Patients with advanced gastric cancer have a relatively poor prognosis with few therapeutic alternatives beyond first-line therapy. The purpose of this manuscript is to highlight the potential for prolonged responses in patients with HER-2-positive disease. Patients, materials & methods: We analyzed the data of patients diagnosed with HER-2-positive-advanced gastric cancer who progressed on trastuzumab-based combination therapy and subsequently received second-line therapy consisting of ramucirumab in combination with paclitaxel.
Most patients had a stable disease after ramucirumab-based therapy (50%, 5/10), median duration to disease control was 8 months.
The prolonged duration of response that we observed indicates that an interaction between the EGF pathway and the angiogenesis pathway requires further clinical investigations.
晚期胃癌患者的预后相对较差,一线治疗以外的治疗选择有限。本文旨在强调 HER-2 阳性疾病患者可能获得长期缓解。
患者、材料和方法:我们分析了接受曲妥珠单抗为基础的联合治疗后进展,随后接受雷莫芦单抗联合紫杉醇二线治疗的 HER-2 阳性晚期胃癌患者的数据。
大多数患者在接受雷莫芦单抗治疗后疾病稳定(50%,5/10),疾病控制的中位时间为 8 个月。
我们观察到的反应持续时间延长表明,EGF 通路和血管生成通路之间的相互作用需要进一步的临床研究。
