Polymeric micellar paclitaxel (pm-Pac) is a novel Cremophor EL-free, nanoparticle micellar formulation of paclitaxel. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between pm-Pac plus cisplatin and solvent-based paclitaxel (sb-Pac) plus cisplatin in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
A total of 448 stage IIIB to IV NSCLC patients were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive six 3-week cycles of either pm-Pac (230 mg/m) plus cisplatin (70 mg/m; n = 300), followed by dose escalation of pm-Pac to 300 mg/m from the second 3-week cycle if prespecified toxic effects were not observed after the first cycle, or sb-Pac (175 mg/m) plus cisplatin (70 mg/m; n = 148). The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by independent review committees (IRCs). The secondary end points included IRC-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.
Patients in the pm-Pac-plus-cisplatin group showed significant improvements in IRC-assessed ORR compared with those in the sb-Pac-plus-cisplatin group (50% versus 26%; rate ratio 1.91; P < 0.0001). Additionally, subgroup analysis showed that a higher ORR was consistently observed in both squamous and nonsquamous histological types. IRC-assessed median PFS was significantly higher in the pm-Pac-plus-cisplatin group than in the sb-Pac-plus-cisplatin group (6.4-month versus 5.3-month; hazard ratio 0.63; P = 0.0001). Median OS was not significantly different between the two groups. The incidence of treatment-related serious adverse events (9% versus 18%; P = 0.0090) was significantly lower in the pm-Pac-plus-cisplatin group than in the sb-Pac-plus-cisplatin group.
Pm-Pac plus cisplatin yielded superior ORR and PFS along with a favorable safety profile and should become an option for patients with advanced NSCLC.

聚乙二醇化紫杉醇胶束(pm-Pac)是一种新型无聚氧乙烯蓖麻油的紫杉醇纳米胶束制剂。我们旨在比较聚乙二醇化紫杉醇胶束联合顺铂与溶剂型紫杉醇(sb-Pac)联合顺铂治疗晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的疗效和安全性。
共 448 例 IIIB 至 IV 期 NSCLC 患者被随机分配(2:1)接受 6 个 3 周周期的治疗,pm-Pac(230mg/m)联合顺铂(70mg/m;n=300),或 sb-Pac(175mg/m)联合顺铂(70mg/m;n=148)。主要终点为独立审查委员会(IRC)评估的客观缓解率(ORR)。次要终点包括 IRC 评估的无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)和安全性。
pm-Pac 联合顺铂组的 IRC 评估 ORR 明显高于 sb-Pac 联合顺铂组(50%比 26%;率比 1.91;P<0.0001)。此外,亚组分析显示,在鳞癌和非鳞癌组织学类型中均观察到更高的 ORR。pm-Pac 联合顺铂组 IRC 评估的中位 PFS 明显长于 sb-Pac 联合顺铂组(6.4 个月比 5.3 个月;风险比 0.63;P=0.0001)。两组中位 OS 无显著差异。pm-Pac 联合顺铂组治疗相关严重不良事件(9%比 18%;P=0.0090)的发生率明显低于 sb-Pac 联合顺铂组。
pm-Pac 联合顺铂治疗晚期 NSCLC 的 ORR、PFS 更高,且安全性良好,应为晚期 NSCLC 患者提供的一种选择。
