First-line bevacizumab,cisplatin and vinorelbine plus maintenance bevacizumab in advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer chemo-naïve patients

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of first-line treatment with bevacizumab, cisplatin and vinorelbine and bevacizumab maintenance in non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Research design and methods: Forty-nine patients with stage IIIB plus pleural effusion or stage IV NSCLC were included in a Phase II clinical trial. Treatment consisted of 3-week cycles of bevacizumab (15 mg/kg on day 1), cisplatin (80 mg/m² on day 1) and vinorelbine (25 mg/m² on days 1 and 8). After 6 cycles, non-progressing patients received bevacizumab maintenance therapy. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS), calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method.

Results: Thirteen (29%) of 45 evaluable patients presented a partial response. PFS and overall survival were 6.0 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 4.5 – 7.5) and 14.7 months (95% CI 8.4 – 21), respectively. Fourteen patients (28%) experienced grade 3 – 4 neutropenia and 7 (14%) experienced febrile neutropenia during the combination treatment. During the maintenance phase, the most frequent grade 3 – 4 adverse event was hypertension. Neither grade 3 – 4 thrombocytopenia nor toxic death was observed.

Conclusions: The studied regimen achieved a similar efficacy to other regimens containing platinum doublets. The data provide further evidence that bevacizumab may be used in combination with multiple standard platinum-based doublets in this setting.     

Bevacizumab as First-Line Therapy in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Brazilian Center Experience

Objectives

Bevacizumab has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a first-line therapy for metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel. A single Latin American center experience was reviewed to determine the safety and efficacy of adding bevacizumab to first-line chemotherapy in a local population.

Methods

We retrospectively identified patients with non-squamous NSCLC treated with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy combinations as first-line chemotherapy between July 1, 2006, and January 30, 2011, at Sirio Libanes Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We collected data on patient characteristics, treatment combinations, toxicities, response to treatment, and survival. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated by Kaplan-Meier analysis, and prognostic factors were identified by the Cox regression model.

Results

A total of 56 patients were included in the final analysis (median age 62.4 years; 70% male). In 35 patients (62.5%), bevacizumab was combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel, and in 16 patients (28.6%), it was combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin. The response rate evaluated by the reference clinical team reached 74.5%, the median PFS was 5.3 months, and the median OS was 14.8 months. In multivariate analysis, use of maintenance therapy was the only predictive factor for OS (hazard ratio 6.85, 95% confidence interval 2.94–15.22). No treatment-related deaths were identified, and the overall incidence of grade 3–4 non-hematologic toxicities was 16%.

Conclusion

Our results confirm the efficacy and safety data of bevacizumab first-line combinations for NSCLC in a Brazilian population.

Bevacizumab: a review of its use in combination with paclitaxel or capecitabine as first-line therapy for HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer

Bevacizumab (Avastin?) is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor. In patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer, bevacizumab is indicated as first-line therapy in combination with paclitaxel, or in combination with capecitabine when treatment with other chemotherapy options, including taxanes or anthracyclines, is not considered appropriate. This article reviews the efficacy and tolerability of these combination therapies in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer, and summarizes the pharmacological properties of bevacizumab. In randomized, controlled, phase III trials in patients with predominantly HER2-negative metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer, the addition of bevacizumab to paclitaxel or capecitabine significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS; investigator assessment) by a median of 5.9 and 2.9 months, respectively, relative to paclitaxel or capecitabine alone. It also significantly increased the objective response rate, but not overall survival. Independent reviews of data supported the results of the primary analyses of investigator-assessed PFS. However, as the efficacy of bevacizumab in combination with capecitabine appears to be less than that of other available options, it should be used only if treatment with other chemotherapy options are not considered appropriate. The addition of bevacizumab to paclitaxel had no significant adverse effects on health-related quality of life. Efficacy data from two routine clinical practice studies were generally consistent with those from the phase III trials. Bevacizumab had generally acceptable tolerability when administered in combination with paclitaxel or capecitabine as first-line therapy in these studies, and adverse events were consistent with the known tolerability profiles of the individual agents. The most common adverse events associated with bevacizumab combination therapy in phase III trials were sensory neuropathy and grade ≥3 hypertension, occurring more frequently with combination therapy than with chemotherapy alone. Potentially life-threatening events, such as venous thromboembolism, gastrointestinal perforation, arterial thromboembolism, haemorrhage and left ventricular dysfunction, occurred in ≤5% of patients receiving combination therapy in these trials. In conclusion, bevacizumab administered in combination with paclitaxel, or in combination with capecitabine if other chemotherapy regimens are not appropriate, may be considered as an option for the first-line treatment of patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.     

