Clinical observation of capecitabine monotherapy in elderly patients with advanced breast cancer

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of capecitabine mono-chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced breast cancer. Methods The data from 36 cases of capecitabine monotherapy in elderly patients with advanced breast cancer were retrospectively analyzed. Oral administration of capecitabine 2000 mg/m2 twice daily(D1–14) for 21 days constituted a cycle. The effect of the disease and main adverse reactions were evaluated every 2 cycles. Results The data from 36 elderly patients were studied. The median number of chemotherapy cycles was 4. The total effective rate was 30.6%(11/36) and the disease control rate was 72.2%(26/36). The number of patients with clinical complete remission was 2, clinical partial response was 9, stable disease was 15, and progressive disease was 10. Where treatment was effective, the median time to progression was 6 months and the median overall survival was 9.5 months. The main adverse events were gastrointestinal reactions, bone marrow suppression, and oral mucositis; most of the reactions were grade 1 to 2. Grade 3 to 4 adverse reactions included granulocytopenia in 2 patients(12.5%) and hand-foot syndrome in 1 patient(6.7%).Conclusion Capecitabine monotherapy was effective in controlling disease progression, and adverse reactions were tolerated by elderly patients with advanced breast cancer.     

Intraarterial chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin in locally advanced or recurrent penile squamous cell carcinoma

The prognosis of locally advanced or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma （SCC） of the penis after conventional treatment is dismal. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of intraarterial chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin on locally advanced or recurrent SCC of the penis. Between April 1999 and May 2011, we treated 5 patients with locally advanced penile SCC and 7 patients with recurrent disease with intraarterial chemotherapy. The response rate and toxicity data were analyzed, and survival rates were calculated. After 2 to 6 cycles of intraarterial chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin, 1 patients with Iocoregionally advanced disease achieved a complete response, and 4 achieved partial response. Of the 7 patients with recurrent disease, 2 achieved complete response, 3 achieved partial response, 3 had stable disease, and 1 developed progressive disease. An objective tumor response was therefore achieved in 10 of the 12 patients. The median overall survival for the patients was 24 months （range, 10-50 months）. Three out of 10 patients who responded were long-term survivors after intraarterial chemotherapy. Intraarterial chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin may be effective and potentially curative in Iocoregionally advanced or recurrent penile SCC. The contribution of this therapy in the primary management of advanced or recurrent penile SCC shouJd be prospectively investigated.

A phase II randomized study of two taxanes and cisplatin for metastatic breast cancer after anthracycline: a final analysis

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study is to compare two taxanes/cisplatin combinations for metastatic breast cancer in terms of time to disease progression, response rates and toxicity. METHODS: Between April 2000 and December 2002, 101 patients with advanced breast carcinoma, previously treated with an anthracycline but not with a taxane, were enrolled. Fifty patients were treated with docetaxel 60 mg/m2 and cisplatin 50 mg/m2, and 51 patients were treated with paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 and cisplatin 50 mg/m2. Each cycle repeated every 3 weeks. RESULTS: The overall response rate was 62.5 and 42.6% in the docetaxel and palcitaxel groups respectively (P = 0.06). Median time to disease progression was 9.8 and 6.5 months in docetaxel and paclitaxel groups respectively (P = 0.15). The median overall survival time was 22.7 months in the docetaxel arm and 22.4 months in the paclitaxel arm. Grade 3/4 arthralgia/myalgia, sensory neuropathy and anemia occurred more frequently in the paclitaxel arm, while more mucositis, fatigue and neutropenia occurred in the docetaxel arm. CONCLUSION: Taxane/cisplatin combinations were active for advanced breast cancer, while there appeared to be evidence in favor of a docetaxel/cisplatin combination. The toxicity in favor of docetaxel/cisplatin warrants future first-line clinical trials.     

Docetaxel plus cisplatin as second-line therapy in metastatic or recurrent advanced gastric cancer progressing on 5-fluorouracil-based regimen

The purpose of this study was to determine the activity and safety of docetaxel plus cisplatin as second-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. This trial included patients who had failed first-line chemotherapy with a 5-fluorouracil regimen within 1 year before their enrollment. After registration, patients were treated with docetaxel intravenously at a dose of 60 mg/m2 given over 1 hour followed by cisplatin 60 mg/m2 given over 2 hours. The treatment was continued every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity was detected. Forty-three patients were registered and 41 were assessable for response. Seven partial responses were observed (17.1% of the "evaluable" patients; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0-29) with a median response duration of 3.9 months. Stable disease was documented in 2 cases (4.9%). The median survival was 5.8 months (95% CI, 3.4-8.3), resulting in a 1-year survival rate of 23%. Tolerance was acceptable, with the main toxicity being neutropenia. The authors conclude that second-line chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cisplatin for advanced gastric cancer is feasible with an acceptable toxicity level.     

