BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose of irinotecan and oxaliplatin with a fixed 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) regimen in patients with metastatic solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The trial was designed to evaluate escalating doses of oxaliplatin and irinotecan, starting at 60 mg/m2 and 90 mg/m2, respectively, given at day 1 with the full-dose LV5FU2 regimen, given on days 1 and 2 as follows: folinic acid 200 mg/m2 followed by 5-FU 400 mg/m2 bolus and 600 mg/m2 22 h continuous infusion, every 2 weeks. The second cohort of patients was treated at the recommended dose for oxaliplatin and irinotecan with the simplified LV5FU regimen: on day 1, a 2-h infusion of folinic acid (400 mg/m2), followed by a 10-min intravenous bolus of 5-FU (400 mg/m2), followed by a continuous infusion of 5-FU (2400 mg/m2) over 46 h. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients were treated at the following dose levels (oxaliplatin/irinotecan mg/m2): 60/90, 60/120, 85/120, 85/150, 85/180, 85/200 and 85/220 and seven patients were treated at the recommended dose with the simplified LV5FU scheme. The MTD was reached at dose level 85/220 mg/m2 but the recommended dose chosen for the second step was 85/180 mg/m2 to keep a better compliance with the biweekly schedule. Main grade 3/4 toxicities per patient included the following: neutropenia in 78% (febrile episodes in 12%), diarrhea in 27%, nausea/vomiting in 24% and peripheral neuropathy in 37% (Lévi's scale). Antitumor activity was observed at almost all dose levels. Most objective responses were observed in digestive malignancies, since 10 out of 11 were obtained in five colorectal cancers, two pancreatic cancers, two cholangiocarcinoma and one gastric cancer. CONCLUSION: The recommended dose for the triple association is 85/180 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin and irinotecan, respectively, with LV5FU2 or simplified LV5FU. The antitumor activity in gastrointestinal malignancies should be evaluated in phase II studies in different tumor types.  相似文献

Twenty patients with advanced carcinomas of the colorectum, pancreas, stomach, and breast were enrolled in a Phase I study of a sequential administration of 5-fluorouracil-leucovorin (FU-LV) combination followed by hydroxyurea (HU) with allopurinol protection (HALF regimen). As a weekly regimen for 6 weeks, followed by a rest period of 2 weeks, FU was administered intravenously (i.v.) during infusion of a 2-hour i.v. infusion of LV at a dose of 500 mg/m2. Six hours following the FU-LV combination, HU (1 gm/m2) was administered orally. Allopurinol (300 mg every 8 hours, orally) was given the day before and on the day of the administration of the FU-LV combination. The starting dose of FU was 300 mg/m2, with escalations to 900 mg/m2. Mucositis, diarrhea, and hematologic toxicities were mild and sporadic with FU doses up to 750 mg/m2 and occurred in patients who had received prior treatment with FU and/or radiotherapy. Dose-limiting neurocerebellar toxicity was observed in 2 out of 6 patients who received a FU dose of 900 mg/m2. Three additional patients experienced moderate neuromotor toxicity at this dose level. Among 17 patients evaluable for response, partial responses were seen in 3 of the 9 patients with colorectal cancer, 1 of the 3 patients each with carcinoma of breast and pancreas. Three of the 5 responses occurred in patients who had received prior treatment with FU and/or radiation therapy. An FU dose of 750 mg/m2 is recommended for a Phase II trial of the HALF regimen.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: A phase III study was started to compare oxaliplatin/5FU/LV in the first-line with bolus FU/LV in metastatic colorectal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 302 patients were randomised and received bolus 5-FU 425 mg/m(2) day 1-5, FA 20 mg/m(2) day 1-5, q 4 wk or oxaliplatin 85 mg/m(2), 2 h-infusion, FA 200 mg/m(2), 1-h infusion. 5-FU 2600 mg/m(2), 24-h infusion day 1, q 2 wk. The primary endpoint was response rate (RR). RESULTS: The median follow-up is 31.8 months, 90.4% of the patients have died. Confirmed RR, progression free survival (PFS; months) and median overall survival (OS; months) in 5FU/LV versus 5FU/LV/oxaliplatin were respectively 18.5% versus (vs) 33.8% (P = 0.004), 5.6 vs 6.7 (P = 0.016) and 13.3 vs 13.8 (P = 0.619). In the 5FU/LV/oxaliplatin arm less grade (3/4) toxicity was measured for diarrhoea, stomatitis, an increase in idiosyncratic side effects and neurosensory events compared with 5FU/LV. The quality of life (QOL) was equal in both arms. Second line treatment was given in 62% of the patients, crossover of 5FU/LV to 5FU/LV/oxaliplatin occurred in 14%. CONCLUSIONS: Oxaliplatin in the first-line resulted in an increased RR and PFS with less grade 3/4 mucositis/diarrhoea compared with 5FU/LV alone. Idiosyncratic side effects deserve attention with oxaliplatin. Despite a low treatment cross over rate, OS in both groups was comparable.  相似文献

