procedure with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile.
背景/目的:本研究评估使用载药微球(DEB)进行经动脉化疗栓塞的安全性、药代动力学和疗效,DEB是一种可缓慢释放化疗药物以降低全身毒性的栓塞装置。
27例Child-Pugh A级肝硬化患者(76%为男性,59%为丙型肝炎病毒感染),患有未经治疗的大/多灶性肝癌,接受了经动脉化疗栓塞,使用载有多柔比星的DEB,剂量根据胆红素和体表面积进行调整(范围:47-150mg)。在首次和第二次经动脉化疗栓塞后的24小时和48小时、7天、14天和30天记录临床和分析数据。6个月时通过CT评估缓解率。在13例患者中于5分钟、20分钟、40分钟、60分钟、120分钟、6小时、24小时、48小时和168小时采集血样,以测定多柔比星的Cmax和AUC。
DEB-TACE耐受性良好,安全性可接受。2例发生肝脓肿,1例导致死亡。缓解率为75%(意向性治疗分析为66.6%)。DEB-TACE患者的多柔比星Cmax和AUC(分别为78.97±38.3ng/mL和662.6±417.6ng/mL·min)显著低于传统TACE(分别为2341.5±3951.9ng/mL和1812.2±1093.7ng/mL·min,p分别为0.00002和0.001)。中位随访27.6个月后,1年和2年生存率分别为92.5%和88.9%。
使用DEB进行化疗栓塞是一种有效的方法,药代动力学特征良好。
