Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCA) presents a rising incidence in the United States. Standard of care for locally advanced disease is comprised of infusional 5-fluorouracil with mitomycin C or cisplatin concurrent with radiation therapy (RT). We designed this trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a more convenient regimen composed of capecitabine and oxaliplatin.
This was a single-arm, phase II trial, with treatment-naive stage II to IIIB (TX,1-4NxM0) SCCA patients. The regimen was composed of capecitabine (825 mg/m twice per day for 5 days) and oxaliplatin (50 mg/m weekly) during weeks 1 through 6, concurrent with RT (XELOX-XRT; group 1). After the first 11 patients, the study was amended to omit chemotherapy during the third and sixth weeks (group 2). The primary objective was 3-year time to treatment failure (TTF) and safety. Secondary objectives were complete response (CR) rate, locoregional control, colostomy-free survival (CFS), and overall survival (OS).
Twenty patients were enrolled. Seven patients of group 1 (63%) developed Grade 3 toxicity, which reduced to 22% in Group 2. No Grade 4 toxicities were noted. The median RT dose was 55 Gy. CR occurred in 100% of the 19 patients evaluable for response at 12 to 14 weeks. After a median follow-up of 47.6 months, 2 patients had local recurrence and 1 had distant recurrence. Three-year TTF was 90.0%, with similar rates between groups 1 and 2 (respectively, 90.9% vs. 88.8%, P = .984). Three-year CFS was 90.0%. The median OS has not been reached.
The XELOX-XRT regimen is safe, with promising efficacy, and should be explored in larger trials for the treatment of locally advanced SCCA.
在美国,肛门管鳞癌(SCCA)的发病率呈上升趋势。局部晚期疾病的标准治疗包括氟尿嘧啶持续输注联合丝裂霉素 C 或顺铂,同时进行放射治疗(RT)。我们设计了这项试验来评估更方便的方案(卡培他滨和奥沙利铂)的疗效和安全性。
这是一项单臂、二期试验,纳入了未经治疗的 II 期至 IIIB 期(TX,1-4NxM0)SCCA 患者。方案包括卡培他滨(825mg/m,每日两次,连用 5 天)和奥沙利铂(50mg/m,每周一次),在第 1 周到第 6 周进行,同时进行 RT(XELOX-XRT;第 1 组)。在最初的 11 例患者后,研究修改为在第 3 周和第 6 周省略化疗(第 2 组)。主要目标是 3 年治疗失败时间(TTF)和安全性。次要目标是完全缓解(CR)率、局部区域控制、无结肠造口术生存(CFS)和总生存(OS)。
共纳入 20 例患者。第 1 组 7 例(63%)患者出现 3 级毒性,第 2 组降至 22%。无 4 级毒性。中位 RT 剂量为 55Gy。19 例可评估反应的患者中,12 至 14 周时 100%出现 CR。中位随访 47.6 个月后,2 例患者发生局部复发,1 例发生远处复发。3 年 TTF 为 90.0%,两组之间相似(分别为 90.9%和 88.8%,P=0.984)。3 年 CFS 为 90.0%。中位 OS 尚未达到。
XELOX-XRT 方案安全有效,具有广阔的应用前景,应在更大规模的临床试验中探索其治疗局部晚期 SCCA 的疗效。
