This phase III trial compared the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine plus capecitabine (GemCap) versus single-agent gemcitabine (Gem) in advanced pancreatic cancer as first-line chemotherapy.
A total of 214 advanced pancreatic cancer patients were enrolled from 16 hospitals in South Korea between 2007 and 2011. Patients were randomly assigned to receive GemCap (oral capecitabine 1660 mg/m plus Gem 1000 mg/m by 30-minute intravenous infusion weekly for 3 weeks followed by a 1-week break every 4 weeks) or Gem (by 30-minute intravenous infusion weekly for 3 weeks every 4 weeks).
Median overall survival (OS) time, the primary end point, was 10.3 and 7.5 months in the GemCap and Gem arms, respectively (P = 0.06). Progression-free survival was 6.2 and 5.3 months in the GemCap and Gem arms, respectively (P = 0.08). GemCap significantly improved overall response rate compared with Gem alone (43.7% vs 17.6%; P = 0.001). Overall frequency of grade 3 or 4 toxicities was similar in each group. Neutropenia was the most frequent grade 3 or 4 toxicity in both groups.
GemCap failed to improve OS at a statistically significant level compared to Gem treatment. This study showed a trend toward improved OS compared to Gem alone. GemCap and Gem both exhibited similar safety profiles.
本III期试验比较了吉西他滨联合卡培他滨(GemCap)与单药吉西他滨(Gem)作为晚期胰腺癌一线化疗的疗效和安全性。
2007年至2011年间,从韩国16家医院招募了总共214例晚期胰腺癌患者。患者被随机分配接受GemCap(口服卡培他滨1660mg/m²加吉西他滨1000mg/m²,通过30分钟静脉输注,每周一次,共3周,然后每4周休息1周)或Gem(每4周通过30分钟静脉输注,每周一次,共3周)。
主要终点中位总生存期(OS)在GemCap组和Gem组分别为10.3个月和7.5个月(P = 0.06)。无进展生存期在GemCap组和Gem组分别为6.2个月和5.3个月(P = 0.08)。与单独使用Gem相比,GemCap显著提高了总缓解率(43.7%对17.6%;P = 0.001)。每组3级或4级毒性的总体发生率相似。中性粒细胞减少是两组中最常见的3级或4级毒性。
与Gem治疗相比,GemCap未能在统计学上显著提高OS。本研究显示与单独使用Gem相比有OS改善的趋势。GemCap和Gem均表现出相似的安全性。
