Little data exists predicting the resistance to actinomycin D (Act-D) single-agent for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). The objective was to determine the overall success of pulse Act-D and the factors predictive of resistance to pulse Act-D in the treatment of low-risk, non-choriocarcinoma post-molar GTN.
From January 2013 to October 2016, according to the FIGO criteria for the diagnosis of post-molar disease and the FIGO risk-factor scoring system for GTN, a total of 135 patients with post-molar non-choriocarcinoma GTN who were chemotherapy-naive with a FIGO score < 7 were treated with single-agent pulse Act-D as a first-line regimen, in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The pulse Act-D regimen is defined as 1.25 mg/m (max 2 mg) IV push every other week. All patients were followed until May 2017. Epidemiological and clinical data were compared between patients with remission and resistance to Act-D to determine predictive factors by univariate and multivariate analysis.
Ninety-six of 135 patients (71.1%) achieved complete remission after first-line chemotherapy of pulse Act-D. In multivariate analysis, existing invasive uterine lesions observed by pre-chemotherapy transvaginal ultrasound (odds ratio [OR] 7.5, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 2.7-20.8), FIGO score ≥ 5 (OR 15.2, 95% CI 1.5-156.1) and pre-chemotherapy levels of β-hCG ≥ 4000 IU/L (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.2-8.3) were independent high-risk factors predicting resistance to pulse Act-D as single-agent chemotherapy. During follow-up, no relapse, treatment-associated serious adverse events, or death occurred.
As first-line chemotherapy, pulse Act-D was effective and tolerable for patients with low-risk post-molar non-choriocarcinoma. Existing invasive uterine lesions observed by pre-chemotherapy transvaginal ultrasound, a FIGO score ≥ 5, and pre-chemotherapy levels of β-hCG ≥ 4000 IU/L were independent factors for resistance to pulse Act-D.
关于放线菌素 D(Act-D)单药治疗妊娠滋养细胞肿瘤(GTN)耐药性的数据很少。本研究的目的是确定脉冲 Act-D 的总体疗效,并确定低危、非绒癌性葡萄胎后 GTN 患者对脉冲 Act-D 耐药的预测因素。
根据国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)诊断绒癌后疾病的标准和 GTN 的 FIGO 危险因素评分系统,2013 年 1 月至 2016 年 10 月,在我院对 135 例化疗初治、FIGO 评分<7 的低危、非绒癌性葡萄胎后 GTN 患者采用单药脉冲 Act-D 作为一线治疗方案。脉冲 Act-D 方案定义为每两周静脉推注 1.25mg/m(最大 2mg)。所有患者均随访至 2017 年 5 月。比较 Act-D 缓解组和耐药组患者的流行病学和临床资料,采用单因素和多因素分析确定预测因素。
135 例患者中,96 例(71.1%)经一线化疗脉冲 Act-D 治疗后完全缓解。多因素分析显示,化疗前经阴道超声检查发现的子宫内浸润性病变(优势比 [OR] 7.5,95%置信区间 [CI] 2.7-20.8)、FIGO 评分≥5(OR 15.2,95%CI 1.5-156.1)和化疗前β-HCG≥4000IU/L(OR 3.1,95%CI 1.2-8.3)是预测脉冲 Act-D 单药化疗耐药的独立高危因素。随访期间,无复发、与治疗相关的严重不良事件或死亡发生。
作为一线化疗方案,脉冲 Act-D 治疗低危绒癌后非绒癌性 GTN 有效且耐受良好。化疗前经阴道超声检查发现的子宫内浸润性病变、FIGO 评分≥5 和化疗前β-HCG≥4000IU/L 是脉冲 Act-D 耐药的独立因素。
