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.     

Phase II study to assess the efficacy of conventionally fractionated radiotherapy followed by a stereotactic radiosurgery boost in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer

PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy of concurrent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) followed by body stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: In this prospective study, all patients (19) had pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma and were uniformly staged. Our treatment protocol consisted of 45 Gy IMRT with concurrent 5-FU followed by a 25 Gy SRS boost to the primary tumor. RESULTS: Sixteen patients completed the planned therapy. Two patients experienced Grade 3 toxicity (none had more than Grade 3 toxicity). Fifteen of these 16 patients were free from local progression until death. Median overall survival was 33 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: Concurrent IMRT and 5-FU followed by SRS in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer results in excellent local control, but does not improve overall survival and is associated with more toxicity than SRS, alone.     

Daily low-dose cisplatin plus concurrent high-dose thoracic radiotherapy in elderly patients with locally advanced unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer

There are few prospective studies of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in elderly patients with locally advanced unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), although the therapy has proved superior to radiotherapy alone for the treatment of younger patients. We conducted a pilot study to assess the tolerance and efficacy of concurrent cisplatin and thoracic radiation in elderly patients with locally advanced unresectable NSCLC. Eligible patients were more than 71 years old and had unresectable Stage I, II, or III NSCLC. Cisplatin was administered at 6 mg/m2 daily intravenously on days 1 through 5, days 8 through 12, days 29 through 33 and days 36 through 40. Beginning day on 1, thoracic radiation was delivered at 2.0 Gy daily to a total dose of 60 Gy. Twelve patients were registered and 11 were eligible. Patient characteristics were ages of 73 to 80 years, and stage III A (18%) and stage III B (73%) NSCLC. The most common grade 3 toxicities included leukopenia (20%) and thrombocytopenia (9%). Grades 3/4 elevation of serum creatinin, esophagitis and pneumonitis did not occur. The overall confirmed response rate was 82%, and median overall survival was 23 months. The 2-year survival rate was 53%. This chemoradiotherapy regimen is well tolerated with promising response and survival in elderly patients with unresectable NSCLC.     

Phase I trial of twice-weekly gemcitabine and concurrent radiation in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

PURPOSE: To determine the maximum-tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicities, and potential antitumor activity of twice-weekly gemcitabine and concurrent radiation in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Nineteen patients with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the pancreas were studied at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The initial dose of gemcitabine was 20 mg/m(2) by 30-minute intravenous infusion each Monday and Thursday for 5 weeks concurrent with 50.4 Gy of radiation to the pancreas. Gemcitabine doses were escalated in 20-mg/m(2) increments in successive cohorts of three to six additional patients until dose-limiting toxicity was observed. RESULTS: The dose-limiting toxicities at 60 mg/m(2) given twice-weekly were nausea/vomiting, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia. Twice-weekly gemcitabine at a 40-mg/m(2) dose was well tolerated. Of the eight patients eligible for a minimum follow-up of 12 months, three remain alive, one of whom has no evidence of disease progression. CONCLUSION: A dose of twice-weekly gemcitabine at 40 mg/m(2) produced mild thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, nausea, and vomiting when delivered with concurrent radiation to the upper abdomen in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. These data suggest this regimen is well tolerated and may possess significant activity. These data and other observations have resulted in a phase II Cancer and Leukemia Group B study to ascertain the efficacy of this treatment regimen in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.     

Chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced pancreatic cancer: A literature review and report of two cases

The optimal treatment of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer remains to be elucidated. Chemo-radiotherapy is regarded as the treatment of choice, and studies have examined the sequential schedule of induction chemoradiotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy, with favourable results. This study investigated the principal clinical trials of chemoradiotherapy treatment in locally advanced pancreatic cancer in 2 patients. The 2 patients received induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine 1000 mg/mq day on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle for two cycles, followed by chemoradiotherapy with concurrent radiosensitizer bi-weekly gemcitabine 50 mg/mq for six weeks. Radiotherapy consisted of an external conformational 3D treatment administered to the pancreatic bed and locoregional nodes, with a total dose of 4500 Gy fractionated in 180 Gy/day, and a boost of 900 Gy to the neoplastic mass. Efficacy was evaluated four weeks after the end of treatment by a computed tomography (CT) scan and by fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/CT. The patients underwent further treatment with periodical instrumental evaluation. A disease control rate was observed in the two patients following sequential treatment, enhanced by subsequent treatment. The two patients remained alive 23-24 months following the diagnosis. The sequential treatment schedule therefore was an effective option in our locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients. A phase III trial and further investigation are required to verify this option in clinical practice.     

