The aromatase inhibitors Anastrozole, Letrozole (type 2 nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors: n-SAI) and Exemestane (type 1 steroidal aromatase inactivator) are used respectively as first- and second-line hormonal therapy in postmenopausal metastatic breast cancer women. Few clinical data are published on the sequential use of different classes of aromatase inhibitors.
We report an analysis on 30 postmenopausal metastatic breast cancer women treated between January 2000 and May 2002 in 2 Italian Oncology Institutions with the hormonal sequence n-SAI (Anastrozole, Letrozole) --> Exemestane.
When receiving n-SAI (Anastrozole 8 patients and Letrozole 22 patients), 1 out of 30 women achieved a partial response, 20 of 30 patients no change (NC) > or =6 months. The analysis of the entire population treated with Exemestane showed an overall clinical benefit (CB) of 46.6 percent (14/30) with a median duration of 12 months (95%CI 6-25) and a median time to progression (TTP) of 4 months (95%CI 1-25).
These data confirm a partial lack of cross-resistance between n-SAI --> Exemestane given in sequence.
芳香化酶抑制剂阿那曲唑、来曲唑(2型非甾体芳香化酶抑制剂:n - SAI)和依西美坦(1型甾体芳香化酶灭活剂)分别用于绝经后转移性乳腺癌女性的一线和二线激素治疗。关于不同类别芳香化酶抑制剂序贯使用的临床数据鲜有发表。
我们报告了对2000年1月至2002年5月期间在2家意大利肿瘤机构接受激素序贯治疗n - SAI(阿那曲唑、来曲唑)→依西美坦的30例绝经后转移性乳腺癌女性的分析。
接受n - SAI治疗时(阿那曲唑8例患者,来曲唑22例患者),30例女性中有1例获得部分缓解,30例患者中有20例无变化(NC)≥6个月。对接受依西美坦治疗的全部人群的分析显示,总体临床获益(CB)为46.6%(14/30),中位持续时间为12个月(95%CI 6 - 25),中位疾病进展时间(TTP)为4个月(95%CI 1 - 25)。
这些数据证实了序贯给予n - SAI→依西美坦之间部分缺乏交叉耐药性。
