Objective
Activation and dimerization of the ERBB family play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of ovarian cancer. We conducted a phase II trial to evaluate the activity and tolerability of lapatinib in patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and to explore the clinical value of expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR), phosphorylated EGFR, HER-2/neu, and Ki-67, and the presence of EGFR mutations.Methods
Eligible patients had recurrent or persistent EOC or primary peritoneal carcinoma, measurable disease, and up to 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for recurrent disease. Patients were treated with lapatinib 1500 mg/day. The primary endpoint of efficacy was 6-month progression free survival (PFS).Results
Twenty-five of 28 patients were eligible and evaluable for analysis of efficacy and toxicity. Two (8.0%) were alive and progression-free at 6 months. No objective responses were observed. There were 1 grade 4 toxicity (fatigue) and few grade 3 toxicities. Associations between Ki-67 with prior platinum-free interval, PFS, and a polymorphism in EGFR were suggested.Conclusions
Lapatinib has minimal activity in recurrent ovarian cancer. Ki-67 expression may be associated with prior PFS and a polymorphism in EGFR exon 20 (2361G>A, Q787Q). 相似文献2.

Objectives
Protein kinase C (PKC) activation contributes to proliferation and angiogenesis in epithelial ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma (EOC/PPC). A multi-institutional phase II trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PKCβ inhibitor enzastaurin in persistent or recurrent EOC/PPC and to explore potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers.Methods
Eligible women with measurable platinum-sensitive and resistant EOC/PPC were treated with continuous administration of oral enzastaurin until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. A two-stage sequential design was used to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) ≥ 6-months, tumor response, and toxicity. Translational studies included sequencing of the TP53, PTEN, PIK3CA and PKCβII genes for somatic mutations, quantitative PCR assays for AKT2 and PTEN copy number alterations, and measurement of circulating VEGF-A plasma levels.Results
Among 27 eligible and evaluable patients, 3 women with PFS ≥ 6-months (11%) and 2 women with partial responses (7%) were observed. One of them achieved a durable response and remains on the study. No grade 4 adverse events were observed. Most common grade 3 adverse events were constitutional (4) and gastrointestinal (3). Mutations in the TP53 gene and abnormal copy number in the PTEN gene were common (56% and 48% of cases, respectively).Conclusions
Enzastaurin was tolerable but had insufficient activity to proceed with the second stage of accrual. However, 1 patient has been progression-free for 44 months. No association between a biomarker and response to enzastaurin has been found. Exploratory analysis suggested an association between survival and PTEN copy number losses. 相似文献3.

Objective
To explore feasibility of measuring tumor blood flow as marker for antiangiogenic activity using DCE-MRI (Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging) in women with recurrent EOC/PPC treated with bevacizumab.Methods
In a phase II study, 62 patients with recurrent/persistent EOC/PPC were treated with bevacizumab (15 mg/kg IV q21days) until disease progression. DCE-MRI was performed pre-cycle 1 and 4 of bevacizumab. Images were analyzed retrospectively by a single experienced blinded radiologist. Tumor and muscle contrast enhancement was measured by region of interest signal intensity within the same DCE-MRI images. Flow rates were obtained with concentration of dye as a function of time. Relative blood flow (RBF) was calculated as a ratio of average blood flow into tumor to muscle tissue. Associations between RBF and characteristics/outcomes were explored.Results
Sixty-two patients were eligible for study. Unfortunately, only 14 (23%) patients had imaging data available for analysis at baseline and 13 of those same patients (21%) had imaging data available for analysis pre-cycle 4. The RBF distribution was similar from pre-cycle 1 to 4. RBF remained stable for the majority of the cases (median change -0.21). Baseline RBF was not significantly associated with being progression-free at 6 months, microvessel density, 17 month overall survival, tumor response, or platinum sensitivity. However, increases in blood flow rates were associated with likelihood to be progression-free at 6 months.Conclusion
Functional imaging of tumor blood flow is a potential research endpoint that may be explored further. Consideration should be given to timing of endpoint and standardizing the technique. 相似文献4.