Gemcitabine,paclitaxel, and radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer: a Phase I trial

PURPOSE: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities of gemcitabine, paclitaxel, and concurrent radiation for pancreatic cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Twenty patients with locally unresectable pancreatic cancer were studied. The initial dose level was gemcitabine 75 mg/m(2) and paclitaxel 40 mg/m(2) weekly for 6 weeks. Concurrent radiation to 50.4 Gy was delivered in 1.8 Gy fractions. The radiation fields included the primary tumor, plus the regional peripancreatic, celiac, and porta hepatis lymph nodes. RESULTS: Dose-limiting toxicities of diarrhea, dehydration, nausea, and anorexia occurred in 3 of 3 patients at the second dose level of gemcitabine, 150 mg/m(2)/week. An intermediate dose level of gemcitabine, 110 mg/m(2)/week, was added, but gastrointestinal toxicity and pulmonary pneumonitis were encountered. The MTD therefore was gemcitabine 75 mg/m(2)/week with paclitaxel 40 mg/m(2)/week and concurrent radiation. Two of 11 patients treated at the MTD had Grade 3/4 toxicity. Four of 10 assessable patients treated at the MTD responded (40%), including one pathologic complete response. CONCLUSION: The maximum tolerated dosage of gemcitabine is 75 mg/m(2)/week with paclitaxel 40 mg/m(2)/week and conventional 50.4 Gy radiation fields. A Phase II Radiation Therapy Oncology Group study is under way.     

Gemcitabine concurrent with radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer

Gemcitabine (GEM) concurrent with radiation is clinically not well defined. We herein report four cases of chemo-radiotherapy against locally advanced pancreatic cancer using low-dose GEM concurrent with extra-beam radiation. A total of eight cases entered the study. Three were resected and five were non-resected cases. Intraoperative radiation was carried out in every case using an 8 or 10 centimeter cone with a radiation dose of 25 Gy. Postoperative radiation was 2 Gy per day on weekdays for 5 weeks. Four cases were concurrent with low-dose GEM (40 mg/m2) twice a week, whereas the other four were radiation only. With the use of GEM concurrent with radiation, tumor markers decreased more than 80 percent regardless of the tumor resection. CT scan confirmed a necrotic change and the decrease of the tumor size. In conclusion, low dose GEM concurrent with radiation therapy may be a promising therapeutic choice for the local control of advanced pancreatic cancers.     

Clinical benefit response of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with protracted 5-fluorouracil infusion in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer

Background Pancreatic cancer is a highly virulent disease with a poor prognosis. Although objective tumor response to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy is low, some patients show an improvement in their symptoms after treatments, without obvious tumor regression. Methods We assessed the clinical benefit of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with protracted 5-fluorouracil infusion in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Sixteen patients were enrolled in this study. The clinical benefit response to the chemoradiotherapy was evaluated by 2 indicators, including pain (intensity of pain and consumption of morphine) and performance status. A patient was defined to be a clinical benefit responder if 1 of these 2 variables was positive, and the other variable was positive or stable. Results Seven patients (44%) responded. Six patients (38%) were classified as stable, and 3 (19%) as nonresponders. The survival period in responders was significantly longer than that in nonresponders and stable patients. Conclusion Concurrent external-beam radiation therapy, with protracted 5-fluorouracil infusion, may be a meaningful treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer.     

Phase 2 Study of Nimotuzumab in Combination With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

BackgroundWe evaluated the tolerability and efficacy of nimotuzumab, a humanized IgG1 monoclonal anti–epidermal growth factor receptor antibody, with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with unresectable locally advanced non–small-cell lung cancer.Patients and MethodsIn this multicenter, single-arm, open-label, phase 2 trial conducted in Japan (JapicCTI-090825), patients received thoracic radiotherapy (60 Gy, 2 Gy per fraction, 6 weeks) and four 4-week cycles of chemotherapy (day 1, cisplatin 80 mg/m²; days 1 and 8, vinorelbine 20 mg/m²). Nimotuzumab 200 mg was administrated weekly for 16 weeks. The primary endpoint was treatment completion rate, defined as the percentage of patients completing 60 Gy of radiotherapy within 8 weeks, 2 cycles of chemotherapy, and at least 75% of the required nimotuzumab dose during the initial 2-cycle concurrent chemoradiotherapy period.ResultsOf 40 patients enrolled, 39 received the study treatment, which was well tolerated, with a completion rate of 87.2%. Thirty-eight patients completed 60 Gy of radiotherapy within 8 weeks. Infusion reaction, grade 3 or higher rash, grade 3 or higher radiation pneumonitis, or grade 4 or higher nonhematologic toxicity were not observed. The objective response rate was 69.2%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and 5-year PFS rate were 508 days and 29.0%, respectively. The 5-year PFS rate in patients with non–squamous cell carcinoma (n = 23) was 13.7% and in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (n = 16) was 50.0%. The 5-year overall survival rate was 58.4%.ConclusionAddition of nimotuzumab to the concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimen was well tolerated and showed potential for treating patients with locally advanced non–small-cell lung cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma.     