This dose escalation study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended doses (RDs) of 5-fluorouracil (5FU), folinic acid and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) with concomitant radiotherapy in inoperable/metastatic oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma. Patients received three courses of LV5FU2 regimen (folinic acid 200 mg m(-2), bolus 5FU 300-400 mg/m(2), continuous infusion 5FU 400-600 mg m(-2) on days 1 and 2) and escalating doses of oxaliplatin 50 to 100 mg m(-2) on day 1 (FOLFOX). This regimen was repeated every 2 weeks, concomitant to a 50-gray radiotherapy per 5 weeks. Three more cycles were delivered after completion of radiation therapy. Three to six patients were allocated to each of the five dose levels until MTD was reached. Thirty-three patients were enroled and 21 had metastatic disease. Maximum tolerated dose was oxaliplatin 100 mg m(-2), and continuous infusion 5FU was 600 mg m(-2) day(-) (level 5). The most common toxicities were neutropenia, dysphagia and oesophagitis. The RDs were those of FOLFOX-4 regimen (oxaliplatin 85 mg m(-2) and full doses of LV5FU2). The overall response was 48.5%, including 12% complete response. Response rate on primary tumour was 62.9%. This FOLFOX-4 regimen was reasonably well tolerated and effective in inoperable/metastatic oesophageal carcinoma and warrants additional investigation.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose of irinotecan (CPT-11) in combination with fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV), using a biweekly LV5FU2 regimen and increasing doses of CPT-11, and to assess the efficacy of this combination in pretreated patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients had metastatic CRC and a World Health Organization performance status of 0 or 1. CPT-11 was administered over a 90-minute infusion every 2 weeks at a range of dose levels (100, 120, 150, 180, 200, 220, and 260 mg/m(2)). LV5FU2 was started 1 hour after the end of the biweekly CPT-11 infusion and was also administered on day 2. RESULTS: Fifty-five patients were entered onto this trial; 549 cycles were administered. The MTD was not reached at 260 mg/m(2), and a dose level of 300 mg/m(2) was added. The MTD as defined in the protocol was not reached at this dose level either, but all patients had cycles delayed and/or required a dose reduction. This dose was deemed to be the MTD. To take into account both the toxicity of and compliance with the biweekly schedule, the recommended CPT-11 dose was established at 180 to 200 mg/m(2). Antitumor activity was observed at almost all dose levels, with an objective response rate of 22%. Median time to progression was 6.3 months and overall survival was 15 months. CONCLUSION: The biweekly CPT-11/LV5FU2 combination is feasible and safe, without overlapping toxicity. CPT-11 at 180 to 200 mg/m(2) in combination with LV5FU2 has been selected as the recommended dose for further studies.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: We have investigated the efficacy, safety and quality of life profiles of three therapeutic combinations [irinotecan + leucovorin (LV)/5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin + LV/5-FU and irinotecan +oxaliplatin] in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer after failure of a 5-FU-based regimen, or whose disease had progressed within 6 months of the end of treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred and one patients were randomised to receive either: (i) irinotecan 180 mg/m(2) on day 1 followed by an LV 200 mg/m(2) infusion, before a 5-FU 400 mg/m(2) bolus followed by a 5-FU 600 mg/m(2) infusion (LV5FU2 regimen), on days 1 and 2 every 2 weeks; (ii) oxaliplatin 85 mg/m(2) on day 1 followed by the LV5FU2 regimen on days 1 and 2 every 2 weeks; or (iii) oxaliplatin 85 mg/m(2) followed by irinotecan 200 mg/m(2), both on day 1 every 3 weeks. The primary end point was overall response rate (ORR). RESULTS: The intention-to-treat ORRs were 11.4% [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.2-26.7), 21.2% (95% CI 9.0-38.9) and 15.2% (95% CI 5.1-31.9), respectively, in the three arms. Tumour growth control was >or=60% for all three combinations and overall survivals were 12.2 months (95% CI 9.2-16.0), 11.5 months (95% CI 9.0-14.1) and 11.0 months (95% CI 8.1-12.2), respectively. All patients were evaluable for safety. Main grade 3-4 toxicity was neutropenia (33 to 39% of patients). CONCLUSIONS: Thus, second-line treatment with irinotecan/LV5FU2, oxaliplatin/LV5FU2 or irinotecan/oxaliplatin, provides good tumour growth control and survival coupled with an acceptable safety profile.  相似文献