Objective
This study evaluated common polymorphisms in excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) involved in repair of platinum-induced DNA damage in advanced-stage, epithelial ovarian/peritoneal/tubal cancer (EOC/PPC/FTC) patients treated with intravenous carboplatin- and paclitaxel-based chemotherapy.Methods
Pyrosequencing was performed to examine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in codon 118 and C8092A in ERCC1 in leukocyte DNA from the Gynecologic Oncology Group phase III protocol, GOG-182. Kaplan-Meier method and adjusted Cox regression modeling were used to examine associations between ERCC1 polymorphisms and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).Results
The genotype distribution at codon 118 (n = 278) in ERCC1 for CC, CT, and TT was 23%, 45% and 32%, and the median OS was 32, 47 and 43 months, respectively. Patients with the CT + TT versus CC genotype in codon 118 in ERCC1 were at a reduced risk of death (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.49-0.95, p = 0.025). The genotype distribution for C8092A in ERCC1 (N = 280) was 50%, 42% and 8%, and the median OS was 45, 40 or 30 months for CC, CA and AA, respectively. Women with the CA + AA versus CC genotype in C8092A in ERCC1 had a trend suggesting an increased risk of death (HR = 1.29, 95% CI = 0.97-1.72, p = 0.077).Conclusions
The polymorphism in codon 118 in the DNA repair gene ERCC1 was an independent predictor for better survival in EOC/PPC/FTC patients treated with intravenous carboplatin- and paclitaxel-based chemotherapy. The relationship between the C8092A polymorphisms in ERCC1 and survival was modest with an effect size that was not always statistically significant. 相似文献5.

Objective
Weekly paclitaxel has been shown to be an effective cytotoxic regimen for recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and may act through inhibition of angiogenesis. Bevacizumab, a potent angiogenesis inhibitor, has also been shown to have activity in patients with EOC. Therefore, we sought to determine if the addition of bevacizumab to weekly paclitaxel led to an increased survival compared to weekly paclitaxel alone.Methods
A single institutional review was conducted for patients with recurrent EOC treated with weekly paclitaxel (60-70 mg/m2) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a 28 day cycle and those treated with weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab (10-15 mg/kg on day 1 and 15). Response rates (RR) were calculated, and progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.Results
Twenty-nine patients treated with weekly paclitaxel and 41 patients treated with paclitaxel/bevacizumab were identified. The groups were similar in demographics, initial optimal cytoreduction, stage, histology, grade, platinum sensitivity, and median number of previous regimens (4 vs. 4, p = 0.69).The overall response rate (ORR) was 63% (complete response (CR) 34% and partial response (PR) 29%) for paclitaxel/bevacizumab and 48% (CR 17% and PR 31%) for weekly paclitaxel (p = 0.23). Improvement in PFS was seen in those treated with paclitaxel/bevacizumab in comparison to weekly paclitaxel alone (median PFS 13.2 vs. 6.2 months, p < .01). There was a trend towards improved OS for paclitaxel/bevacizumab (median OS 20.6 vs. 9.1 months; p = 0.12). Toxicities were similar between the two regimens although more bowel perforations (2 vs. 0) were seen in the paclitaxel/bevacizumab group.Conclusion
A significant increase in PFS with a trend towards improved OS was demonstrated in this heavily pretreated population treated with paclitaxel/bevacizumab as compared to weekly paclitaxel alone. This data should be helpful in guiding future trials to determine the optimal care for women with recurrent EOC. 相似文献6.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of whole abdomen radiation as a chemosensitizer of weekly docetaxel for women with recurrent epithelial ovarian fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancers.Patients and methods
Women were enrolled on one of three dose levels of docetaxel (20, 25, or 30 mg/m2) administered weekly with concurrent low-dose whole abdominal radiation given as 60 cGy bid 2 days weekly for a total of 6 weeks.Results
Thirteen women were enrolled and received 70 weekly treatments of docetaxel in combination with radiation therapy. At the first dose level, docetaxel 25 mg/m2, grade 3 fatigue and thrombocytopenia were observed. At the next dose level, docetaxel 30 mg/m2, grade 3 febrile neutropenia, grade 4 thrombocytopenia with epistaxis, and grade 3 diarrhea were observed. Given these dose-limiting toxicities, a lower dose of docetaxel 20 mg/m2 was administered and found to be tolerable. No objective responses were observed among the 10 patients with measurable disease; however, the median progression-free survival (PFS) in all patients was 3.3 months, and 3 of the patients with measurable disease were free of tumor progression after 6 months (30%; 90% confidence interval 8.7-61%).Conclusions
Twice weekly low-dose whole abdomen radiation during weekly docetaxel 20 mg/m2 was well-tolerated. Given the PFS demonstrated in these women with resistant ovarian cancer, further study of whole abdominal radiation and concurrent chemotherapy may be warranted. 相似文献7.

