Many patients with lung cancers cannot receive platinum-containing regimens owing to comorbid medical conditions. We designed the PPB (paclitaxel, pemetrexed, and bevacizumab) regimen to maintain or improve outcomes while averting the unique toxicities of platinum-based chemotherapies.
We enrolled patients with untreated, advanced lung adenocarcinomas with measurable disease and no contraindications to bevacizumab. Participants received paclitaxel, 90 mg/m(2), pemetrexed, 500 mg/m(2), and bevacizumab, 10 mg/kg, every 14 days for 6 months and continued to receive pemetrexed and bevacizumab every 14 days until progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Of the 44 patients treated, 50% were women; the median age was 61 years and 89% had a Karnofsky performance status of at least 80%. We genotyped 38 patients with the following results: Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog gene (KRAS), 16; anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase gene (ALK), three; B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase gene (BRAF) V600E, two; erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 gene (HER2)/phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha gene (PIK3CA), one; epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) exon 20 insertion, one; and driver 15, none. A total of 23 patients achieved a PR (52%, 95% confidence interval: 37-68), including seven of 16 with KRAS-mutant tumors. The overall survival rate at 2 years was 43% with a median of 17 months (95% confidence interval: 10-29). Grade 3/4 treatment-related toxicities included elevated alanine transaminase level (16%), fatigue (16%), leukopenia (9%), anemia (7%), elevated aspartate transaminase level (7%), edema (5%), and pleural effusions (5%). Two patients died of respiratory failure without disease progression.
The PPB regimen produced a high response rate in patients with lung adenocarcinomas regardless of mutational status. Survival and toxicities were comparable to those in the phase II reports testing platinum-containing doublets with bevacizumab. These results justify use of the PPB regimen in fit patients in whom three-drug regimens including bevacizumab are appropriate.
许多肺癌患者由于合并其他疾病而无法接受含铂方案治疗。我们设计了PPB(紫杉醇、培美曲塞和贝伐单抗)方案,以维持或改善治疗效果,同时避免铂类化疗特有的毒性。
我们纳入了未经治疗的、具有可测量病灶且无贝伐单抗使用禁忌证的晚期肺腺癌患者。参与者每14天接受一次紫杉醇90mg/m²、培美曲塞500mg/m²和贝伐单抗10mg/kg的治疗,持续6个月,之后继续每14天接受培美曲塞和贝伐单抗治疗,直至病情进展或出现不可接受的毒性反应。
在接受治疗的44例患者中,50%为女性;中位年龄为61岁,89%的患者卡氏评分至少为80分。我们对38例患者进行了基因分型,结果如下: Kirsten大鼠肉瘤病毒癌基因同源物基因(KRAS)突变16例;间变性淋巴瘤激酶基因(ALK)突变3例;B-Raf原癌基因丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶基因(BRAF)V600E突变2例;erb-b2受体酪氨酸激酶2基因(HER2)/磷脂酰肌醇-4,5-二磷酸3-激酶催化亚基α基因(PIK3CA)突变1例;表皮生长因子受体基因(EGFR)外显子20插入突变型1例;驱动基因未发现突变15例。共有23例患者达到部分缓解(PR,52%,95%置信区间:37%-68%),其中16例KRAS突变型肿瘤患者中有7例达到PR。2年总生存率为43%,中位生存期为17个月(95%置信区间:10-29个月)。3/4级治疗相关毒性包括丙氨酸转氨酶水平升高(16%)、疲劳(16%)、白细胞减少(9%)、贫血(7%)、天冬氨酸转氨酶水平升高(7%)、水肿(5%)和胸腔积液(5%)。2例患者死于呼吸衰竭,无疾病进展。
PPB方案在肺腺癌患者中产生了较高的缓解率,无论其突变状态如何。生存率和毒性与含铂双药联合贝伐单抗的II期报告中的结果相当。这些结果证明了PPB方案在适合使用包括贝伐单抗在内的三药方案的患者中的应用价值。