PURPOSE: We sought to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the toxicities and clinical activity of two irinotecan (CPT-11), fluorouracil (FU), leucovorin (LV), and oxaliplatin schedules in patients with advanced solid tumors. Additionally, we investigated the effect of CPT-11 on oxaliplatin pharmacokinetics. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirteen patients (cohort 1) received intravenous CPT-11 (infusion) and FU/LV (bolus) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and oxaliplatin (infusion) on days 1 and 15 every 6 weeks for a total 37 courses (median, three courses) at three dose levels. Twenty-two cohort 2 patients received intravenous CPT-11/oxaliplatin (infusion, day 1) and FU/LV (90-minute bolus infusion, days 2 to 5) every 3 weeks for a total of 122 courses (median, four courses) at three dose levels. Pharmacokinetic and neurotoxicity assessments were performed at the cohort 2 MTD. RESULTS: Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) seen in both cohorts at the starting dose required dose de-escalation. Cohort 1 DLT included diarrhea and neutropenia. In cohort 2, diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, and paresthesias were DLTs. Antitumor activity was seen in both cohorts. In cohort 2, the total platinum area under the curve of patients increased 17% in cycle 2 (P =.048), but objective neurotoxicity was not seen. CONCLUSION: The toxicities resulting from the addition of oxaliplatin to CPT-11/FU/LV are significant but manageable. The MTDs for the weekly schedule are CPT-11 (75 mg/m2), oxaliplatin (50 mg/m2), FU (320 mg/m2), and LV (20 mg/m2); and, for the 3-weekly schedule, the MTDs are CPT-11 (175 mg/m2), oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2), FU (240 mg/m2), and LV (20 mg/m2). Second-cycle platinum accumulation raises the possibility for enhanced cumulative neurotoxicity with CPT-11/oxaliplatin combinations.  相似文献

This phase I-II trial was designed to assess the effect of irinotecan on oxaliplatin pharmacokinetics and to determine the MDT of both drugs when administered in combination. Treatment was repeated every 2 weeks. Pharmacokinetic studies were performed on cycle 1 and 2 to assess the best sequence and detect any interaction between the two drugs. Thirty-four patients with advanced colorectal cancer were enrolled; 28 of them (82%) had liver involvement. The main toxicities were neutropenia and delayed diarrhea; 5 patients (14%) experienced febrile neutropenia. Dose-limiting toxicity was experienced at levels 1/2/3/4/5 by 4/10, 1/6, 3/6, 3/8, and 3/4 patients, respectively. Fifteen patients responded (2 CR; 13 PR) for an ORR of 44%. No pharmacokinetic interactions between irinotecan and oxaliplatin were detected. The recommended dose for future phase II trials is oxaliplatin 85 mg/m and irinotecan 180 mg/m2 on day 1 combined with 5FU/leucovorin according to the de Gramont regimen at days 2 and 3. Twenty-nine percent of patients underwent secondary hepatectomy with curative intent, and two of them are long-term disease-free survivors. It would appear that the dose and schedule defined by this trial could be proposed as front-line therapy for advanced colorectal carcinoma to establish rapid disease control and to permit patients to proceed to surgery.  相似文献

