吉西他滨与铂类的联合化疗是晚期非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)最常用的治疗方案。通常3周方案中的吉西他滨需间隔1周给药。为提高依从性,本研究将吉西他滨第8天给药时间调整为第5天,并评价调整方案一线治疗晚期NSCLC的疗效及安全性。
2007年10月-2009年10月共入组83例晚期NSCLC患者,采用吉西他滨1, 000 mg/m 2-1, 250 mg/m 2第1天、第5天静脉滴注30 min,联合顺铂75 mg/m 2,或联合卡铂(AUC=5)第1天静滴,每21天为1周期,每例至少完成2周期治疗后评价疗效,观察毒性反应及无进展生存期和总生存期。
Gemcitabine-platinum-combined with chemotherapy is the most common treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Gemcitabine is administered once a week in a general three-week schedule. In the present study, gemcitabine is administered on d1 and d5 to improve compliance, and the efficacy and safety of the improved regimen is evaluated in untreated patients with advanced NSCLC.
A total of 83 patients were enrolled between October 2007 and October 2009. In each cycle, gemcitabine was administered at a dose of 1, 000 mg/m 2-1, 250 mg/m 2 via a 30 min intravenous infusion on d1 and d5 followed by cisplatin at a dose of 75 mg/m 2 or carboplatin (AUC=5) on d1 every three weeks. At least two cycles of chemotherapy were completed in each case, and clinical response and toxicity of the regimen were observed.
The objective response rate was 37.3%. The median progression free survival and overall survival time were 6.1 months and 15.0 months, respectively. The one-year and two-year survival rates were 57.8% and 16.2%, respectively. Myelosuppression and gastrointestinal responses were the main toxicities. The incidence of grade 3/4 of leucopenia, hypohemia, and thrombocytopenia were 26.5%, 10.8% and 7.2%, respectively. A total of 27.5% of the patients in the cisplatin group had grade 3/4 gastrointestinal responses. Treatment related deaths were not observed in this study.
