Effect of TCM Combined with Chemotherapy on Immune Function and Quality of Life of Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer inStage Ⅲ-Ⅳ

Objective: To observe and compare the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with chemotherapy (CT) on immune function and quality of life (QOL)of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ. Methods: One hundred cases with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups. The treated group (n=50) received CT combined with TCM, and the control group received CT alone. The percentage of T lymphocyte subset in peripheral blood and the change of natural killer (NK) cell count were observed after treatment. The QOL and tolerance of CT were also compared between the two groups after treatment. Results: In the treated group, CD3 cell count, CD4 cell count, CD4/ CDg ratio and NK cell activity were higher than those in control group, while CD8 cell count in the treated group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and QOL and tolerance of CT in the treated group were also better (P<0.05). Conclusion: TCM combined with CT could raise the patients' ability in tolerating CT in stage Ⅲ-ⅣNSCLC.

Antiangiogenic agents combined with chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer

As a targeted therapy, antiangiogenic treatment has been increasingly studied for advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and has proven effective for the treatment of advanced NSCLC. Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting angiogenesis, is the only antiangiogenic agent approved for use in combination with first-line chemotherapy for non-squamous NSCLC. Small-molecule inhibitors targeting the tyrosine kinase receptor have also shown promise when combined with standard chemotherapeutic agents in patients with advanced NSCLC. However, unlike bevacizumab, not all other antiangiogenic agents show significant benefits when combined with chemotherapy. As for the failures of most other combinations, the combination schedule may be an important reason that has so far been overlooked in clinical trials. This article reviews the combination of angiogenic agents with chemotherapy in the treatment of NSCLC.

Effect of Astragalus Injection Combined with Chemotherapy on Qual ity of Life in Patients with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Objective: To observe the effect of Astragalus injection (AI) combined with chemotherapy on quality of life (QOF) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung caner (NSCLC). Methods: Sixty NSCLC patients were randomly divided into the treated group (n=30,treated with AI combined with chemotherapy) and the control group (n=30, treated with chemotherapy alone). Chemotherapy of MVP protocol was applied to both groups. AI was supplemented to the treated group by intravenous dripping 60 ml per day. Treatment of 21-28 days consisted one treatment cycle, and 2-3 cycles were applied. WResults: The effective rate in the treated group was 40.0% and in the control group was 36.7%, the mean remission rate in them being 5.4 month s and 3.3 months, the median survival period 11 month and 7 month and the 1-year survival rate 46.75% and 30.0%, respectively, the difference of these indexes between the two groups were all significant (P<0 05). Moreover, the clinical improving rate and QOF elevation rate in the treated group was 80.4% and 43.3%, as compared with those in the control group (50.0% and 23.3% respectively), the different was also significant (P<0 01). Conclusion: AI combined with chemotherapy can significantly improve the QOF in NSCLC patients of advanced stage.

Docetaxel as salvage chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer after failure of cytotoxic agents and gefitinib treatment

Objective： We conducted a prospective phase II trial of single-agent salvage chemotherapy with docetaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） after failure of chemotherapy and gefitinib to assess the efficacy and toxicity of docetaxel in this setting. Methods： Patients with histologically confirmed NSCLC who were failure of chemotherapy and gefitinib were given docetaxel 75 mg/m^2 intravenously for 30 rain every 3 weeks until the toxicity was unacceptable or disease progressed. The response evaluation criteria in solid tumors （RECIST） guidelines were used for the evaluation of an- titumor activity. Toxicity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria version 2.0. Results： In total, 31 patients were enrolled in this phase II trial between February 2004 and December 2006, and 84 cycles （average 2.7 cycles） were given. We observed 4 partial responses （PRs） and 10 stable disease （SD） states in 31 eligible patients. The objective response rate was 12.9%, and the disease control rate was 45.2%. The median survival time （MST） was 10 months （95% CI, 5.05-15.08 months）. The 1-year survival rate was 40.6%. The most common toxicities were neutropenia, anemia, and peripheral neuropathy that occurred as follows： 45% of the patients experienced grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, 29% experienced grade 3 anemia, and 25.8% had grade 3 peripheral neuropathy. No patient terminated docetaxel chemotherapy due to toxicity. Conclusion： Docetaxel is beneficial as salvage chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC after failure of cytotoxic agents and gefitinib.

