To explore possible improvement in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (LAPC) we performed a randomized, non-comparative phase II study evaluating docetaxel - plus either daily continuous 5 FU or weekly cisplatin concurrent to radiotherapy. We report here the results of the docetaxel plus 5 FU regimen stopped according to the interim analysis. The docetaxel plus cisplatin arm was continued.
Forty (40) chemotherapy-naive patients with unresectable LAPC were randomly assigned (1:1) to either continuous fluorouracil (5-FU) 200 mg/m(2)/day (protracted IV) and docetaxel (DCT) 20 mg/m(2)/week or DCT 20 mg/m2 and cisplatin (CDDP) 20 mg/m(2), plus concurrent radiotherapy for a period of 6 weeks. The radiation dose to the primary tumor was 54 Gy in 30 fractions. The trial's primary endpoint was the 6-month crude non-progression rate (NPR). Secondary endpoints were tolerance, objective response rate, and overall survival. Accrual was to be stopped if at 6 months more than 13 disease progressions were observed in 20 patients.
Eighteen (18) progressions occurred at 6 months in the 5-FU-DCT arm. Six-month NPR was 10% (95%CI: 0-23). Six and 12-month survivals were 85% (95%CI: 64-95) and 40% (95%CI: 22-61); median overall survival was 10.1 months. Median progression-free survival was 4.3 months. We report the case of one patient who was amenable to surgery and has been in complete response (CR) for 5.5 years. Toxicities grade ≥ 3 were reported in 75% of patients; no treatment-related death occurred. Severe toxicities were mainly vomiting (35%), abdominal pain (10%) and fatigue (10%).
Combination of 5-FU, docetaxel and radiotherapy has inadequate efficacy in the treatment of LAPC despite good tolerance for the 5-FU-DCT regimen.

为了探索局部晚期胰腺癌(LAPC)治疗的可能改善,我们进行了一项随机、非对照的 II 期研究,评估多西他赛联合每日持续 5-FU 或每周顺铂与放疗同时应用。我们在此报告根据中期分析停止的多西他赛加 5-FU 方案的结果。多西他赛加顺铂组继续进行。
40 例(40 例)初治不可切除 LAPC 患者被随机分配(1:1)接受持续氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)200mg/m2/天(持续 IV)和多西他赛(DCT)20mg/m2/周或 DCT 20mg/m2和顺铂(CDDP)20mg/m2,同时接受 6 周放疗。原发肿瘤的放射剂量为 54Gy,分 30 个剂量。该试验的主要终点是 6 个月时未经治疗的无进展率(NPR)。次要终点为耐受性、客观缓解率和总生存率。如果在 6 个月时,20 例患者中有超过 13 例疾病进展,则停止入组。
在 5-FU-DCT 组中,18 例患者在 6 个月时出现进展。6 个月 NPR 为 10%(95%CI:0-23)。6 个月和 12 个月的生存率分别为 85%(95%CI:64-95)和 40%(95%CI:22-61);中位总生存期为 10.1 个月。中位无进展生存期为 4.3 个月。我们报告了 1 例患者的病例,该患者可手术治疗,5.5 年来完全缓解(CR)。≥3 级毒性反应见于 75%的患者;无治疗相关死亡。严重毒性主要为呕吐(35%)、腹痛(10%)和乏力(10%)。
尽管 5-FU-DCT 方案的耐受性良好,但 5-FU、多西他赛和放疗联合应用治疗 LAPC 的疗效不足。
