Weight control and energy restriction could improve survival in patients with advanced breast cancer (ABC) but randomised data are lacking. A randomised screening trial was conducted to assess an intermittent energy restricted diet and resistance exercise intervention (IER + RE) vs RE alone (RE) on progression free survival (PFS), toxicity and Quality of Life (QoL) during chemotherapy for ABC.
Sixty-eight women were randomised to IER + RE (n = 35) or RE (n = 33) with one-sided significance assessed at the 20% threshold. The primary end point was PFS secondary endpoints included chemotherapy toxicity, weight change and QoL.
The adjusted hazard rate for progression comparing IER + RE vs RE was 0.729 (0.391-1.361) and the median PFS 42.0 vs 26.1 weeks respectively (p = 0.160). Toxicity was low and comparable between groups. Comparing IER + RE vs RE alone at cycle 3 the median (interquartile range) changes were: weight -1.8 kg (-4.2 to -0.7) vs +0.2 kg (-0.74, 2.59) (p < 0.001), FACT-B + 4.0 (-0.8, 11) vs +1.0 (-4.0, 4.0) (p = 0.031) and Hospital Anxiety Depression Score -2.0 (-3.5, +0.5) vs +1.0 (-2, 3.5) (p = 0.022).
IER + RE improved PFS and QoL without evidence of harms warranting a further larger randomised study in ABC.
体重控制和能量限制可能会改善晚期乳腺癌(ABC)患者的生存率,但缺乏随机数据。开展了一项随机筛查试验,以评估间歇性能量限制饮食和抗阻运动干预(IER + RE)与单纯抗阻运动(RE)相比,对ABC化疗期间无进展生存期(PFS)、毒性和生活质量(QoL)的影响。
68名女性被随机分为IER + RE组(n = 35)或RE组(n = 33),以20%的阈值评估单侧显著性。主要终点是PFS,次要终点包括化疗毒性、体重变化和QoL。
比较IER + RE与RE,进展的调整风险率为0.729(0.391 - 1.361),中位PFS分别为42.0周和26.1周(p = 0.160)。毒性较低且两组间相当。在第3周期比较IER + RE与单纯RE,中位数(四分位间距)变化为:体重 -1.8 kg(-4.2至 -0.7) vs +0.2 kg(-0.74,2.59)(p < 0.001),FACT - B +4.0(-0.8,11) vs +1.0(-4.0,4.0)(p = 0.031),医院焦虑抑郁量表评分 -2.0(-3.5,+0.5) vs +1.0(-2,3.5)(p = 0.022)。
IER + RE改善了PFS和QoL,且无有害证据,因此有必要在ABC中开展进一步的大型随机研究。