Objective
Excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) is required for the repair of platinum-induced DNA damage. This study sought to assess the prognostic value of ERCC1 expression, measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using a highly specific antibody, in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.Methods
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumors were collected from two GOG phase III trials (GOG-172 and GOG-182) of patients with stage III/IV EOC treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. ERCC1 was detected by (IHC) using FL297 polyclonal antibody and tumors were categorized as negative or positive, based on nuclear staining of tumor cells. ERCC1 genotyping was performed as previously reported. Associations between ERCC1 expression and clinical characteristics, platinum responsiveness, progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) were evaluated.Results
Of 408 eligible patients, 27% had tumors that were ERCC1 positive. ERCC1 expression was not associated with clinical characteristics or platinum-responsiveness. Women with ERCC1-positive versus -negative tumors had similar median PFS (17.9 months versus 17.5 months, respectively, p = 0.59), median OS (52.0 months versus 47.0 months, respectively, p = 0.30), risk of disease progression (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71-1.15, p = 0.41), and risk of death (adjusted HR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.61-1.07, p = 0.14). ERCC1 expression, as measured by IHC, was not associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in codon 118 and C8092A, of the ERCC1 gene.Conclusions
ERCC1 expression, measured by IHC in pre-treatment tumor specimens, using a highly specific antibody, has limited clinical value in patients with advanced EOC treated with platinum and taxane based chemotherapy. 相似文献8.

Objective
Patients with persistent/recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer/primary peritoneal cancer (EOC/PPC) have limited treatment options. AKT and PI3K pathway activation is common in EOC/PPC, resulting in constitutive activation of downstream mTOR. The GOG conducted a phase II evaluation of efficacy and safety for the mTOR inhibitor, temsirolimus in EOC/PPC and explored circulating tumor cells (CTC) and AKT/mTOR/downstream tumor markers.Methods
Eligible women with measurable, persistent/recurrent EOC/PPC who had received 1–3 prior regimens were treated with 25 mg weekly IV temsirolimus until progression or intolerable toxicity. Primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) ≥ 6-months, tumor response, and toxicity. CellSearch® system was used to examine CTC, and AKT/mTOR/downstream markers were evaluated by archival tumor immunohistochemistry. Kendall's tau-b correlation coefficient (r) and Cox regression modeling were used to explore marker associations with baseline characteristics and outcome.Results
Sixty patients were enrolled in a two-stage sequential design. Of 54 eligible and evaluable patients, 24.1% (90% CI 14.9%–38.6%) had PFS ≥ 6 months (median 3.1 months), 9.3% (90% CI 3.7%–23.4%) experienced a partial response. Grade 3/4 adverse events included metabolic (8), gastrointestinal (8), pain (6), constitutional (5) and pulmonary (4). Suggested associations were between cyclin D1 and PFS ≥ 6 months, PFS or survival; positive CTC pre-treatment and lack of response; and high CTC expression of M30 and PFS ≥ 6 months/longer PFS.Conclusions
Temsirolimus appears to have modest activity in persistent/recurrent EOC/PPC; however, PFS is just below that required to warrant inclusion in phase III studies in unselected patients. Cyclin D1 as a selection marker and CTC measures merit further study. 相似文献9.

