Systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus S-1 (GEM + S-1), GEM + CDDP plus S-1 (GEM + CDDP + S-1), or gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GEM + CDDP) is standard treatment for advanced biliary tract cancer (aBTC). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination chemotherapy in older patients with aBTC.
This multicenter prospective observational study (JON2104-B, UMIN000045156) included patients aged ≥ 70 years with aBTC. Inverse-probability weighting propensity-score analyses (IPW) were used to compare overall survival (OS) as the primary endpoint and progression-free survival (PFS) across treatment groups.
This study included 305 patients between August 2021 and January 2023. Of them, 75, 131, 26, 52, and 10 received GEM + CDDP + S-1, GEM + CDDP, GEM + S-1, gemcitabine, and S-1; their median ages were 74, 75, 77.5, 80, and 80 years, and approximately 24%, 16.8%, 23.1%, 9.6%, and 0% had G-8 scores of > 14, respectively. GEM + CDDP had a safety profile comparable to that of GEM + CDDP + S-1 but was more toxic than gemcitabine. Per IPW, the hazard ratio (HR) for GEM + CDDP + S-1 versus GEM + CDDP was 0.80 for OS (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.55-1.17) and 0.55 for PFS (95% CI 0.38-0.80). The HR for GEM + CDDP versus gemcitabine was 0.74 for OS (95% CI 0.42-1.29) and 0.79 for PFS (95% CI 0.42-1.49).
GEM + CDDP + S-1 was associated with longer PFS without additional toxicity than GEM + CDDP for fit older patients. However, the OS for both were not statistically different. The efficacies of GEM + CDDP and gemcitabine for vulnerable older patients did not also differ significantly. These findings highlight the importance of vulnerability in patients with aBTC.
吉西他滨联合S-1(GEM+S-1)、吉西他滨联合顺铂(GEM+CDDP)加S-1(GEM+CDDP+S-1)或吉西他滨联合顺铂(GEM+CDDP)是晚期胆管癌(aBTC)的标准治疗方案。我们旨在评估联合化疗在老年aBTC患者中的疗效和安全性。
这项多中心前瞻性观察研究(JON2104-B,UMIN000045156)纳入了年龄≥70岁的aBTC患者。采用逆概率加权倾向评分分析(IPW)比较各治疗组的总生存期(OS)作为主要终点和无进展生存期(PFS)。
本研究纳入了2021年8月至2023年1月期间的305例患者。其中,75例、131例、26例、52例和10例分别接受了GEM+CDDP+S-1、GEM+CDDP、GEM+S-1、吉西他滨和S-1治疗;他们的中位年龄分别为74岁、75岁、77.5岁、80岁和80岁,G-8评分>14的患者分别约为24%、16.8%、23.1%、9.6%和0%。GEM+CDDP的安全性与GEM+CDDP+S-1相当,但毒性比吉西他滨更大。根据IPW分析结果,GEM+CDDP+S-1与GEM+CDDP相比,OS的风险比(HR)为0.80(95%置信区间[CI],0.55-1.17),PFS的HR为0.55(95%CI 0.38-0.80)。GEM+CDDP与吉西他滨相比,OS的HR为0.74(95%CI 0.42-1.29),PFS的HR为0.79(95%CI 0.42-1.49)。
对于身体状况良好的老年患者,GEM+CDDP+S-1与GEM+CDDP相比,PFS更长且无额外毒性。然而,两者的OS在统计学上无差异。GEM+CDDP和吉西他滨对身体虚弱的老年患者的疗效也无显著差异。这些发现凸显了aBTC患者身体虚弱的重要性。
