A randomized, phase II trial comparing sequential paclitaxel/cisplatin/gemcitabine/vinorelbine/ (PCGV) with cisplatin/gemcitabine/vinorelbine/ (CGV) in patients (pts) with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

Popis: 17008 Background: New effective therapies are needed to improve the outcome of patients with advanced NSCLC. In this regard, new approaches such as cisplatin-based triplets have been explored with promising results but high toxicity. Furthermore, sequential chemotherapy schedules with taxanes followed by cisplatin-based regimens or viceversa could improve activity. A phase II study showed that sequential chemotherapy with weekly paclitaxel followed by CGV was highly active. Methods: A multicenter, randomized phase II trial of PCGV vs CGV in advanced NSCLC patients was conducted. Primary end-point: time to progression and survival. Eligible pts had unresectable, histologically confirmed NSCLC; no prior chemotherapy; PS 0–2; measurable disease. Pts received: Arm A (PCGV): P 150 mg /m2/week × 6, followed 2 weeks later by C 100 mg/m2 on day 1, gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 14, and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 on days 1 and 14 (CGV), every 28 days for a maximum of six courses. Arm B (CGV): C 100 mg/m2 on day 1, gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 14, and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 on days 1 and 14 (CGV), every 28 days for a maximum of six courses. Results: 106 Pts were included. Pts baseline characteristics (A/B: 52/54): male 82/79%; median age 60/59 (range 38–75 years); PS 0: 30/33%; 1 63/60%; 2: 7/7%; % squamous carcinoma:44/42%.WHO grade 3–4 toxicities for P were: neutropenia 18%; anemia 10%; thrombocytopenia 2%, peripheral neuropathy 18%. Grade 3–4 toxicities for CGV after P were: neutropenia 31%,nausea-vomiting 20%,thrombocytopenia 7%,anemia 5%,peripheral neuropathy 21%. WHO grade 3–4 toxicities for arm B were: neutropenia 35%,nausea-vomiting 19%, anemia 12%, thrombocytopenia 11% and peripheral neuropathy 15%. After therapy with arm A, 44% achieved a partial response, 15% had stabilization and 41% progressed. Arm B response rate were as follows: partial response 33%, stable disease 24% and progressive disease 43%. Median time to progression was (A/B) 7/6 months (log rank test, p 0.13) and median survival was (A/B): 11/10 months (log rank test, p 0.5). Conclusions: In spite of high response rate in TCGV arm, no survival benefit was detected in advanced NSCLC patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
