NSABP C-06 demonstrated the non-inferiority of oral adjuvant uracil and tegafur plus leucovorin (UFT/LV) to weekly fluorouracil and folinate (5-FU/LV) with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) for stage II/III colon cancer. This is the first report of JCOG0205, which compared UFT/LV to standard 5-FU/levofolinate (l-LV) for stage III colorectal cancer patients who have undergone Japanese D2/D3 lymph node dissection.
Patients were randomised to three courses of 5-FU/l-LV (5-FU 500 mg/m(2), l-LV 250 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36 every 8 weeks) or five courses of UFT/LV (UFT 300 mg m(-2)day(-1), LV 75 mg/day on days 1-28 every 5 weeks). The primary end-point was DFS. The sample size was 1100 determined with one-sided alpha of 0.05, power of 0.78 and non-inferiority margin of hazard ratio of 1.27. This trial is registered with UMIN-CTR (C000000193).
Between February 2003 and November 2006, 1,101 patients (1092 eligible patients) were randomised to 5-FU/l-LV (n=550) or UFT/LV (n=551). Median age: 61 years, colon/rectum: 67%/33%, number of positive nodes ⩽3/>3: 73%/27%, stage IIIa/IIIb: 75%/25%. The hazard ratio of DFS was 1.02 (91.3% confidence interval, 0.84-1.23), demonstrating the non-inferiority of UFT/LV (P=0.0236). Five-year overall survival (87.5%) was higher than that in NSABP C-06 (69.6%). Grade 3/4 toxicities were 8.4% neutropenia in 5-FU/l-LV and 8.7% alanine aminotransferase elevation in UFT/LV, respectively. The incidences of diarrhoea (9.6% versus 8.5%) and anorexia (4.0% versus 3.7%) were similar between the two arms. No treatment-related deaths were reported.
Adjuvant UFT/LV is non-inferior to standard 5-FU/l-LV with respect to DFS. UFT/LV should be an oral treatment option for patients with stage III colon cancer who have undergone Japanese D2/D3 lymph node dissection.
NSABP C - 06研究表明,对于II/III期结肠癌患者,口服辅助药物尿嘧啶替加氟加亚亚亚(UFT/LV)在无病生存期(DFS)方面不劣于每周使用氟尿嘧啶和亚叶酸(5 - FU/LV)。这是JCOG0205的首次报告,该研究比较了UFT/LV与标准5 - FU/亚叶酸钙(l - LV)对接受日本D2/D3淋巴结清扫术的III期结直肠癌患者的疗效。
患者被随机分为三组,接受三个疗程的5 - FU/l - LV(5 - FU 500 mg/m²,l - LV 250 mg/m²,在第1、8、15、22、29、36天,每8周一次)或五个疗程的UFT/LV(UFT 300 mg m⁻²天⁻¹,LV 75 mg/天,在第1 - 28天,每5周一次)。主要终点是DFS。样本量为1100,单侧α为0.05,检验效能为0.78,非劣效性界值为风险比1.27。该试验已在UMIN - CTR注册(C000000193)。
2003年2月至2006年11月,1101例患者(1092例符合条件)被随机分为5 - FU/l - LV组(n = 550)或UFT/LV组(n = 551)。中位年龄:61岁,结肠癌/直肠癌:67%/33%,阳性淋巴结数≤3/>3:73%/27%,IIIa/IIIb期:75%/25%。DFS的风险比为1.02(91.3%置信区间,0.84 - 1.23),表明UFT/LV不劣于5 - FU/l - LV(P = 0.0236)。五年总生存率(87.5%)高于NSABP C - 06研究中的(69.6%)。3/4级毒性反应方面,5 - FU/l - LV组中性粒细胞减少为8.4%,UFT/LV组丙氨酸转氨酶升高为8.7%。两组腹泻(9.6%对8.5%)和厌食(4.0%对3.7%)的发生率相似。未报告与治疗相关的死亡病例。
辅助使用UFT/LV在DFS方面不劣于标准的5 - FU/l - LV。对于接受日本D2/D3淋巴结清扫术的III期结肠癌患者,UFT/LV应是一种口服治疗选择。
