Cisplatin-based chemotherapy was established in the 1980s, and it has been improved by the development of a short hydration protocol in lung cancer therapy. However, cisplatin-based chemotherapy is still associated with renal toxicity. Because 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) with sodium ferrous citrate (SFC) is known to be a mitochondrial activator and a heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inducer, 5-ALA with SFC is speculated to mitigate cisplatin-induced renal inflammation.
We investigated the effects of oral administration of 5-ALA with SFC for preventing cisplatin-based nephrotoxicity in patients with lung cancer and evaluated its benefits for patients who received cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was the significance of the difference between the serum creatinine (sCr) levels of the patients administered 5-ALA with SFC and those given placebo after course 1 of chemotherapy. The difference in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between the two groups was also evaluated as the secondary endpoint.
The double-blind, randomized two-arm studies were conducted at 15 medical facilities in Japan; 54 male and 20 female patients with lung cancer who received cisplatin-based chemotherapy between the ages of 42 and 75 years were included in the study. The compliance rate was greater than 94% in the primary assessment and subsequent drug administration periods. All enrolled patients completed the four cycles of cisplatin-based chemotherapy with short hydration. The average level of sCr on day 22 of course 1 was 0.707 mg/dL in the group treated with 5-ALA and SFC and 0.735 mg/dL in the placebo group, respectively, and the sCr in the test group was significantly lower than that in the placebo group (p = 0.038). In addition, the eGFR was significantly higher in the SPP-003 group than in the placebo group up to day 1 of course 3 (84.66 and 75.68 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively, p = 0.02) and kept better even after the last administration of the study drug (82.37 and 73.49 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively, p = 0.013).
The oral administration of 5-ALA with SFC is beneficial to patients undergoing cisplatin-based chemotherapy for lung cancer with short hydration.
顺铂为基础的化疗在 20 世纪 80 年代确立,在肺癌治疗中通过发展短期水化方案得到了改进。然而,顺铂为基础的化疗仍与肾毒性相关。因为 5-氨基酮戊酸(5-ALA)联合柠檬酸亚铁(SFC)已知是线粒体激活剂和血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)诱导剂,所以推测 5-ALA 联合 SFC 可以减轻顺铂引起的肾炎症。
我们研究了口服 5-ALA 联合 SFC 对预防肺癌患者顺铂肾毒性的效果,并评估了其对接受顺铂为基础化疗的患者的益处。主要终点是化疗第 1 疗程后,接受 5-ALA 联合 SFC 治疗的患者与接受安慰剂治疗的患者之间血清肌酐(sCr)水平的差异的显著性。两组间估算肾小球滤过率(eGFR)的差异也作为次要终点进行评估。
这项双盲、随机两臂研究在日本的 15 家医疗机构进行;纳入了年龄在 42 至 75 岁之间接受顺铂为基础化疗的 54 名男性和 20 名女性肺癌患者。主要评估和后续药物给药期间的依从率均大于 94%。所有入组患者均完成了四周期的顺铂为基础短水化化疗。第 1 疗程第 22 天,5-ALA 联合 SFC 组 sCr 平均水平为 0.707mg/dL,安慰剂组为 0.735mg/dL,试验组 sCr 明显低于安慰剂组(p=0.038)。此外,直到第 3 疗程第 1 天,SPP-003 组的 eGFR 明显高于安慰剂组(分别为 84.66 和 75.68mL/min/1.73m2,p=0.02),甚至在最后一次研究药物给药后仍保持更好(分别为 82.37 和 73.49mL/min/1.73m2,p=0.013)。
口服 5-ALA 联合 SFC 对接受短水化顺铂为基础化疗的肺癌患者有益。
