Issue Date: | 12-Jan-2010 | Publication information: | British Journal of Cancer 2010; 102(3): 475-81 | Abstract: | Docetaxel administered 3-weekly with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil leads to better survival than does standard therapy in patients with oesophagogastric cancer, but leads to high rates of haematological toxicity. Weekly docetaxel is associated with less haematological toxicity. This randomised phase II study tested weekly docetaxel-based combination chemotherapy regimens, with the aim of maintaining their activity while reducing toxicity.Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic oesophageal or gastric carcinoma were randomised to receive weekly docetaxel (30 mg m(-2)) on days 1 and 8, cisplatin (60 mg m(-2)) on day 1, and 5-fluorouracil (200 mg m(-2) per day) continuously, every 3 weeks (weekly TCF, wTCF); or docetaxel (30 mg m(-2)) on days 1 and 8 and capecitabine (1600 mg m(-2) per day) on days 1-14, every 3 weeks (weekly TX, wTX).A total of 106 patients were enrolled (wTCF, n=50; wTX, n=56). Response rates, the primary end point, were 47% with wTCF and 26% with wTX. Rates of febrile neutropenia were low in each arm. Median progression-free and overall survival times were 5.9 and 11.2 months for wTCF and 4.6 and 10.1 months for wTX, respectively.Weekly TCF and TX have encouraging activity and less haematological toxicity than TCF administered 3-weekly. Weekly docetaxel-based combination regimens warrant further evaluation in this disease. | Gov't Doc #: | 20068567 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10948 | DOI: | 10.1038/sj.bjc.6605522 | Journal: | British Journal of Cancer | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20068567 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Aged Aged, 80 and over Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols.adverse effects.therapeutic use Cisplatin.administration & dosage Deoxycytidine.administration & dosage.analogs & derivatives Esophageal Neoplasms.drug therapy.mortality.psychology Female Fluorouracil.administration & dosage.analogs & derivatives Humans Male Middle Aged Quality of Life Stomach Neoplasms.drug therapy.mortality.psychology Taxoids.administration & dosage |
