This study analyzed the role of plasma biomarkers for TSU-68 in a previous phase II trial comparing TSU-68 plus docetaxel and docetaxel alone in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
A total of 77 patients were eligible for this study (38 in the TSU-68 plus docetaxel arm and 39 in the docetaxel alone arm). Blood samples were collected prior to the start of each cycle, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AA, -AB, -BB, fibroblast growth factor, M30, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels were measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).
In patients with baseline PDGF-AA ≥ median, median PFS was significantly worse in the TSU-68 plus docetaxel group than in the docetaxel alone group (5.4 months vs. 13.7 months, p=0.049), while a trend toward a PFS benefit was observed in those with baseline PDGF-AA < median (9.7 months vs. 4.0 months, p=0.18; p for interaction=0.03). In the TSU-68 plus docetaxel group, PFS showed significant association with fold changes in CRP (p=0.001), IL-6 (p < .001), PDGF-BB (p=0.02), and VEGF (p=0.047) following the first treatment cycle.
Baseline PDGF-AA levels and dynamics of VEGF, PDGF-BB, CRP, and IL-6 levels were predictive for the efficacy of TSU-68.
本研究在先前的一项II期试验中分析了血浆生物标志物TSU-68的作用,该试验比较了TSU-68联合多西他赛与单纯多西他赛治疗转移性乳腺癌患者的疗效。
共有77例患者符合本研究条件(TSU-68联合多西他赛组38例,单纯多西他赛组39例)。在每个周期开始前采集血样,采用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)、血小板衍生生长因子(PDGF)-AA、-AB、-BB、成纤维细胞生长因子、M30、C反应蛋白(CRP)和白细胞介素6(IL-6)水平。主要终点为无进展生存期(PFS)。
在基线PDGF-AA≥中位数的患者中,TSU-68联合多西他赛组的中位PFS显著低于单纯多西他赛组(5.4个月对13.7个月,p=0.049),而在基线PDGF-AA<中位数的患者中观察到PFS获益的趋势(9.7个月对4.0个月,p=0.18;交互作用p=0.03)。在TSU-68联合多西他赛组中,PFS与第一个治疗周期后CRP(p=0.001)、IL-6(p<.001)、PDGF-BB(p=0.02)和VEGF(p=0.047)的变化倍数显著相关。
基线PDGF-AA水平以及VEGF、PDGF-BB、CRP和IL-6水平的动态变化可预测TSU-68的疗效。
