There are currently no effective treatments for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with vascular invasion or extrahepatic metastases. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with S-1 and pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN)-alpha for advanced HCC.
A total of 22 patients received combination therapy with S-1 and PEG-IFN. One cycle of the combination therapy consists of oral S-1 (80 mg/m(2)) administration and subcutaneous PEG-IFN injection (PEG-IFN-alpha-2a 90 microg weekly or PEG-IFN-alpha-2b 50 microg weekly) for 4 weeks with 1- to 2-week intervals.
One patient was evaluated as complete response, 6 as partial response, 8 as stable disease, and 6 as progressive disease. One patient was not evaluable because therapy had to be discontinued as a result of jaundice. The median survival time was 15.3 months (95% CI: 4.4-26.2 months). The 1- and 2-year survival rates were 54.9 and 36.6%, respectively. The overall response rate was 31.8% and the disease control rate was 68.2%. Grade 3 neutropenia (18.2%), leukopenia (9.1%), anemia (9.1%), and thrombocytopenia (18.2%) were observed. Grade 4 toxicities were not observed.
Combination therapy with S-1 and PEG-IFN is effective and feasible, and is therefore a promising regimen for advanced HCC.
目前对于伴有血管侵犯或肝外转移的晚期肝细胞癌(HCC)患者尚无有效的治疗方法。我们评估了S-1与聚乙二醇干扰素(PEG-IFN)-α联合治疗晚期HCC的疗效和安全性。
共有22例患者接受了S-1与PEG-IFN的联合治疗。联合治疗的一个周期包括口服S-1(80mg/m²)和皮下注射PEG-IFN(PEG-IFN-α-2a 90μg每周或PEG-IFN-α-2b 50μg每周),持续4周,间隔1至2周。
1例患者评估为完全缓解,6例为部分缓解,8例为疾病稳定,6例为疾病进展。1例患者因黄疸不得不停止治疗,无法进行评估。中位生存时间为15.3个月(95%CI:4.4 - 26.2个月)。1年和2年生存率分别为54.9%和36.6%。总缓解率为31.8%,疾病控制率为68.2%。观察到3级中性粒细胞减少(18.2%)、白细胞减少(9.1%)、贫血(9.1%)和血小板减少(18.2%)。未观察到4级毒性反应。
S-1与PEG-IFN联合治疗有效且可行,因此是晚期HCC一种有前景的治疗方案。