Purpose
Efflux transporters of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family are major determinants of chemoresistance in tumor cells. This study examined associations between functional variants in ABCB1, ABCC2 and ABCG2 genes and clinical outcomes in patients with epithelial ovarian/primary peritoneal cancer (EOC/PPC) following platinum and taxane-based chemotherapy.Methods
Sequenom iPLEXTMGOLD Assay and MALDI-TOF platform were used to genotype the non-synonymous G2677T/A (rs2032582; encoding Ala893Ser/Thr) and synonymous C3435T (rs1045642; encoding Ile1145Ile) variants in ABCB1, the non-synonymous G1249A variant in ABCC2 (rs2273697; encoding Val417Ile), and the non-synonymous C421A variant in ABCG2 (rs2231142; encoding Q141K, Gln141Lys) in normal DNA from up to 511 women in Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) phase III trials, GOG-172 or GOG-182. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed in relation to genetic polymorphisms using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards model.Results
The C421A variant (CA + AA versus CC) in ABCG2 was associated with a 6-month longer median PFS (22.7 versus 16.8 months, p = 0.041). In multivariate analysis, patients with variant genotypes were at a reduced risk of disease progression (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.75, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.59-0.96, p = 0.022). The association between C421A and OS was not statistically significant (HR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.67-1.15, p = 0.356). None of the other variants measured in either ABCB1 or ABCC2 was associated with PFS or OS.Conclusion
The C421A variant in ABCG2, previously shown to be associated with enhanced protein degradation and drug sensitivity, was associated with longer PFS in advanced stage EOC/PPC patents treated with platinum + taxane-based chemotherapy. This finding requires further validation. 相似文献10.

Objectives
To evaluate the efficacy and adverse events of thalidomide in previously-treated, measurable, persistent or recurrent carcinosarcoma of the uterus, and to explore associations between angiogenic markers with patient demographics and clinical outcome.Methods
Eligible, consenting patients were treated until disease progression or toxicity intervened with daily starting dose of 200 mg thalidomide/day that was increased by 200 mg every 2 weeks to a target dose of 1000 mg/day. Endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) ≥ 6 months (primary), toxicity, response, overall PFS and survival. Pre- and post-treatment plasma were evaluated for a panel of angiogenic biomarkers and assessed against clinical outcomes.Results
Of 55 enrolled patients, 45 were evaluable for toxicity and survival. Two patients (4%; 90% CI 1-13%) experienced a partial response, and 8 (18%; 90% CI 9-30%) had PFS ≥ 6 months. Median PFS was 1.9 months and median survival was 5.9 months. Grade 2-3 sensory neuropathy was noted in 6 patients, and 4, 3, and 3 patients experienced grade 3 sedation, fatigue, and constipation, respectively. Three patients had grade 4 adverse events (2 thromboembolic, 1 anemia). High pre-treatment VEGFA levels were associated with poorer PFS and survival.Conclusions
Treatment with thalidomide met the protocol specified goal of prolonging PFS at 6 months. However, based on results with newer agents, the activity was insufficient to support further investigation. Association between pre-treatment VEGFA and prognosis in this population supports further evaluation of anti-angiogenic therapies in uterine carcinosarcoma. 相似文献11.

Purpose
The Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) conducted a phase II trial to assess the efficacy and tolerability of the anti-EGFR antibody cetuximab, in persistent or recurrent carcinoma of the cervix.Patients and methods
Eligible patients had cervical cancer, measurable disease, and GOG performance status ≤ 2. Treatment consisted of cetuximab 400 mg/m2 initial dose followed by 250 mg/m2 weekly until disease progression or prohibitive toxicity. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months and response. The study used a 2-stage group sequential design.Results
Thirty-eight patients were entered with 3 exclusions, leaving 35 evaluable for analysis. Thirty-one patients (88.6%) received prior radiation as well as either 1 (n = 25, 71.4%) or 2 (n = 10) prior cytotoxic regimens. Twenty-four patients (68.6%) had a squamous cell carcinoma. Grade 3 adverse events possibly related to cetuximab included dermatologic (n = 5), GI (n = 4), anemia (n = 2), constitutional (n = 3), infection (n = 2), vascular (n = 2), pain (n = 2), and pulmonary, neurological, vomiting and metabolic (n = 1 each). No clinical responses were detected. Five patients (14.3%; two-sided 90% CI, 5.8% to 30%) survived without progression for at least 6 months. The median PFS and overall survival (OS) times were 1.97 and 6.7 months, respectively. In this study, all patients with PFS at 6 months harbored tumors with squamous cell histology.Conclusion
Cetuximab is well tolerated but has limited activity in this population. Cetuximab activity may be limited to patients with squamous cell histology. 相似文献12.