A multicenter phase II study of sequential vinorelbine and cisplatin followed by docetaxel and gemcitabine in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer

PURPOSE: To evaluate the activity and toxicity of the sequential administration of vinorelbine/cisplatin (VC regimen) followed by the docetaxel/gemcitabine (DG regimen) combination in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND TREATMENT: Fifty-nine previously untreated patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC received three cycles of cisplatin 80 mg/m(2) (day 1), and vinorelbine 30 mg/m(2) (days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks; VC regimen), followed by six cycles of docetaxel (65 mg/m(2), day 1) and gemcitabine (1,500 mg/m(2), day 1), (DG regimen) every 2 weeks. RESULTS: One (1.7%) complete and 26 (44.1%) partial responses were achieved for an overall response rate of 45.8% (95% CI 33.05-58.48%); 12 (20.3%) patients had stable disease and 20 (33.9%) progressive disease. The median time to progression was 5.3 months, the median survival time 12.5 months and the 1-year survival rate 51%. The main toxicity was grade III/IV neutropenia occurring in 25.5% of patients; all other hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities were relatively infrequent. CONCLUSIONS: The sequential administration of VC and DG regimens was well tolerated and active against advanced NSCLC and merits to be further evaluated against a single doublet.

Induction Docetaxel and Cisplatin Followed by Weekly Docetaxel and Cisplatin with Concurrent Radiotherapy in Locally Advanced Stage III Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (LA-NSCLC)-A Phase II Study

Purpose: The objective of this phase II study was to document the activity and to evaluate the toxicity of docetaxel and cisplatin as induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent docetaxel and cisplatin with thoracic radiation in locally advanced stage III non small cell lung cancer. Patients and Methods: Twenty-seven patients with stage III locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer received induction chemotherapy with two cycles of docetaxel 75mg/m2 and cisplatin 75mg/m2 D1 every 3 weeks. Patients without disease progress after induction chemotherapy were assigned to concurrent chemoradiotherapy 20mg/m2 docetaxel&25mg/m2 cisplatin administrated on day 1 every week for 6 weeks along with concurrent radiotherapy at a dose of 60Gy in 30 fractions (2 Gy/fraction and 5 fractions per week). The primary endpoint was to determine the overall response rate (ORR), the secondary endpoint was to evaluate time to progression (TTP) and safety profile. Results: After induction chemotherapy, the overall response rate (ORR) was 44.4%, 23 patients without disease progress were assigned to concurrent treatment with an overall response rate of 65%. Median survival time was 17 months, time to progression was 11.5 months and the one-year survival was 58%. Neutropenia was the most common toxicity during induction therapy (26% expressed grade 3-4) whereas esophagitis was the most common toxicity during concurrent phase (17.3% expressed grade 3-4); toxicities were manageable. Conclusion: Induction chemotherapy by docetaxel and cisplatin followed by weekly docetaxel and cisplatin with concurrent thoracic radiation therapy is feasible and tolerable. These results warrant further large randomized studies to document and confirm the effectiveness of this regimen. Key Words: Lung cancer , Docetaxel , Cisplatin , Concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Docetaxel (Taxotere) plus cisplatin: an active and well-tolerated combination in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer

The activity of the combination of intravenous docetaxel 75 mg/m2 plus cisplatin 100 mg/m2 administered every 3 weeks for 3 cycles then every 6 weeks was investigated in 51 chemotherapy naive patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The population was 92% male, with a median age of 54 years and median performance status of 1; 80% of patients had metastatic disease, including 37% with bone involvement. All patients received prophylactic premedication (ondansetron, dexamethasone plus cetirizine) and standard hyperhydration. With a median of 4 treatment cycles (range 1-9), 14 of 42 evaluable patients responded (overall response rate 33.3%, 95% CI 19.6-49.6%); the median response duration was 7.3 months, median survival 8.4 months, and 1-year survival rate 35%. The most common adverse event was neutropenia, occurring in two-thirds of patients. Neurosensory effects were cumulative but generally mild. No treatment-related deaths occurred. This combination of docetaxel/cisplatin showed activity in advanced NSCLC. While it was not clearly superior to single-agent docetaxel, due to differences in prognostic factors among the patients in open trials, a randomised study would be needed to demonstrate definitively whether cisplatin adds to the activity of docetaxel or not.     

Combination chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil in previously treated patients with advanced/recurrent head and neck cancer: a phase II feasibility study

The purpose of this phase II feasibility trial was to determine the efficacy and toxicity of docetaxel combined with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in patients with locally advanced and/or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Nineteen patients entered the study. The majority had received prior radiotherapy but were chemotherapy naive. Treatment consisted of docetaxel 80 mg/m2 day 1, cisplatin 40 mg/m2 days 2 and 3, and 5-fluorouracil 1,000 mg/m2 by continuous infusion days 1 to 3. The cycle was repeated every 28 days. Most patients received granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, 150 microg/m2/day subcutaneously between days 4 and 8. The median number of chemotherapy cycles per patient was four. Dose reduction was done in three patients with no treatment delays. Of the 16 evaluable for response, seven patients (44%) demonstrated an objective response, including two complete and five partial ones; eight patients (50%) had stable disease; and one patient had progressive disease. The median time to progression was 7.5 months (range: 4-17.5 months). The median survival was 11 months (range: 1-18 months) and 1-year survival was 49%. Febrile neutropenia was recorded in 15% of courses. There were no toxic deaths. In conclusion, the combination of docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil is an active regimen against previously treated squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with acceptable toxicity.