贝伐单抗与乳腺癌治疗

贝伐单抗的乳腺癌适应证被美国FDA撤销,却被欧盟EMA保留。E2100、AVF2119g、RIBBON-1和AVADO试验均表明,在转移性乳腺癌的治疗中,合并贝伐单抗能显著延长无进展生存期（PFS）。与曲妥珠单抗联合治疗Her-2阳性乳腺癌的AVEREL研究的前期结果同样显示贝伐单抗能显著提高PFS。在新辅助化疗的NSABP B-40和GBG44研究也取得了积极的结果,特别是在三阴性乳腺癌的新辅助化疗中,贝伐单抗显著提高了病理完全缓解率（pCR）。然而这些研究均未显著提高总生存率（OS）。同时药物经济学研究显示：贝伐单抗PFS每增加1年,医疗费用增加204 000美元,约合130万人民币。这些都提示贝伐单抗不适合作为乳腺癌的一线治疗药物。最新的实验室研究显示,抗血管生成治疗可能因肿瘤缩小而发生转移,这也许是贝伐单抗只提高PFS而不显著提高OS的原因。需要更多的试验获得贝伐单抗适用人群。     

贝伐单抗联合化疗治疗复发性卵巢癌的临床研究

目的 探讨分析贝伐单抗联合化疗治疗复发性卵巢癌的临床效果.方法 采用前瞻性研究方法,选取经病理学证实为复发性卵巢癌的患者36例,均给予培美曲塞+洛铂化疗,3周为1个周期,共4～6个周期.在化疗前给予贝伐单抗,7.5 mg/kg,化疗前1h输注,共2个周期.评估该方案治疗有效率,并记录药物不良反应发生情况.随访观察患者生存时间.结果 完全缓解(CR)5例,部分缓解(PR) 13例,稳定(SD) 10例,进展(PD)8例,有效率(RR)为50.0％(18/36),疾病控制率(DCR)为77.8％(28/36).主要不良反应为胃肠道反应、骨髓抑制及高血压.随访结果显示,患者总生存期(OS)为(15.4±2.4)月,无疾病进展生存时间(PFS)为(10.2±2.6)月.结论 对于复发性卵巢癌,贝伐单抗联合化疗可获得良好的临床疗效,可作为备选治疗方案.     

An indirect comparison of the efficacy of bevacizumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel versus pemetrexed with cisplatin in patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract

Objective:

There are two new treatment options available for the treatment of adenocarcinoma histology non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which offer improved benefit in terms of progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) over chemotherapy. Both bevacizumab and pemetrexed when combined with chemotherapy significantly increase PFS and OS in patients with advanced NSCLC versus chemotherapy alone. The aim of this analysis was to compare the efficacy for patients with non-squamous adenocarcinoma NSCLC treated with bevacizumab, carboplatin and paclitaxel (BCP) to pemetrexed and cisplatin (PC) by using indirect comparison (ITC) methodology.     

Adjuvant docetaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy administered alone or with radiotherapy in a “sandwich” protocol in patients with advanced endometrial cancer: a single-institution experience

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of adjuvant chemotherapy administered alone or with radiotherapy in a “sandwich” protocol in patients with advanced endometrial cancer.

Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of patients with staged III – IV disease who received adjuvant chemotherapy (docetaxel plus carboplatin) administered alone or interposed with radiotherapy between January 2004 and August 2010.

Results: Of the 35 study patients, 10 (28.6%) had stage IIIA disease, 15 (42.9%) had IIIC1 disease, 7 (20.0%) had IIIC2 disease and 3 (8.6%) had IVB disease. Nine (90.0%) of the 10 patients with stage IIIA disease received four to six cycles of adjuvant docetaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy alone. All 25 patients with stage IIIC – IVB disease and 1 patient with stage IIIA disease received radiotherapy sandwiched between chemotherapy cycles (total, three to six cycles). The 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 73.0 and 87.0%, respectively, for all patients. For patients with stage IIIC – IVB disease, the 3-year PFS and OS rates were 62.4 and 81.8%, respectively.

Conclusion: Combination chemotherapy with docetaxel and carboplatin interposed with radiotherapy is efficacious and well tolerated for stage IIIC – IVB endometrial cancer. Adjuvant chemotherapy alone with docetaxel and carboplatin might be sufficient for stage IIIA disease.