局部晚期非小细胞肺癌VMAT初步疗效和不良反应分析

目的 评估VMAT用于局部晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)放疗近期疗效和不良反应。 方法 2016年间无法手术的局部晚期NSCLC患者共 58例接受同步放化疗或序贯放化疗,其中男 47例。放疗剂量为 38~66 Gy,53例(92%)患者放疗剂量≥56 Gy。放疗中位次数30次,单次剂量 1.8~3.0 Gy。28例(48%)患者接受同步化疗。 结果 中位随访时间9个月,1年总生存率84%,1年无进展生存48%。11例(19%)患者发生症状性放射性肺炎,其中1例患者因为放射性肺炎死亡。31例(53%)患者在放疗后半年内CT发现无症状性肺局部纤维化。17例(29%)患者出现2级食管炎,10例(17%)患者发生≥3级不良反应,其中9例为白细胞减少。 结论 采用VMAT行局部晚期NSCLC胸部放疗近期疗效理想,不良反应可接受,肺炎风险未见增加。     

局部进展期胰腺癌的多学科综合治疗

胰腺癌是恶性程度高且预后极差的消化系统肿瘤。对可手术切除的局限性胰腺癌,因其术后局部复发儿率也较高,故建议采用以手术为主的多学科综合治疗。外放射治疗是无法手术胰腺癌的主要治疗手段。对无法切除的局部进展期肿瘤,主要采用局部外放射治疗联合全身化疗的多学科综合治疗。Ⅲ期随机临床研究结果已经证实,同期联合放化疗较单一放射治疗对患者的生存具显著优势。与放射治疗同步应用的化疗药物目前主要包括5-FU、卡培他滨与吉西他滨等。同期联合放化疗中应用多药联合化疗方案可明显增加治疗相关的不良反应,但临床研究结果并未显示多药方案对疗效及患者预后有所助益。放疗技术目前推荐三维适形放射治疗或调强放疗（IMRT）。靶区范围建议包括临床影像检查可见肿瘤外放安全边界,对未被侵及的淋巴引流区域不行预防性照射。IMRT不仅可减低周围正常组织的照射剂量,还可提高肿瘤靶区的照射剂量,实现剂量递增。

Radiation dose considerations in the palliative treatment of locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas

Treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer with high-dose radiotherapy has not been curative, and can be difficult to tolerate. We decided to compare retrospectively the outcomes of patients treated concurrently with 5-fluorouracil and either 30 Gy or more than 30 Gy of radiation. From December 1993 through May 2001, 107 patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas had been treated with palliative chemoradiation. Eighty-six patients had received a prescribed dose of 30 Gy and 50.4 Gy had been prescribed in 18 patients. Two of these patients were unable to complete the full dose of radiotherapy due to toxicity, and 3 received intraoperative radiotherapy boost (20 Gy). Three additional patients received a prescribed dose of 33 Gy, 36 Gy, and 52.2 Gy, respectively. These patients were grouped together (n = 21, median 50.4 Gy). All patients had received concurrent protracted venous infusions of 5-fluorouracil (300 mg/m Monday through Friday). The median survival time was not affected significantly by a higher radiotherapy dose (8 months for the 30 Gy group versus 9 months for the group receiving higher doses; P = 0.64). The 6-month actuarial progression rates were 45% versus 50% (P = 0.90) for local disease progression, and 54% versus 50% (P = 0.94) for distant metastasis for the 30 Gy and the higher dose groups, respectively. Ten of the 86 patients (12%) who had received 30 Gy were hospitalized for treatment-related gastrointestinal toxicity (grade 3) versus 6 of the 21 (29%) patients given higher doses (P = 0.05). Compared with higher doses given over 5 to 6 weeks, chemoradiation (30 Gy in 10 fractions in 2 weeks with concurrent infusional 5-FU) results in a similar median survival, and local disease progression rates in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer apparently do not substantially improve local disease control or median survival time. Because higher doses of radiotherapy can lead to increased acute treatment-related morbidity, we recommend using 30 Gy in 10 fractions unless the patient is part of a prospective study evaluating novel biologic or cytotoxic radiosensitizers.     

