Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the maximum tolerated doses (MTD) and the dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of the combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PEG-LD), paclitaxel and oxaliplatin (L-OHP) administered every 2 weeks in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Methods

Thirty-nine pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors received escalated doses of PEG-LD (10–16 mg/m2), paclitaxel (100–120 mg/m2) and L-OHP (50–70 mg/m2) every 2 weeks. As one cycle of treatment was considered the administration of both drugs on days 1 and 15 of a 4-week cycle.

Results

The MTDs were PEG-LD 14 mg/m2, paclitaxel 120 mg/m2 and L-OHP 70 mg/m2. Neutropenia was the DLT in all but one case with only one episode of febrile neutropenia and no toxic deaths. Four (4%) and 13 (12%) cycles were complicated by grades 4 and 3 neutropenia, respectively. Grades 2–3 fatigue and neurotoxicity occurred in 13 and 12% of cycles, respectively. Responses were observed in patients with breast, endometrial and ovarian carcinomas.

Conclusions

This is a quite well-tolerated regimen which merits further evaluation in phase II studies.

Nodal-negativ nach neoadjuvanter Chemo: Axilladissektion verzichtbar?

03.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

Wenn bei Mammakarzinomen durch eine neoadjuvante Chemotherapie ein Downstaging von nodal-positiv zu nodal-negativ gelingt, scheint es auch ohne Axilladissektion nur selten zu axillären Rezidiven zu kommen.

Wo hapert es noch bei der Umsetzung der POMGAT-Leitlinie?
