Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) has shown non-inferiority to paclitaxel (PTX) as second-line therapy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) with fewer infusion-related reactions. The efficacy and safety of nab-PTX plus ramucirumab (RAM) was reported in a phase II trial; however, there is no randomized trial comparing this regimen with PTX plus RAM in patients with AGC. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of nab-PTX plus RAM versus PTX plus RAM in patients with AGC.
This study included patients with AGC who received nab-PTX plus RAM from September 2017 to January 2019 or PTX plus RAM from June 2015 to August 2017 as second-line chemotherapy in our hospital.
A total of 113 and 138 patients who received nab-PTX plus RAM and PTX plus RAM, respectively, were analyzed. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.4-4.3) in the nab-PTX plus RAM group and 3.9 months (95% CI: 3.1-4.7) in the PTX plus RAM group (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.08; 95% CI: 0.83-1.40; P = 0.573). Median overall survival (OS) was 10.9 months (95% CI: 9.3-12.7) in the nab-PTX plus RAM group and 10.3 months (95% CI: 8.5-12.0) in the PTX plus RAM group (hazard ratio: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.61-1.10; P = 0.188). In patients with moderate/massive ascites, favorable outcomes for progression-free survival were observed in the nab-PTX plus RAM group compared with the PTX plus RAM group. Although anemia and fatigue (any grade) were more frequent in the nab-PTX plus RAM group, discontinuation of study treatment was not increased in the nab-PTX plus RAM group. There was no occurrence of hypersensitivity reaction in the nab-PTX plus RAM group, while two patients (1.4%) experienced grade 3 hypersensitivity reactions in the PTX plus RAM group.
The combination of nab-PTX plus RAM showed a similar efficacy and safety profile to PTX plus RAM as second-line treatment for patients with AGC.
纳米白蛋白结合紫杉醇(nab-PTX)作为晚期胃癌(AGC)二线治疗药物,其在输注相关不良反应方面优于紫杉醇(PTX)。一项 II 期试验报道了 nab-PTX 联合雷莫芦单抗(RAM)的疗效和安全性;然而,尚无随机试验比较该方案与 PTX 联合 RAM 在 AGC 患者中的疗效。本回顾性研究旨在探讨 nab-PTX 联合 RAM 与 PTX 联合 RAM 治疗 AGC 患者的疗效和安全性。
本研究纳入了 2017 年 9 月至 2019 年 1 月期间在我院接受 nab-PTX 联合 RAM 二线化疗或 2015 年 6 月至 2017 年 8 月期间接受 PTX 联合 RAM 二线化疗的 AGC 患者。
共分析了 113 例接受 nab-PTX 联合 RAM 和 138 例接受 PTX 联合 RAM 的患者。nab-PTX 联合 RAM 组和 PTX 联合 RAM 组的中位无进展生存期(PFS)分别为 3.9 个月(95%置信区间[CI]:3.4-4.3)和 3.9 个月(95% CI:3.1-4.7)(风险比[HR]:1.08;95% CI:0.83-1.40;P=0.573)。nab-PTX 联合 RAM 组和 PTX 联合 RAM 组的中位总生存期(OS)分别为 10.9 个月(95% CI:9.3-12.7)和 10.3 个月(95% CI:8.5-12.0)(风险比:0.82;95% CI:0.61-1.10;P=0.188)。在中/大量腹水患者中,nab-PTX 联合 RAM 组的 PFS 结果优于 PTX 联合 RAM 组。尽管 nab-PTX 联合 RAM 组贫血和乏力(任何级别)更为常见,但 nab-PTX 联合 RAM 组并未增加研究治疗的停药率。nab-PTX 联合 RAM 组未发生过敏反应,而 PTX 联合 RAM 组有 2 例(1.4%)患者发生 3 级过敏反应。
nab-PTX 联合 RAM 作为二线治疗晚期胃癌患者,疗效和安全性与 PTX 联合 RAM 相当。
