There is no established treatment after failure of proven therapies for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
A 66-year-old Japanese man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma became refractory to interferon α and sunitinib therapies. He started treatment with axitinib at 10 mg/day, and the dose was gradually tapered down to 4 mg/day because of intolerable adverse events. His metastatic lesions shrank; however, he could not continue due to the adverse events. He started fourth-line therapy with nivolumab; however, the metastatic lesions increased. Rechallenge with axitinib 4 mg/day was started, and the dose was reduced to 2 mg/day because of adverse events. Subsequently, the adverse events became controllable, and the metastatic lesions were maintained at reduced size.
Therapeutic drug monitoring of axitinib could play an important role in the development of safe and effective therapeutic treatment and individualization of these medications.
对于转移性肾细胞癌患者,在经过验证的治疗方法失败后,尚无既定的治疗方案。
一名66岁的日本转移性肾细胞癌男性患者对干扰素α和舒尼替尼治疗产生耐药。他开始接受阿昔替尼治疗,剂量为每日10毫克,由于无法耐受的不良事件,剂量逐渐减至每日4毫克。他的转移病灶缩小;然而,由于不良事件,他无法继续治疗。他开始接受纳武单抗的四线治疗;然而,转移病灶增加。再次开始使用每日4毫克的阿昔替尼治疗,由于不良事件,剂量减至每日2毫克。随后,不良事件得到控制,转移病灶维持在缩小后的大小。
阿昔替尼的治疗药物监测在开发安全有效的治疗方法以及这些药物的个体化方面可能发挥重要作用。