Objective
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination bevacizumab/pemetrexed for the treatment of recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods
Platinum-sensitive or -resistant patients with recurrent or persistent EOC were eligible if they had received up to 2 prior chemotherapy regimens, including a platinum/taxane regimen without prior bevacizumab. Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 IV and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV were administered every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival (PFS); other endpoints included toxicities, PFS and overall survival (OS).Results
Thirty-four patients received a median of 7 treatment cycles (range, 2–26). Median follow-up was 25.7 months (range, 3.0–47.2). Six month progression-free survival (PFS) was 56% (95% CI: 38–71). The following response rates were documented (%; 95% CI): 0 complete response, 14 partial responses (41%; 25–59), 18 stable disease (53%; 35–70) and 2 progressive disease (6%; 1–20). Median PFS was 7.9 months (95% CI, 4.6–10.9), with a median OS of 25.7 months (95% CI, 15.4–29.8). Twenty-two patients (64.7%) had a platinum-free interval (PFI) of > 6 months prior to enrollment. Grade 3–4 hematologic toxicities included neutropenia (50%), leukopenia (26%), thrombocytopenia (12%) and anemia (9%). Non-hematologic grade 3–4 toxicities included metabolic (29%), constitutional (18%), pain (18%) and gastrointestinal (15%). Two patients developed hematologic malignancies within one year of treatment.Conclusions
Combination bevacizumab/pemetrexed is an active option for both platinum-sensitive and -resistant recurrent EOC. Further investigation of cost and novel toxicities associated with this regimen may be warranted. 相似文献13.

Background
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cetuximab (C225), an antibody that inhibits epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activity, with cisplatin and to explore associations between EGFR protein expression with patient demographics or clinical outcome.Methods
Women with advanced, persistent, or recurrent carcinoma of the cervix were eligible. The women received cisplatin at 30 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 with a loading dose of cetuximab at 400 mg/m2 followed by 250 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15 in a 21 day cycle. Adverse events were assessed with CTCAE v 3.0. Primary measure of efficacy was tumor response by RECIST. The study was stratified by prior chemotherapy (CT). EGFR protein expression in pre-treatment tumor was analyzed by immunohistochemistry.Results
Between September 2004 and March 2008, 76 patients were enrolled. Of these, 69 were eligible and evaluable; 44 (64%) received prior chemotherapy. There were 4 responses in each group, prior chemotherapy and no chemotherapy, 9% and 16%, respectively. Grade 4 toxicities included anemia (1), allergy (1), metabolic (1), and vascular (1). The most common grade 3 toxicities were metabolic (15), dermatologic (8), fatigue (6), and gastrointestinal (6). EGFR protein was expressed in 47/48 (98%) of tumors analyzed with a median cellular expression of 81%. Exploratory analyses revealed a trend between the percentage of cells expressing EGFR protein and PFS (hazard ratio = 1.76, 95% confidence interval = 0.96-3.21).Conclusions
The combination of cetuximab with cisplatin was adequately tolerated but did not indicate additional benefit beyond cisplatin therapy. 相似文献14.

