Ramucirumab (RAM) is recommended as premedication with H-receptor antagonists (HRA) to prevent infusion-related reactions (IRRs). However, RAM is a human antibody with a low incidence of IRRs. We evaluated the noninferiority of non-HRA (dexamethasone [DEX] alone) premedication to HRA (plus DEX) premedication in terms of IRRs in patients with gastric cancer receiving RAM plus nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX).
This was a noninferiority, multicenter, retrospective trial conducted in three Japanese centers to assess the incidence of IRRs in patients receiving RAM plus nab-PTX for gastric cancer between 2018 and 2023. Patients with gastric cancer receiving RAM plus nab-PTX were divided into groups with and without HRA premedication. The incidence of IRRs was compared between the two groups.
Ninety patients were evaluated, with non-HRA and HRA premedications in 43 and 47 cases, respectively. After the first dose of RAM, IRRs were not observed in either group. IRRs during the overall doses were 0% for non-HRA premedication and 2.1% for HRA premedication (90% confidence interval (CI): -5.6%-1.3% for each comparison). The upper limit of the 90% CI (1.3%) did not exceed the noninferiority margin (Δ) of + 10% and therefore met the noninferiority criteria.
RAM plus nab-PTX for gastric cancer with DEX premedication may be possible without HRA premedication.
雷莫芦单抗(RAM)被推荐与 H 受体拮抗剂(HRA)联用作为预处理,以预防输注相关反应(IRR)。然而,RAM 是一种人源抗体,IRR 发生率较低。我们评估了在接受 RAM 联合白蛋白结合型紫杉醇纳米粒(nab-PTX)治疗的胃癌患者中,非 HRA(单独地塞米松[DEX])预处理与 HRA(加 DEX)预处理在 IRR 方面的非劣效性。
这是一项在三个日本中心进行的非劣效性、多中心、回顾性研究,旨在评估 2018 年至 2023 年间接受 RAM 联合 nab-PTX 治疗的胃癌患者发生 IRR 的情况。将接受 RAM 联合 nab-PTX 治疗的胃癌患者分为接受和不接受 HRA 预处理的两组。比较两组的 IRR 发生率。
共有 90 例患者接受了评估,其中 43 例和 47 例分别接受了非 HRA 和 HRA 预处理。在接受 RAM 首次剂量后,两组均未观察到 IRR。在总剂量期间,IRR 发生率分别为非 HRA 预处理组为 0%,HRA 预处理组为 2.1%(每例比较的 90%置信区间(CI)为-5.6%至 1.3%)。90%CI 的上限(1.3%)未超过非劣效性边界(Δ)+10%,因此符合非劣效性标准。
对于接受 RAM 联合 nab-PTX 治疗的胃癌患者,DEX 预处理可能可以不联合 HRA 预处理。
