The aim of this phase I study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to evaluate the toxicity of the biweekly paclitaxel and carboplatin combination chemotherapy in frail patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Seventeen unresectable and previously untreated NSCLC patients participated in this study. Frail patients (>80 years old with PS 0-1 and adequate organ functions, or <80 years old with PS 2 or <80 with PS 0-1 and one inadequate organ function of bone marrow, liver, or kidney) of NSCLC were enrolled in this study. Both paclitaxel and carboplatin were administered on day 1 and repeated biweekly. The starting dose of paclitaxel 120 mg/m2 and carboplatin was AUC 3 /d on day 1 every 2 weeks for 4 to 8 cycles.
Seventeen frail patients received a total of 1 to 10 cycles. The major hematologic toxicity was neutropenia. Nonhematologic toxicities, including numbness and constipation, were generally mild and reversible. The MTD of paclitaxel were determined as 140 mg/m2. The recommended phase II study dose of paclitaxel was determined as 120 mg/m2 with area under the curve 3 biweekly for 1 day. An objective response was observed in 8 of 17 patients (47%) with frail patients.
The combination chemotherapy of biweekly paclitaxel and carboplatin appears to be tolerable and sufficiently effective in frail patients with NSCLC. A phase II trial is underway.
本I期研究的目的是确定最大耐受剂量(MTD),并评估每两周一次的紫杉醇和卡铂联合化疗对晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)体弱患者的毒性。
17例不可切除且未经治疗的NSCLC患者参与了本研究。纳入了NSCLC体弱患者(年龄>80岁且PS为0 - 1且器官功能良好,或年龄<80岁且PS为2,或年龄<80岁且PS为0 - 1且骨髓、肝脏或肾脏有一项器官功能不良)。紫杉醇和卡铂均在第1天给药,每两周重复一次。紫杉醇起始剂量为120mg/m²,卡铂在第1天的剂量为AUC 3/d,每2周一次,共进行4至8个周期。
17例体弱患者共接受了1至10个周期的治疗。主要血液学毒性为中性粒细胞减少。非血液学毒性,包括麻木和便秘,一般较轻且可逆。紫杉醇的MTD确定为140mg/m²。推荐的II期研究剂量为紫杉醇120mg/m²,曲线下面积为3,每两周给药1天。17例体弱患者中有8例(47%)观察到客观缓解。
每两周一次的紫杉醇和卡铂联合化疗在NSCLC体弱患者中似乎耐受性良好且疗效充分。一项II期试验正在进行中。
