We conducted a Phase I study of bischloroethylnitrosourea (BCNU), cisplatin, and oral etoposide administered prior to and during accelerated hyperfractionated radiation therapy in newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. Pharmacokinetic studies of oral etoposide were also done.
Patients started chemotherapy after surgery but prior to definitive radiation therapy (160 cGy twice daily x 15 days; 4800 cGy total). Initial chemotherapy consisted of BCNU 40 mg/m2 days 1-3, cisplatin 30 mg/m2 days 1-3 and 29-31, and etoposide 50 mg orally days 1-14 and 29-42, repeated in 8 weeks concurrent with radiation therapy. BCNU 200 mg/m2 every 8 weeks x 4 cycles was given after radiation therapy.
Sixteen patients, 5 with grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma and 11 with glioblastoma were studied. Grade 3-4 leukopenia (38%) and thrombocytopenia (31%) were dose-limiting. Other toxicities were anorexia (81%), nausea (94%), emesis (56%), alopecia (88%), and ototoxicity (38%). The maximum tolerated dose was BCNU 40 mg/m2 days 1-3, cisplatin 20 mg/m2 days 1-3 and 29-31, and oral etoposide 50 mg days 1-21 and 29-49 prior to radiation therapy and repeated in 8 weeks with the start of radiation therapy followed by BCNU 200 mg/m2 every 8 weeks for 4 cycles. Median time to progression and survival were 13 and 14 months respectively. Responses occurred in 2 of 9 (22%) patients with evaluable disease. In pharmacokinetic studies, all patients achieved plasma concentrations of >0.1 microg/ml etoposide (the in vitro radiosensitizing threshold), following a 50 mg oral dose. The mean +/- SD 2 hr and 6 hr plasma concentrations were 0.92 +/- 0.43 microg/ml and 0.36 +/- 0.12 microg/ml, respectively. Estimated duration of exposure to >0.1 microg/ml etoposide was 10-17 hr.
Preirradiation chemotherapy with BCNU, cisplatin, and oral etoposide with accelerated hyperfractionated radiation therapy in high-grade gliomas is feasible and merits further investigation. Sustained radiosensitizing concentrations can be achieved with low oral doses of etoposide.
我们开展了一项针对新诊断的高级别胶质瘤患者的Ⅰ期研究,在加速超分割放射治疗之前及期间给予双氯乙基亚硝脲(BCNU)、顺铂和口服依托泊苷,并对口服依托泊苷进行了药代动力学研究。
患者在手术后但在确定性放射治疗之前开始化疗(每天两次,每次160 cGy,共15天;总剂量4800 cGy)。初始化疗包括第1 - 3天给予BCNU 40 mg/m²,第1 - 3天和第29 - 31天给予顺铂30 mg/m²,第1 - 14天和第29 - 42天口服依托泊苷50 mg,在8周内与放射治疗同时重复进行。放射治疗后每8周给予BCNU 200 mg/m²,共4个周期。
研究了16例患者,其中5例为3级间变性星形细胞瘤,11例为胶质母细胞瘤。3 - 4级白细胞减少(38%)和血小板减少(31%)为剂量限制性毒性。其他毒性包括厌食(81%)、恶心(94%)、呕吐(56%)、脱发(88%)和耳毒性(38%)。最大耐受剂量为放射治疗前第1 - 3天给予BCNU 40 mg/m²,第1 - 3天和第29 - 31天给予顺铂20 mg/m²,第1 - 21天和第29 - 49天口服依托泊苷50 mg,并在放射治疗开始时8周后重复,随后每8周给予BCNU 200 mg/m²,共进行4个周期。进展和生存的中位时间分别为13个月和14个月。9例可评估疾病的患者中有2例(22%)出现缓解。在药代动力学研究中,所有患者口服50 mg剂量后,血浆依托泊苷浓度均达到>0.1 μg/ml(体外放射增敏阈值)。2小时和6小时的平均±标准差血浆浓度分别为0.92±0.43 μg/ml和0.36±0.12 μg/ml。估计血浆依托泊苷浓度>0.1 μg/ml的暴露持续时间为10 - 17小时。
在高级别胶质瘤中,采用BCNU、顺铂和口服依托泊苷进行放疗前化疗联合加速超分割放射治疗是可行的,值得进一步研究。低口服剂量的依托泊苷可实现持续的放射增敏浓度。
