Second-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic gastric cancer (MGC) pre-treated with cisplatin is not a standard option. We studied a combination of irinotecan, fluorouracil and folates.
Patients progressive to cisplatin-based chemotherapy were enrolled. Irinotecan 180 mg/m(2), folinic acid 200 mg/m(2), and fluorouracil 400 mg/m(2) were given on day 1, immediately followed by fluorouracil 2,400 mg/m(2) 46 h continuous infusion (simplified FOLFIRI), every 2 weeks.
Between June 2002 and May 2003, 28 patients were treated. Median age was 57 years (range 38-68). Most patients had a distal primary (90%), and metastatic disease (71%). Partial response was obtained in six patients (21%, 95% CI 8-41) and stable disease in eight (21%, 95% CI 13-41). Among the six responsive patients three were refractory to docetaxel. At a median follow-up of 2.9 years median time to progression was 4 months (95% CI: 2-5), and median overall survival was 5 months (95% CI 4-9). Toxicity was mild, without treatment-related deaths or life-treating adverse events.
Simplified FOLFIRI was moderately active and well tolerated in unselected patients with MGC pre-treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Its role in patients refractory to taxanes is promising and warrants further investigation.
对于接受过顺铂预处理的转移性胃癌(MGC)患者,二线化疗并非标准选择。我们研究了伊立替康、氟尿嘧啶和叶酸的联合用药方案。
纳入对基于顺铂的化疗方案产生进展的患者。在第1天给予伊立替康180mg/m²、亚叶酸钙200mg/m²和氟尿嘧啶400mg/m²,随后立即给予氟尿嘧啶2400mg/m²持续46小时静脉滴注(简化FOLFIRI方案),每2周重复一次。
2002年6月至2003年5月期间,共治疗了28例患者。中位年龄为57岁(范围38 - 68岁)。大多数患者为远端原发性肿瘤(90%),且伴有转移性疾病(71%)。6例患者获得部分缓解(21%,95%CI 8 - 41),8例病情稳定(21%,95%CI 13 - 41)。在6例有反应的患者中,3例对多西他赛耐药。中位随访2.9年,中位疾病进展时间为4个月(95%CI:2 - 5),中位总生存期为5个月(95%CI 4 - 9)。毒性反应较轻,未出现与治疗相关的死亡或危及生命的不良事件。
简化FOLFIRI方案在未选择的接受过基于顺铂化疗的MGC患者中具有适度的活性且耐受性良好。其在对紫杉烷类耐药患者中的作用前景广阔,值得进一步研究。