Objective
A phase II trial was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER2, lapatinib, and to explore EGFR, HER2 (EGFR2), phosphorylated ERK MAP kinase (pERK), and Ki67 expression, as well as EGFR mutations in persistent/recurrent endometrial cancer (EC).Methods
Women with histologically-confirmed, measurable, persistent/recurrent EC following one or two prior regimens were eligible and treated with 1500 mg oral lapatinib daily until progression or severe toxicity. A 2-stage group sequential design was used to evaluate the regimen with 6 month PFS as the primary endpoint. The trial had a 10% type I error rate with 90% power. EGFR, HER2, pERK, and Ki67 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) from hysterectomy specimens, pre-treatment biopsies, and post-treatment biopsies (when available). Exons 18-21 of EGFR were sequenced.Results
Three patients of 30 evaluable had PFS ≥ 6 months, one had a partial response, seven had stable disease, 21 had progressive disease and one was indeterminate. Three mutations in EGFR were identified. Two of these, L688F and K754E, were not associated with response or PFS. However, a newly identified mutation in exon 18, E690K, occurred in the patient with a partial response and progression-free survival extending past six months.Conclusion
While lapatinib has limited activity in unselected cases, the identification of a previously unreported mutation in EGFR (E690K) with a response suggests that lapatinib may be beneficial in some cases of EC. 相似文献15.
Introduction
Randomized trials have demonstrated significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) with consolidation paclitaxel (P) and bevacizumab (B) following cytoreduction and adjuvant carboplatin/paclitaxel (CP) for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We sought to evaluate the cost-effectiveness (C/E) of these consolidation strategies.Methods
A decision model was developed based on Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) protocols #178 and #218. Arm 1 is 6 cycles of CP. Arm 2 is 6 cycles of CP followed by 12 cycles of P (CP + P). Arm 3 is 1 cycle of CP, 5 cycles of CPB, and 16 cycles of B (CPB + B). Parameters include PFS, overall survival (OS), cost, complications (neuropathy for P and bowel perforation for B), and quality-of-life utility values. Sensitivity analyses were performed.Results
The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for CT + T is $13,402/quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained compared to CP. For CPB + B compared to CP, the ICER is $326,530/QALY. When compared simultaneously, CPB + B is dominated, i.e. is more costly and less effective than CP + P. Results were robust to parameter variation. At a willingness to pay threshold of $100,000/QALY, CP + P was the preferred option throughout most of the decision space. Sensitivity analyses suggest that CPB + B would become the preferred option if it were to improve OS by 6.1 years over CP + P.Conclusions
In this model, B consolidation for advanced EOC was associated with a modest improvement in effectiveness that is less than that with P consolidation and more costly. A statistically significant improvement in survival may improve the value of B consolidation. 相似文献16.

Objective
The study aims to evaluate the anti-tumor activity and toxicity of gemcitabine in patients with persistent or recurrent endometrial carcinoma.Methods
Patients with advanced or recurrent carcinoma of the endometrium previously treated with one chemotherapy regimen were treated on a phase II trial conducted by the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG). Gemcitabine was administered as an intravenous infusion at a dose of 800 mg/m2 over 30 min on days 1 and 8 every 21 days.Results
Twenty-four patients were entered by 11 GOG member institutions. One patient was ineligible due to wrong primary tumor. A total of ninety 21-day cycles of therapy were administered with 35% of patients receiving four or more cycles. All patients had been previously treated with a platinum-based regimen. One patient had a partial response (4%), nine had stable disease (39%), and twelve had increasing disease (52%). The median progression-free survival was 1.7 months. Treatment was generally well tolerated with only 22% of patients experiencing grade 3 or grade 4 hematologic toxicity. There was one treated-related death due to pulmonary toxicity.Conclusion
Gemcitabine has minimal activity in the treatment of recurrent or persistent endometrial carcinoma at the dose and schedule tested. 相似文献17.