PURPOSE: In a previous study of treatment for advanced colorectal cancer, the LV5FU2 regimen, comprising leucovorin (LV) plus bolus and infusional fluorouracil (5FU) every 2 weeks, was superior to the standard North Central Cancer Treatment Group/Mayo Clinic 5-day bolus 5FU/LV regimen. This phase III study investigated the effect of combining oxaliplatin with LV5FU2, with progression-free survival as the primary end point. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Four hundred twenty previously untreated patients with measurable disease were randomized to receive a 2-hour infusion of LV (200 mg/m(2)/d) followed by a 5FU bolus (400 mg/m(2)/d) and 22-hour infusion (600 mg/m(2)/d) for 2 consecutive days every 2 weeks, either alone or together with oxaliplatin 85 mg/m(2) as a 2-hour infusion on day 1. RESULTS: Patients allocated to oxaliplatin plus LV5FU2 had significantly longer progression-free survival (median, 9.0 v 6.2 months; P =.0003) and better response rate (50.7% v 22.3%; P =.0001) when compared with the control arm. The improvement in overall survival did not reach significance (median, 16.2 v 14.7 months; P =. 12). LV5FU2 plus oxaliplatin gave higher frequencies of National Cancer Institute common toxicity criteria grade 3/4 neutropenia (41. 7% v 5.3% of patients), grade 3/4 diarrhea (11.9% v 5.3%), and grade 3 neurosensory toxicity (18.2% v 0%), but this did not result in impairment of quality of life (QoL). Survival without disease progression or deterioration in global health status was longer in patients allocated to oxaliplatin treatment (P =.004). CONCLUSION: The LV5FU2-oxaliplatin combination seems beneficial as first-line therapy in advanced colorectal cancer, demonstrating a prolonged progression-free survival with acceptable tolerability and maintenance of QoL.  相似文献

PURPOSE: Isolated hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer constitute a frequent and serious therapeutic problem that has led to the evaluation of hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of different drugs. Oxaliplatin combined with fluorouracil (FU) and leucovorin is effective in the treatment of colorectal cancer. In this context, a phase II study was conducted to evaluate concomitant administration of oxaliplatin by HAI and intravenous (IV) FU plus leucovorin according to the LV5FU2 protocol (leucovorin 200 mg/m(2), FU 400 mg/m(2) IV bolus, FU 600 mg/m(2) 22-hour continuous infusion on days 1 and 2 every 2 weeks). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients had metastatic colorectal cancer that was restricted to the liver and inoperable. The patients were not to have previously received oxaliplatin. After surgical insertion of a catheter in the hepatic artery, patients were treated with oxaliplatin 100 mg/m(2) HAI combined with FU + leucovorin IV according to the LV5FU2 protocol. Treatment was continued until disease progression or toxicity. Response was evaluated every 2 months. RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients were included, and 26 patients were treated. Two hundred courses of therapy were administered, and the median number of courses received was eight courses (range, zero to 20 courses). The most frequent toxicity consisted of neutropenia. The main toxicity related to HAI was pain. The intent-to-treat objective response rate was 64% (95% CI, 44% to 81%; 18 of 28 patients). With a median follow-up of 23 months, the median overall and disease-free survival times were 27 and 27 months, respectively. CONCLUSION: The combination of oxaliplatin HAI and FU + leucovorin according to the LV5FU2 protocol is feasible and effective in patients presenting with isolated hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer.  相似文献

PURPOSE: The addition of oxaliplatin to fluorouracil (FU) and leucovorin (LV) improves the outcome of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). This multicenter study evaluated FU/LV with or without oxaliplatin in patients with metastatic CRC after disease progression on sequential fluoropyrimidine and irinotecan. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred fourteen patients were randomly assigned to receive LV 200 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) and FU 400 mg/m2 IV bolus, followed by FU 600 mg/m2 IV over 22 hours on days 1 and 2, every 2 weeks (LV5FU2); or LV and FU as described, plus oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours on day 1 of the schedule (FOLFOX4). The primary end point was overall response. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were similar in the two treatment arms. Objective response (complete + partial) rates for LV5FU2 versus FOLFOX4 were 2% v 13% (P = .0027), respectively. Median time to disease progression was 2.4 v 4.8 months (P < .0001), and median survival was 11.4 v 9.9 months (P = .20) for LV5FU2 and FOLFOX4, respectively. Among the 72 patients who crossed over from LV5FU2 to FOLFOX4, 6% responded. Symptomatic improvement was significantly better for patients in the FOLFOX4 arm (32% v 18% for LV5FU2, P = .05). Grade 3/4 toxicities for LV5FU2 and FOLFOX4 were neutropenia (13% and 42%, respectively), diarrhea (6% and 16%, respectively), and overall neuropathy (0% and 6%, respectively). CONCLUSION: In patients with metastatic CRC, the FOLFOX4 regimen was superior to LV5FU2 with a higher response rate and time to disease progression. FOLFOX4 is an effective regimen even after disease progression on two previous chemotherapy regimens with fluoropyrimidines and irinotecan.