Adjuvant Chemotherapy of Gemcitabine plus Carboplatin versus Paclitaxel plus Carboplatin in Patients with Resected Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Background: This retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of gemcitabine plus carboplatin (GC regimen) and paclitaxel plus carboplatin (PC regimen) combination chemotherapy administered as an adjuvant therapy after complete resection of non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: Forty-four patients (GC regimen, n = 29;PC regimen, n = 15) received gemcitabine at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, and carboplatin with the target dose of area under the curve (AUC) of 4 on day 8 every 28 days and paclitaxel at a dose of 70 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15, and carboplatin with the target dose of AUC of 5 on day 1 every 28 days. Results: A total of 130 cycles of the treatment were administered (averaged, 3.1 in GC arm and 2.7 cycles in PC arm). Forty-three patients (97.7%) completed the scheduled cycles. One patient (2.3%) was discontinued due to grade 4 pneumonia. The dose was reduced in 2 patients (4.5%) due to grade 4 thrombocytopenia. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was significantly observed in the PC group (GC: 12/29, 41.4%;PC: 11/15, 73.3%, p = 0.0443). The nonhematological toxicities were mild. Grade 1/2 alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in the GC group was significantly observed higher compared to those of the PC group (GC: 20/29, 69.0%;PC: 4/15, 26.7%, p = 0.0076). Grade 1/2 alopecia was significantly observed in the PC group (GC: 0/25, 0.0%;PC: 13/15, 86.7%, p 0.0001). There was no treatment-related death. The median survival time (MST) of the entire GC group was 784 days, the 3-year overall survival (OS) was 75.9%, and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 65.5%. The MST of the entire PC group was 963 days, the 3-year OS was 80.0%, and the 3-year RFS was 60.0%. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the GC and PC combination chemotherapies are efficacious and feasible regimens, which should be considered as one of the standard therapies for adjuvant therapy.

Clinical study of docetaxel-vinorelbine as second-line chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Objective： To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of docetaxel and vinorelbine as second-line chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. Methods： 48 histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC patients with progressive or recurrent disease after first-line treatment were treated with docetaxel and vinoretbine. The chemotherapy included vinorelbine （25 mg/m^2） on days 1,5 and docetaxel （60 mg/m^2） on day 1. The treatment was repeated every 3 weeks. Patients receiving at least two cycles were evaluated for efficacy and toxicity. Results： Of 48 patients, 1 patient achieved complete response and 16 achieved partial response. Overall response rate for all 48 patients was 35.4% （17/48）. Main hematologic toxicities included neutropenia （60.4%） and febrile neutropenia （29.2%） and non-hematologic toxicities were mild. Conclusion： The combination of docetaxel-vinorelbine as second-line chemotherapy is an effective regimen with manageable toxicity for the treatment of advanced NSCLC. Further studies may confirm these results.

Induction chemotherapy followed by weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin with concurrent radiotherapy in inoperable stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancers: results of a phase Ⅱ trial

Objective： several trials have suggested the superiority of concurrent chemoradiotherapy. It has been hypothesized that the addition of systemic dose sequential chemotherapy to concurrent chemoradiotherapy, as induction or as consolidation, might further improve survival rates. So we sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of induction paclitaxel and carboplatin followed by weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin with concurrent radiotherapy in inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. Methods： Fifty-six patients with stage III inoperable NSCLC received induction chemotherapy with 2 cycles of paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC-6 every 3 weeks then patients were assigned to concurrent chemoradiotherapy with paclitaxel 45 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC-2 weekly along with concurrent radiotherapy at dose of 60 Gy （1.8 Gy/d x 5 d/week）. Results： Median age of the 56 eligible patients was 61 years, most of them were males （87.5%）. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common pathological type （55.4%） and 85.7% had a performance status of 1. The majority of patients were presented with stage IIIB （62.5%）. Neutropenia was the most common toxicity during induction therapy （12.5% expressed grade 3） whereas esophagitis was the most common non hematologic adverse reaction during concurrent chemoradiotherapy （14.3% of grade 3）. The overall response rate was 71.6% with complete response in 19.6%. After median follow up of 20 months, the median survival time was 13 months （95% CI： 10.917-15.083） and 1 year overall survival rate was 53.6%. Conclusion： This regimen has demonstrated an acceptable toxicity profile and encouraging response to treatment. Evaluation of this regimen in larger number and a phase III trial are recommended.

Nedaplatin/Gemcitabine Versus Carboplatin/Gemcitabine in Treatment of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Objective： To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nedaplatin/gemcitabine （NG） and carboplatin/gemcitabine （CG） in the management of untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. Methods： Sixty-two patients with previously untreated advanced NSCLC were recruited between June 2006 and November 2007. Subjects were randomly assigned to the NG arm （n=30） and the CG arm （n=32）. Only patients （24 and 25 in the NG and CG arms, respectively） who completed 〉2 chemotherapy cycles were included in the data analysis. The primary outcome measure was the objective response rate （ORR）. The secondary outcome measures included progression-free survival （PFS）, overall survival （OS） and adverse events. Results： There were no statistically significant differences in the efficacy measures （ORR, P=0.305; median PFS, P=0.298, median OS, P=0.961） or in the major adverse events （grade 3/4 neutropenia, P=0.666; grade 3/4 anemia, P=0.263; grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia, P=0.222） between the two treatment arms. However, there was a trend towards higher ORR （37.5% vs. 24.0%）, longer PFS （6.0 vs. 5.0 months）, and less adverse events in the NG arm. Conclusion： NG regimen seems to be superior over CG regimen for advance NSCLS, but further investigation is needed to validate this superiority.