Objective
Hypersensitivity reactions can preclude platinum re-challenge for patients receiving second-line and higher carboplatin/cisplatin salvage therapy. The objective is to report our patient experience with oxaliplatin in recurrent or progressive epithelial ovarian (EOC), primary peritoneal (PPC) or fallopian tube cancer (FTC), including those with prior hypersensitivity reaction.Methods
A single institution, retrospective review from 1995 to 2012 of patients receiving oxaliplatin for treatment of recurrent or progressive EOC, PPC, or FTC was performed. Data collected included patient demographics, diagnosis date, prior chemotherapy regimens, platinum-free interval(s), prior hypersensitivity reactions, oxaliplatin toxicity, length of therapy, disease response, and last follow-up. Those who received ≥ 1 cycles were included. A response to therapy was determined after ≥ 2 cycles.Results
Forty-four patients were identified. All had prior carboplatin and 38.6% had prior cisplatin therapy. Twenty-three had a prior platinum hypersensitivity reaction. Patients received a median of 2 prior platinum containing regimens and 5 chemotherapy lines prior to oxaliplatin exposure. One patient experienced grade 3 pain. No grade 4 toxicities occurred. No treatment delays for pancytopenia noted. Nausea and dysesthesias were controlled medically and weren't dose-limiting. No nephropathy or neuropathy progressed on oxaliplatin or were dose-limiting. Disease response was observed in 43.2%. Of the responders, 36.8% had a prior platinum hypersensitivity reaction. Median number of 5 cycles of an oxaliplatin containing regimen was given. Median follow-up was 15.5 months.Conclusions
In our experience, oxaliplatin is well tolerated and should be considered for platinum challenge after hypersensitivity even in patients with platinum resistant disease with a reasonable chance of response. 相似文献18.

Background
Nab-paclitaxel is a novel Cremophor®-free nanoparticle of albumin-stabilized paclitaxel, which has favorable efficacy and toxicity characteristics relative to other solvent-based taxanes, such as paclitaxel and docetaxel.Methods
Eligible patients had platinum- and taxane-resistant ovarian cancer, defined by persistent or progressive disease following primary chemotherapy (n = 5) or recurrence within 6 months of treatment completion (n = 42). All patients had measurable disease, no prior therapy for recurrent disease and Gynecologic Oncology Group performance status of ≤ 2. Treatment was nab-paclitaxel, 100 mg/m2 days 1, 8, and 15 on a 28-day schedule. The primary endpoint was Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.0 response rate, evaluated in a 2-stage design (with power of 0.90 for a RR of 25% and with alpha of 0.05 for RR of 10%).Results
Fifty-one patients were enrolled of which 47 were evaluable; median time from frontline therapy completion to registration was 21 days. Patient demographics include median age: 59 (34-78) years, serous histology: 72%, and high-grade: 81%. Efficacy: one complete and 10 partial responses were confirmed (23%); 17 patients (36%) had stable disease. The median progression-free survival was 4.5 months (95% CI: 2.2-6.7); overall survival was 17.4 months (95% CI: 13.2-20.8). Seventeen patients (36%) had PFS >6 months. Toxicity: there were no grade 4 events; grade 3 events were neutropenia (6), anemia (3), GI (2), metabolic (2), pain (2), and leukopenia (1); neurosensory toxicity was observed as grade 2:5, grade 3:1.Conclusions
Nab-paclitaxel has noteworthy single-agent activity and is tolerable in this cohort of refractory ovarian cancer patients previously treated with paclitaxel. 相似文献19.
Objective
To estimate activity and safety of trabectedin 1.5 mg/m2 IV over 24 hours every 3 weeks (1 cycle) in uterine leiomyosarcoma.Methods
Patients with chemotherapy naive, advanced, persistent or recurrent uterine leiomyosarcoma, acceptable organ function and PS ≤ 2 were eligible. A two-stage design was utilized. Three responses were required in the first stage to initiate the second stage; the target sample size was 40 for the combined stages. If the true response rate was 10%, the study design provided a 95% chance of correctly classifying the treatment as “inactive.” Conversely, if the true response rate was 30%, then the average probability of correctly classifying the treatment as active would be 90%.Results
Twenty patients were eligible and evaluable. The median number of cycles was 10 (123 total cycles, range 2-29). The number of patients with partial responses was 2 (10%; 95% confidence interval of 1.2%-31.7%). Response durations were 3.3 and 5.7 months. Ten patients had stable disease (50%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were 5.8 months and greater than 26.1 months (median not reached), respectively. Observed grade 3/4 toxicity included: neutropenia 16/20 (1 infection); thrombocytopenia 3/20; metabolic 3/20; anemia, gastrointestinal and vascular 1/20 each. There were no treatment related deaths nor cases of liver failure.Conclusions
Although a second stage of accrual was not indicated based on the overall response rate, the drug was well tolerated. 相似文献20.