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the objective tumor response rates and toxicities of leucovorin (LV) plus fluorouracil (5-FU) cancer regimen combined with oxaliplatin (85 mg/m(2)) every 2 weeks on metastatic colorectal cancer patients with documented proof of progression while on bimonthly LV and 5-FU alone. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred patients were enrolled onto this study and 97 received the study drugs between October 1995 and December 1996. Eighty-nine patients were eligible for per-protocol efficacy analysis with documented proof of progression on one of the following two treatments: LV 500 mg/m(2) and continuous 5-FU infusion 1.5 to 2 g/m(2)/22 hours, days 1 through 2 every 2 weeks (FOLFUHD); or LV 200 mg/m(2), bolus 5-FU 400 mg/m(2), and continuous 5-FU infusion 600 mg/m(2)/22 hours, days 1 through 2 every 2 weeks (LV5FU2). In our study, 40 patients received FOLFUHD + 85 mg/m(2) of oxaliplatin day 1 (FOLFOX3) and 57 patients received LV5FU2 + 85 mg/m(2) of oxaliplatin day 1 (FOLFOX4). RESULTS: Of the 97 patients treated, 20 partial responses were observed (FOLFOX3/4: response rate, 20.6%; 95% confidence interval, 13% to 31.1%; FOLFOX3: response rate,18.4%; FOLFOX4: response rate, 23.5%). For patients treated with FOLFOX3/4, the median response duration for was 7.5 months, and the major toxicities were peripheral neuropathy and neutropenia. The incidence of grade 3 (National Cancer Institute common toxicity criteria) peripheral neuropathy was 20.6%; whereas the overall incidence of grade 3 to 4 neutropenia was 27.8%, 15%, and 36.9% for FOLFOX3/4, FOLFOX3, and FOLFOX4, respectively (P =.02). From the start of treatment, median progression-free survival was 4. 7, 4.6, and 5.1 months for FOLFOX3/4, FOLFOX3, FOLFOX4, respectively, and median overall survival was 10.8, 10.6, and 11.1 months, respectively. CONCLUSION: This phase II study of oxaliplatin at 85 mg/m(2) in combination with bimonthly LV plus 5-FU in patients with colorectal cancer resistant to LV plus 5-FU alone confirms the enhanced antitumor activity of oxaliplatin in combination with 5-FU.  相似文献

The standard treatment for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) has been 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy. However, addition of irinotecan, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, to the combination of 5-FU and leucovorin (LV) has proven to be superior to treatment with 5-FU/LV alone in both chemonaive as well as previously treated patients. Oxaliplatin, a 1,2 diaminocyclohexane platinum compound, in combination with 5-FU and LV, has demonstrated superiority as first-line therapy over 5-FU and LV in terms of response rate and time to progression. The irinotecan/oxaliplatin combination showed synergistic activity in vitro, and the optimal dose safety profile has been explored in several phase I studies. Neutropenia and diarrhea were the dose-limiting toxicities. The recommended dose of irinotecan/oxaliplatin in every-2-week and every-3-week schedules ranged from 150-200 mg/m2 and 85 mg/m2, respectively. In the weekly schedule, the recommended doses of irinotecan/oxaliplatin were 65 mg/m2 and 60 mg/m2. Promising clinical efficacy in CRC was observed in all studies. A recent randomized phase II study revealed that the irinotecan/oxaliplatin combination has equivalent clinical activity to other 5-FU-based combinations and a manageable toxicity profile. The evaluation of irinotecan/oxaliplatin in phase III trials as well as in combination with 5-FU is ongoing.  相似文献