Preoperative chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced gastric cancer,a phase I/II feasibility and efficacy study

Objectives

This study was initiated to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of preoperative radiotherapy with weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin in locally advanced gastric cancer.

Methods

In a prospective study, patients with locally advanced gastric cancer stage IB-IV(M0) were treated with chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery 4–6 weeks after the last irradiation. Chemoradiotherapy consisted of radiation to a total dose of 45 Gy given in 25 fractions of 1.8 Gy, combined with concurrent weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel.

Results

Between December 2007 and January 2012, 25 patients with cT3 (64%) or cT4 (36%) gastric cancer were included. One patient discontinued concurrent chemotherapy in the 4th week due to toxicity, but completed radiotherapy. Another patient discontinued chemoradiotherapy after the 3rd week due to progressive disease. Grade III adverse events of chemoradiotherapy were: gastrointestinal 12%, haematological 12% and other 8%. All patients, except one who developed progressive disease, were operated. Surgical complications were: general/infectious 48%, anastomotic leakage 12%, and bowel perforation 8%. Postoperative mortality was 4%. Microscopically radical resection rate was 72%. Pathological complete response rate was 16% and near complete response rate 24%.

Conclusions

In this study, preoperative chemoradiotherapy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer was associated with manageable toxicity and encouraging pathological response rates.

Phase I study of hyperfractionated radiation therapy with protracted 5-fluorouracil infusion in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the maximum-tolerated dose of hyperfractionated radiation therapy with protracted 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) infusion in patients with locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Five cohorts of patients were scheduled to receive escalating doses of hyperfractionated radiation therapy (range, 45.6-64.8 Gy). All patients received two fractions of 1.2 Gy each (separated by 6 h) per day for 5 days a week, and received protracted 5-FU infusion (200 mg/m2/day) during the radiation course. The maximum-tolerated dose was defined as one dose level below the dose at which more than one third of 3-6 patients experienced dose-limiting toxicity. RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients were enrolled in this study. The most common toxicities were nausea/vomiting and anorexia. Although 1 patient developed bleeding from a gastric ulcer 3 months after the completion of chemoradiotherapy, the maximum-tolerated dose was not reached even at the highest dose level (level 5, 64.8 Gy). The median survival time was 12.2 months and the 1-year survival rate was 55.0%. CONCLUSION: The toxicity associated with our regimen was tolerable up to dose level 5 (64.8 Gy). We are currently conducting a phase II study of this hyperfractionated radiation therapy with protracted 5-FU infusion at a dose of 64.8 Gy.     

不能手术局部晚期非小细胞肺癌同步或序贯放化疗85例临床分析

目的：评价不能手术局部晚期非小细胞肺癌（ NSCLC）患者同步或序贯放化疗的疗效和不良反应。方法：2011年7月至2013年12月间初治接受同步或序贯放化疗的85例患者入组本研究,其中45例同步放化疗患者列入A组,40例序贯放化疗患者列入B组。A组采用放疗同步紫杉醇、顺铂化疗,B组采用单纯放疗,放疗结束后行紫杉醇、顺铂化疗。两组放疗方法相同,均为三维适型放疗,剂量60Gy/30f。对比两组治疗的疗效、不良反应和1、2年生存率。结果：85例患者均可评价疗效,随访率100%。A组与B组有效率分别为73.3%和50.0%（P﹤0.05）;1年局部控制率分别为51.1%和30.0%（P﹤0.05）;1年生存率分别为62.2%和42.5%（P﹥0.05）;2年生存率分别为37.8%和17.5%（P﹤0.05）。A组≥Ⅲ级放射性肺炎、放射性食管炎及Ⅲ~Ⅳ级骨髓抑制的发生率分别为6.7%、11.1%和28.9%,B组分别为5.0%、10.0%和27.5%。两组不良反应相似,均可耐受。结论：局部晚期NSCLC同步放化疗的疗效优于序贯放化疗,不良反应可耐受,同步放化疗是不能手术的局部晚期NSCLC标准治疗方法。
