Irinotecan has been introduced to improve the treatment of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). We conducted a trial involving a 3-week schedule of irinotecan combined with cisplatin (IP) to validate the efficacy and toxicity of this regimen in patients with previously untreated extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC).
Twenty-eight patients with previously untreated ES-SCLC were enrolled in the study between January 2003 and December 2005. Irinotecan 60 mg/m(2) was administered intravenously on days 1 and 8 in combination with cisplatin 60 mg/m(2) on day 1 every 21 days.
Twenty-eight patients were followed until July 2007. The median follow-up time was 15.6 months. The actual dose intensities (DIs) of cisplatin and irinotecan were 97.7 and 92.2%, respectively. Among the 28 ES-SCLC patients, the objective response rate was 89.3% (25 patients). The major grade 3/4 hematological toxicity was neutropenia (26.9% of cycles). Grade 3/4 non-hematological toxicities were rare. The median progression-free and overall survival times were 8.7 and 16.5 months, with a 1-year survival rate of 66.6% and 2-year survival rate of 22.2%.
The 3-week schedule of IP was feasible and showed a high DI of irinotecan and decreased toxicity.
伊立替康已被用于改善小细胞肺癌(SCLC)的治疗。我们开展了一项试验,采用伊立替康联合顺铂(IP)的3周方案,以验证该方案对既往未治疗的广泛期小细胞肺癌(ES-SCLC)患者的疗效和毒性。
2003年1月至2005年12月期间,28例既往未治疗的ES-SCLC患者入组本研究。每21天为一周期,第1天静脉给予顺铂60mg/m²,第1天和第8天静脉给予伊立替康60mg/m²。
28例患者随访至2007年7月。中位随访时间为15.6个月。顺铂和伊立替康的实际剂量强度(DI)分别为97.7%和92.2%。28例ES-SCLC患者中,客观缓解率为89.3%(25例患者)。主要的3/4级血液学毒性为中性粒细胞减少(占周期数的26.9%)。3/4级非血液学毒性罕见。中位无进展生存期和总生存期分别为8.7个月和16.5个月,1年生存率为66.6%,2年生存率为22.2%。
IP的3周方案可行,伊立替康的剂量强度高且毒性降低。