PURPOSE: The overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is associated with poor outcomes in colorectal cancer patients. Bevacizumab, a VEGF inhibitor, enhances the effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy on tumor cytotoxicity in preclinical models, including colorectal cancer. A Phase I trial was undertaken to evaluate the combination of bevacizumab, capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and radiation therapy in patients with rectal cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Patients with pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the rectum were eligible. Pretreatment staging included computerized tomography, endoscopic ultrasound, and surgical evaluation. Patients received 50.4 Gy of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to the tumor in 28 fractions. Capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab were administered concurrently with radiation therapy. After EBRT completion, patients were restaged and evaluated for surgery. Primary endpoints included the determination of dose-limiting toxicity and a recommended Phase II dose, non dose-limiting toxicity, and preliminary radiographic and pathologic response rates. RESULTS: Eleven patients were enrolled. All were evaluable for toxicity and efficacy. Dose level 2 was associated with unacceptable toxicity (primarily diarrhea). Dose level 1 had an acceptable toxicity profile. The recommended Phase II dose in our study was bevacizumab 15 mg/kg Day 1 + 10 mg/kg Days 8 and 22, oxaliplatin 50 mg/m2 weekly, and capecitabine 625 mg/m2 bid during radiation days. Six patients had clinical responses. Two patients had a pathologic complete response, and 3 had microscopic disease only. One patient experienced a postoperative abscess, one a syncopal episode during adjuvant chemotherapy, and one a subclinical myocardial infarction during adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of bevacizumab, capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and radiation therapy in rectal cancer was tolerable, with encouraging response rates. Further investigation with this regimen is being pursued in a Phase II setting.  相似文献

The purpose of this report is to summarize information on oxaliplatin, a drug recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Information provided includes regulatory history, study design, efficacy and safety results, and pertinent literature references. A single, multicenter, randomized trial, enrolling 463 patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma whose disease had recurred or progressed during or within 6 months of completion of therapy with the combination of bolus 5-fluorouracil (FU)/leucovorin (LV) and irinotecan, was submitted. Study arms included infusional 5-FU/LV alone (arm A), oxaliplatin alone (arm B), and the combination of oxaliplatin and infusional 5-FU/LV(arm C). Oxaliplatin, at a dose of 85 mg/m2, was administered to patients in arms B and C intravenously over 2 hours in 250-500 ml of dextrose 5% in water (D5W) on day 1 only. A 200-mg/m2 dose of LV was administered simultaneously to arm C patients, in a separate bag using a Y-line, or alone to arm A patients, by i.v. infusion, over 2 hours. 5-FU was then administered to arms A and C patients, first as a bolus injection over 2-4 minutes at a dose of 400 mg/m2, then as a continuous infusion in 500 ml of D5W over 22 hours at a dose of 600 mg/m2. LV was repeated on day 2 of the cycle (arms A and C) followed by a 400-mg/m2 5-FU bolus and a 600-mg/m2 22-hour infusion. Treatment was repeated every 2 weeks. Response rate was the prespecified end point for accelerated approval. Time to progression (TTP) was a secondary end point. The prespecified primary comparison was between the 5-FU/LV regimen and the 5-FU/LV/ oxaliplatin combination regimen. The three arms were well balanced for patient prognostic factors. There were no complete responders. The partial response rates were 0%, 1%, and 9% for the 5-FU/LV, oxaliplatin, and oxaliplatin plus 5-FU/LV treatments, respectively (p = 0.0002, arm C versus arm A). The median times to radiographic tumor progression, based on available radiographs, were 2.7 months, 1.6 months, and 4.6 months, respectively (p < 0.0001, arm C versus arm A). Common adverse events associated with the combination treatment included peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, and abdominal pain. Neutropenia was the major hematologic toxicity. Adverse events were similar in men and women and in patients <65 and > or =65 years of age, but older patients may have been more susceptible to dehydration, diarrhea, hypokalemia, and fatigue. Oxaliplatin in combination with infusional 5-FU/LV was approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic carcinoma of the colon or rectum whose disease has recurred or progressed during or within 6 months of completion of first-line therapy with the combination of bolus 5-FU/LV and irinotecan. Approval was based on response rate and on an interim analysis of TTP. No results are available, at this time, that demonstrate a clinical benefit, such as improvement in disease-related symptoms or survival.