Continuous-infusion 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and calcium leucovorin plus nab-paclitaxel and oxaliplatin have been shown to be active in patients with pancreatic cancer. As a protracted low-dose infusion, 5FU is antiangiogenic, and has synergy with bevacizumab. As shown in the treatment of breast cancer, bevacizumab and nab-paclitaxel are also synergetic.
In this paper we retrospectively analyze the survival of 65 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who were treated with low-dose continuous (metronomic) chemotherapy given in conjunction with conventional anti-VEGF therapy.
Since July of 2008, we have treated 65 patients with 5FU (180 mg/m/day × 14 days) via an ambulatory pump. Calcium leucovorin (20 mg/m IV), nab-paclitaxel (60 mg/m) IV as a 30-min infusion, and oxaliplatin (50 mg/m) IV as a 60-min infusion were given on days 1, 8, and 15. Bevacizumab (5 mg/kg) IV over 30 min was administered on days 1 and 15. Cycles were repeated every 28-35 days. There were 42 women and 23 men, and the median age was 59 years. Forty-six patients had stage IV disease.
The median survival was 19 months, with 82% of patients surviving 12 months or longer. The overall response rate was 49%. There were 28 patients who had received prior treatment, 15 of whom responded to therapy. Fifty-two patients had elevated CA 19-9 prior to treatment. Of these, 21 patients had 90% or greater reduction in CA 19-9 levels. This cohort had an objective response rate of 71% and a median survival of 27 months. Thirty patients stopped treatment due to disease progression, and an additional 22 stopped because of toxicity. One patient died while on therapy.
This non-gemcitabine-based regimen resulted in higher response rates and better survival than what is commonly observed with therapy given at conventional dosing schedules. Low-dose continuous (metronomic therapy) cytotoxic chemotherapy combined with antiangiogenic therapy is safe and effective.
持续输注氟尿嘧啶(5FU)和亚叶酸钙加 nab-紫杉醇和奥沙利铂已被证明对胰腺癌患者有效。作为一种延长的低剂量输注,5FU 具有抗血管生成作用,并与贝伐珠单抗具有协同作用。如在乳腺癌治疗中所示,贝伐珠单抗和 nab-紫杉醇也具有协同作用。
在本文中,我们回顾性分析了 65 例晚期胰腺癌患者的生存情况,这些患者接受了低剂量连续(节拍)化疗联合常规抗 VEGF 治疗。
自 2008 年 7 月以来,我们通过便携式泵为 65 例患者输注 5FU(180mg/m/天×14 天)。亚叶酸钙(20mg/m 静脉注射)、nab-紫杉醇(60mg/m)静脉注射 30 分钟,奥沙利铂(50mg/m)静脉注射 60 分钟,均在第 1、8 和 15 天给予。贝伐珠单抗(5mg/kg)静脉输注 30 分钟,在第 1 和第 15 天给予。每 28-35 天重复一个周期。其中女性 42 例,男性 23 例,中位年龄 59 岁。46 例患者为 IV 期疾病。
中位生存时间为 19 个月,82%的患者存活 12 个月或更长时间。总体缓解率为 49%。有 28 例患者之前接受过治疗,其中 15 例对治疗有反应。52 例患者在治疗前 CA19-9 升高。其中,21 例患者的 CA19-9 水平降低 90%或更多。该队列的客观缓解率为 71%,中位生存时间为 27 个月。30 例患者因疾病进展停止治疗,另有 22 例因毒性停止治疗。1 例患者在治疗期间死亡。
与常规剂量方案治疗相比,这种非吉西他滨为基础的方案导致更高的缓解率和更好的生存。低剂量连续(节拍治疗)细胞毒化疗联合抗血管生成治疗是安全有效的。
