To examine the response rate of gross chemo-refractory breast cancer treated with concurrent capecitabine (CAP) and radiation therapy in a prospective Phase II study.
Breast cancer patients with inoperable disease after chemotherapy, residual nodal disease after definitive surgical resection, unresectable chest wall or nodal recurrence after a prior mastectomy, or oligometastatic disease were eligible. Response by RECIST criteria was assessed after 45 Gy. Conversion to operable, locoregional control, and grade ≥3 toxicities were assessed. The first 9 patients received CAP 825 mg/m twice daily continuously. Because of toxicity, subsequent patients received CAP only on radiation days. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence-free survival.
From 2009 to 2012, 32 patients were accrued; 26 received protocol-specified treatment. Median follow-up was 12.9 months (interquartile range, 7.10-42.9 months). Nineteen patients (73%) had partial or complete response. Fourteen patients (53.9%) experienced grade 3 non-dermatitis toxicity (7 of 9 continuous dosing). Three of four inoperable patients converted to operable. One-year actuarial OS in the treated cohort was 54%. The trial was stopped early after interim analysis suggested futility independent of response. Treatment was deemed futile (ie, conversion to operable but M1 disease immediately postoperatively) in 9 of 10 patients with triple-negative (TN) versus 6 of 16 with non-TN disease (P=.014). Median OS and 1-year locoregional recurrence-free survival among non-TN versus TN patients was 22.8 versus 5.1 months, and 63% versus 20% (P=.007).
Capecitabine can be safely administered on radiation days with careful clinical monitoring and was associated with encouraging response in this chemo-refractory cohort. However, patients with TN breast cancer had poor outcomes even when response was achieved. Further study in non-TN patients may be warranted.
在一项前瞻性II期研究中,检测同步使用卡培他滨(CAP)和放射治疗对大体化疗难治性乳腺癌的缓解率。
符合条件的乳腺癌患者包括化疗后无法手术的疾病、根治性手术切除后残留淋巴结疾病、先前乳房切除术后不可切除的胸壁或淋巴结复发,或寡转移疾病。45 Gy后根据RECIST标准评估缓解情况。评估转为可手术状态、局部区域控制情况以及≥3级毒性反应。前9例患者连续每日两次接受825 mg/m的CAP治疗。由于毒性反应,后续患者仅在放疗日接受CAP治疗。采用Kaplan-Meier分析来估计总生存期(OS)和局部区域无复发生存期。
2009年至2012年,共纳入32例患者;26例接受了方案规定的治疗。中位随访时间为12.9个月(四分位间距,7.10 - 42.9个月)。19例患者(73%)有部分或完全缓解。14例患者(53.9%)出现3级非皮肤毒性反应(9例连续给药患者中有7例)。4例无法手术的患者中有3例转为可手术状态。治疗队列中1年精算OS为54%。中期分析表明无效且与缓解无关后,试验提前终止。三阴性(TN)的10例患者中有9例治疗被认为无效(即转为可手术但术后立即为M1期疾病),而非TN疾病的16例患者中有6例(P = 0.014)。非TN患者与TN患者的中位OS以及1年局部区域无复发生存率分别为22.8个月对5.1个月,以及63%对20%(P = 0.007)。
卡培他滨在放疗日可通过仔细的临床监测安全给药,并且在这个化疗难治性队列中与令人鼓舞的缓解相关。然而,即使实现缓解,TN乳腺癌患者的预后也较差。可能有必要对非TN患者进行进一步研究。