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: A phase I-II multicenter trial was conducted to define the maximal tolerated dose and describe the activity of an OCFL combination using oxaliplatin (OHP), irinotecan (CPT-11) and 5-fluorouracil (FU)/leucovorin (LV) in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: CRC patients not pretreated with palliative chemotherapy, with performance status < or =1 and adequate haematological, kidney and liver function, were eligible. Treatment consisted in weekly 24-h infusion 5-FU (2300 mg/m(2))/LV (30 mg) and alternating OHP (70-85 mg/m(2), days 1 and 15) and CPT-11 (80-140 mg/m(2), days 8 and 22) repeated every 5 weeks. OHP and CPT-11 were escalated in cohorts of three to six patients. RESULTS: Thirty patients received a median of five cycles. Dose-limiting toxicity occurred at dose level 3, and the recommended dose was OHP 70 mg/m(2), CPT-11 100 mg/m(2), LV 30 mg and 5-FU 2300 mg/m(2)/24 h. Grade > or =3 toxicities were diarrhea 23%, neutropenia 20%, fatigue 7%, and neurologic 7%. Two febrile neutropenia episodes (one fatal) were recorded. Among 28 patients with measurable disease (90%), we observed two complete and 20 partial responses; overall RR was 78% (95% CI, 59% to 92%). Median time to progression and overall survival were 9.5 and 25.4 months, respectively. Seven patients underwent liver metastases resection. CONCLUSION: OCFL is an overall well tolerated regimen with very high efficacy, which makes it most suitable for tumour control before surgery of metastatic disease.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: DNA damage caused by platinum agents is frequently followed by induction of topoisomerase I, providing a rationale for use of platinum-based compounds with topoisomerase I inhibitors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied the effect of a sequential schedule of oxaliplatin on day I and topotecan on days 2-5, in human colon and ovarian cancer cells in vitro, in nude mice bearing human cancer xenografts and finally in cancer patients in a phase I trial. RESULTS: We demonstrated a supra-additive effect of this combination on inhibition of colony formation and induction of apoptosis in vitro. We then demonstrated that the two agents in combination markedly inhibit tumor growth in nude mice. We translated these results into a clinical setting, conducting a phase I study in cancer patients with oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 on day 1 and topotecan at doses escalating from 0.5 to 1.5 mg/m2 on days 2-5. Sixty cycles of treatment were administered to 18 patients affected prevalently by ovarian and colorectal cancer. Combination with topotecan 1.5 mg/m2 caused a dose-limiting toxicity. Therefore the maximum tolerated dose of topotecan was 1.25 mg/m2, at which six patients experienced a mild hematological and gastrointestinal toxicity. We also obtained evidence of clinical activity, particularly in ovarian cancer. CONCLUSIONS: Our results provide a solid biological and clinical rationale for a phase II trial at the recommended doses of oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 and topotecan 1.25 mg/m2, possibly in ovarian cancer patients.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose of oxaliplatin given synchronously with 5-fluorouracil (5FU), leucovorin (LV) and preoperative pelvic radiation for primary unresectable, locally advanced, rectal cancer. Preoperative pelvic radiotherapy using a three- or four-field technique and megavoltage photons comprised 45 Gy given in 25 fractions, 1.8 Gy per fraction, and delivered with escalating doses of oxaliplatin in combination with low-dose LV and 5FU. Chemotherapy was given synchronously with radiotherapy in weeks 1 and 5. Escalating doses of oxaliplatin (85, 130 and 150 mg m(-2)) were given on days 2 and 30, followed by low-dose LV (20 mg m(-2)) and 5FU (350 mg m(-2)), both given on days 1-5 and 29-33. Surgery was performed 6-10 weeks later. The MTD was determined as the dose causing more than a third of patients to have a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Once the MTD was reached, a further 14 patients were treated at the dose level below the MTD. In all, 32 patients received oxaliplatin at the three dose levels, median age 60 years (range 31-79), 24 males and eight females. The MTD was reached at 150 mg m(-2) when four out of six patients experienced DLT. Dose-limiting