Bi-weekly administrations of nimustine hydrochloride (ACNU) plus paclitaxel were evaluated in this phase II study in patients with refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
Patients who had disease progression within 3 months after treatment with irinotecan (CPT-11)-containing regimens were entered. They were treated with every other week administrations of ACNU 50 mg/m(2) plus paclitaxel 110 mg/m(2) on day 1 over 2 weeks.
Twenty-four patients (20 males and 4 females, median age of 64 years, 17 patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] performance status [PS] 0-1 and 7 patients with PS 2) participated in the trial. Of the 24 refractory patients after CPT-11 containing regimens, 17 patients had been given etoposide plus platinum. There were six partial responses, and an overall response rate of 25% (95% confidence interval, 10-46%) was obtained. The median time to progression and the median survival time after enrollment into this study were 2.8 and 5.8 months, respectively. The median overall survival from the first-line treatment was 19.5 months. The major toxicity was myelosuppression. Grade 4 neutropenia occurred in 13% of patients, and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia was observed in 13% of patients. There was one treatment-related death, attributed to pneumonitis.
Bi-weekly administrations of ACNU plus paclitaxel provided a practical and well-tolerated regimen that was active for CPT-11-refractory SCLC.
在这项 II 期研究中,评估了盐酸尼莫司汀(ACNU)联合紫杉醇每两周给药方案在复发性小细胞肺癌(SCLC)患者中的疗效。
纳入在接受含伊立替康(CPT-11)方案治疗后 3 个月内疾病进展的患者。患者接受 ACNU 50mg/m²每两周一次联合紫杉醇 110mg/m²第 1 天给药,每 2 周为一个周期。
24 例患者(20 例男性和 4 例女性,中位年龄 64 岁,17 例患者的东部肿瘤协作组(ECOG)体力状况[PS]为 0-1,7 例患者 PS 为 2)参与了该试验。在 24 例 CPT-11 方案治疗后复发的患者中,17 例患者接受了依托泊苷联合铂类药物治疗。6 例患者获得部分缓解,总缓解率为 25%(95%置信区间,10-46%)。入组后中位无进展生存期和中位总生存期分别为 2.8 个月和 5.8 个月。一线治疗的中位总生存期为 19.5 个月。主要毒性为骨髓抑制。13%的患者出现 4 级中性粒细胞减少,13%的患者出现 4 级血小板减少。有 1 例与治疗相关的死亡,归因于肺炎。
ACNU 联合紫杉醇每两周给药方案为 CPT-11 耐药的 SCLC 提供了一种实用且耐受良好的治疗方案,具有一定的疗效。
