To report an unplanned interim analysis of a prospective, one-armed, single center phase I/II trial (NCT01566123).
Between 2007 and 2013, 27 patients (pts) with primary/recurrent retroperitoneal sarcomas (size > 5 cm, M0, at least marginally resectable) were enrolled. The protocol attempted neoadjuvant IMRT using an integrated boost with doses of 45-50 Gy to PTV and 50-56 Gy to GTV in 25 fractions, followed by surgery and IOERT (10-12 Gy). Primary endpoint was 5-year-LC, secondary endpoints included PFS, OS, resectability, and acute/late toxicity. The majority of patients showed high grade lesions (FNCLCC G1:18%, G2:52%, G3:30%), predominantly liposarcomas (70%). Median tumor size was 15 cm (6-31).
Median follow-up was 33 months (5-75). Neoadjuvant IMRT was performed as planned (median dose 50 Gy, 26-55) in all except 2 pts (93%). Gross total resection was feasible in all except one patient. Final margin status was R0 in 6 (22%) and R1 in 20 pts (74%). Contiguous-organ resection was needed in all grossly resected patients. IOERT was performed in 23 pts (85%) with a median dose of 12 Gy (10-20 Gy).We observed 7 local recurrences, transferring into estimated 3- and 5-year-LC rates of 72%. Two were located outside the EBRT area and two were observed after more than 5 years. Locally recurrent situation had a significantly negative impact on local control. Distant failure was found in 8 pts, resulting in 3- and 5-year-DC rates of 63%. Patients with leiomyosarcoma had a significantly increased risk of distant failure. Estimated 3- and 5-year-rates were 40% for PFS and 74% for OS. Severe acute toxicity (grade 3) was present in 4 pts (15%). Severe postoperative complications were found in 9 pts (33%), of whom 2 finally died after multiple re-interventions. Severe late toxicity (grade 3) was scored in 6% of surviving patients after 1 year and none after 2 years.
Combination of neoadjuvant IMRT, surgery and IOERT is feasible with acceptable toxicity and yields good results in terms of LC and OS in patients with high-risk retroperitoneal sarcomas. Long term follow-up seems mandatory given the observation of late recurrences. Accrual of patients will be continued with extended follow-up.

报告一项前瞻性、单臂、单中心I/II期试验(NCT01566123)的非计划中期分析。
2007年至2013年期间,纳入了27例原发性/复发性腹膜后肉瘤患者(肿瘤大小>5 cm,M0,至少可边缘切除)。该方案尝试采用调强适形放疗(IMRT)进行新辅助治疗,采用同步加量技术,计划靶体积(PTV)剂量为45 - 50 Gy,共25次分割,大体肿瘤体积(GTV)剂量为50 - 56 Gy,共25次分割,随后进行手术和术中电子线放疗(IOERT,10 - 12 Gy)。主要终点为5年局部控制率(LC),次要终点包括无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)、可切除性以及急性/晚期毒性。大多数患者表现为高级别病变(法国国立癌症中心联合会(FNCLCC)分级:G1占18%,G2占52%,G3占30%),主要为脂肪肉瘤(70%)。肿瘤中位大小为15 cm(6 - 31 cm)。
中位随访时间为33个月(5 - 75个月)。除2例患者(93%)外,所有患者均按计划进行了新辅助IMRT(中位剂量50 Gy,26 - 55 Gy)。除1例患者外,所有患者均可行根治性切除。最终切缘状态为R0的有6例(22%),R1的有20例(74%)。所有根治性切除的患者均需要进行临近器官切除。23例患者(85%)接受了IOERT,中位剂量为12 Gy(10 - 20 Gy)。我们观察到7例局部复发,据此估算的3年和5年LC率为72%。其中2例位于调强适形放疗(EBRT)区域外,2例在5年以后出现。局部复发情况对局部控制有显著负面影响。8例患者出现远处转移,3年和5年远处转移控制率(DC)为63%。平滑肌肉瘤患者远处转移风险显著增加。估算的3年和5年PFS率分别为40%,OS率为74%。4例患者(15%)出现严重急性毒性(3级)。9例患者(33%)出现严重术后并发症,其中2例在多次再次干预后最终死亡。1年后,6%的存活患者出现严重晚期毒性(3级),2年后无严重晚期毒性病例。
新辅助IMRT、手术和IOERT联合应用是可行的,毒性可接受,对于高危腹膜后肉瘤患者,在LC和OS方面取得了良好效果。鉴于观察到晚期复发,长期随访似乎是必要的。将继续纳入患者并进行延长随访。