grade 3 or 4 diarrhoea was reported in two out of six patients at 85 mg m(-2), 5 out of 20 at 130 mg m(-2) and four out of 6 at 150 mg m(-2). Grade 3 neuropathy was reported at 130 mg m(-2) (1 out of 20) and at 150 mg m(-2) (two out of six), and serious haematological toxicity was minimal; one grade 3 anaemia at 150 mg m(-2). In all, 28 out of 32 patients completed all treatments as planned; three had radiotherapy interrupted and three a chemotherapy dose reduction. Four patients did not proceed to surgery due to the presence of metastatic disease (two), unfitness (one) or patient refusal (one). Also, 28 patients underwent surgical resection. Histopathology demonstrated histopathological complete response (pCR) 2 out of 27 (7%), Tmic 3 out of 27 (11%), pCR+Tmic 5 out of 27 (19%), pT0-2 6 out of 27 (22%) and histologically confirmed clear circumferential resection margins in 22 out of 27 (81%). Dose-limiting toxicity with oxaliplatin is 150 mg m(-2) given days 2 and 30 when added to the described 5FU LV and 45 Gy radiation preoperatively. The acceptable toxicity and compliance at 130 mg m(-2) recommend testing this dose in future phase II studies. The tumour downstaging and complete resection rates are encouragingly high for this very locally advanced group.  相似文献

A combination therapy of irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) with continuous intravenous infusions of (infusional) 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and Leucovorin (LV) is often used to treat advanced colorectal cancer. However, recent concerns on safety and convenience have prompted the development of new oral fluoropyrimidine derivatives which improved regimens. Yamada et al conducted a phase I study to assess the maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose of S-1 combined with CPT-11. The study recommended that 150 mg/m2 of CPT-11 be given on day 1 and 80 mg/m2 of S-1 daily on days 1 to 14 every 3 weeks. Recently, several phase I/II studies assessed the efficacy and safety of the combined therapy with S-1 and CPT-11 in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Some of the studies which were ongoing assessed a tri-weekly schedule regimen. Our results showed that S-1 plus CPT-11 was very effective, with a response rate of 63% and PFS of 8 months. Toxicity was generally mild and manageable on an outpatient basis. The current evidence showed that a combination of S-1 and CPT-11 was more convenient and easier to administer than a combination of CPT-11 plus infusional 5-FU and LV. It will be essential to prove that the combination of S-1 plus CPT-11 can replace the combination of infusional 5-FU and LV plus CPT-11 without negatively affecting efficacy and toxicity.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Infusional fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) with oxaliplatin is one of the current standard regimens for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Weekly bolus 5-FU with high-dose LV (Roswell Park Memorial Institute Regimen: RPMI) is the most commonly used regimen in Japan. The objectives of this study were to determine the recommended dose (RD) of RPMI combined with oxaliplatin and to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy at the RD. METHODS: The subjects were 18 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2) was given intravenously over 2 h on days 1 and 15 with l-LV (250 mg/m2) given intravenously over 2 h and 5-FU as an intravenous bolus on days 1, 8, and 15. This treatment was repeated every 4 weeks. The dose of 5-FU was escalated from 400 mg/m2 (level 1) to 500 mg/m2 (level 2). RESULTS: A total of 14 patients received level 1, and 4 received level 2. Three of the patients had dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in cycle 1 of level 2 (grade 3 thrombocytopenia, grade 4 neutropenia and grade 2 neutropenia in one patient each), requiring that treatment was delayed for longer than 7 days. None of the 14 patients given level 1 had DLT or grade 3 or 4 gastrointestinal toxicity. Sensory neuropathy occurred in all patients. Objective response rates were 61% in the 18 patients studied and 64% at level 1. The median time to progression was 171 days, and the median overall survival time was 603 days in the 18 patients studied. CONCLUSIONS: Oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2) with weekly bolus 5-FU (400 mg/m2) and high-dose l-LV (250 mg/m2) is recommended for further phase III studies in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.  相似文献