Comparison of efficacy and toxicity between gemcitabine plus cisplatin and plus carboplatin in first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Objective: To compare the efficacy and toxicity between gemcitabine plus cisplatin and plus carboplatin in first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 iv, d1, 8; cisplatin 75 mg/m2 iv, d1, or 25 mg/m2 iv, d1-3; carboplatin AUC = 5 iv, d1; repeated every 21 days. Results: All 76 cases were available for objective response. Gemcitabine + cisplatin (GCis) group: among 33 cases, CR 1 case, PR 13 cases, MR 3 cases, SD 7 cases, PD 9 cases, response rate, disease control rate, time to progress (TTP), median survival time (MST) and 1-, 2-year survival rates were 42.42% (14/33), 72.73% (24/33), 5 months, 14 months and 66.67% (22/33), 12.12% (4/33), respectively; Gemcitabine + carboplatin (GCarb) group: among 43 cases, PR 13 cases, MR 11 cases, SD 7 cases, PD 12 cases, the results while comparing with those of GCis group were 30.23% (13/43), 72.09% (31/43), 4 months, 11 months and 48.84% (21/43), 2.33% (1/43), respectively. Among them, only MST between the two groups had significant statistic difference (χ2 = 2.45, P = 0.017). Mild to modest myelo-suppression as well as nausea and vomiting were observed. Conclusion: Both GCis and GCarb regimens had active and well-tolerated toxicity for advanced NSCLC. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy yields a substantial effective advantage over carboplatin-based regimens. Therefore, carboplatin and cisplatin are not equal-active and that cisplatin-based doublet regimens should remain the standard first-line therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC with good performance status.

Mean KPS was increased from 75.5 at baseline to 87.7 after chemotherapy （P 〈 0.01）; lung cancer symptom scale （LCSS） scores of cough, hemoptysis, chest pain and dyspnea were increased from 64, 65, 62 and 65 to 90, 92, 87 and 88, respectively （P 〈 0.01）. The median time to progression （TTP） was 5.3 months; median survival time （MST） was 8.5 months. The main toxicities were fatigue, leukopenia and decrease of hemoglobin with well tolerance. Conclusion： Weekly dose docetaxel monotherapy schedule is a feasible, well-tolerated, and active scheme in the treatment of the elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

Comparison of two different kinds of regimens in treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Objective： The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the recent efficacy and toxicity of a three-drug platinum-based regimen （A regimen）： [cisplatin （DDP） ＋ gemcitabine （GEM） ＋ vinorelbine （NVB）] and a two-drug combination without a platinum drug （B regimen）： GEM ＋ NVB, which were used to treat 55 advanced non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） patients, in a bid to provide a guidance for clinical treatment. Methods： Twenty-four cases of advanced NSCLC （stage Ill-IV） patients were treated with A regimen （DDP 35 mg/m^2 d1-3; GEM 1250 mg/m^2 d1, 8 ）. The other 31 cases were treated with B （GEM 1250 mg/m^2 d1,8; NVB 25 mg/m^2 d1, 8 ）. Repeat every 3 weeks for 6 courses. Results： In A regimen group, the overall response rate was 45.8% （CR ＋ PR = 11）, median response time was 5.5 months, median survival time was 11 months and 1-year survival rate was 41.7%. In B regimen group, the overall response rate was 48.4% （CR ＋ PR = 15） and median response time, survival time and 1-year survival rate were respectively 6.5 and 10 months and 41.9%. The major toxicities were nausea/vomiting, myelosuppression in A regimen group, myelosuppression and phlebitis in B regimen group, respectively. Conclusion： A regimen and B regimen for advanced NSCLC have similar response rate （P 〉 0.05）. B regimen, a two-drug combination without a platinum drug is of less toxicity and more safety than A regimen, a three-drug platinum-based regimen and is recommended to be a regimen in the first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC.

Radiofrequency deep hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Background:In the era of precision medicine,chemotherapy is still considered the cornerstone of treatment for lung cancer patients without gene mutations.How to reduce the toxicity and increase the efficiency of chemotherapy is worth exploring.This study aimed to investigate the curative effects and safety of hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy(HCT)for advanced patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),especially those with malignant pleural effusion.Methods:We retrospectively evaluated medical records of 93 patients with advanced NSCLC(stage IIIB-IV)from March 2011 to January 2014.The patients were divided into HCT and chemotherapy(CT)groups.The HCT group was treated with gemcitabine and cisplatin(GP)regimen combined with regional radiofrequency deep hyperthermia,while the CT group was treated with GP regimen only.Those with malignant pleural effusion extra underwent thoracentesis and intrapleural injection chemotherapy combined with hyperthermic or not.Clinical treatment results and adverse reactions were compared and analyzed after treatment.SPSS 19.0 software(SPSS Inc.,USA)was used for statistical data processing.P values less than 0.05 were accepted to be statistically significant.Results:Among the 93 patients,HCT group included 48 patients(16 patients with malignant pleural effusion),CT group included 45 patients(10 patients with malignant pleural effusion).There was no significant difference between the two groups in patient characteristics.The overall response rate(ORR)of pleural effusions was much better in HCT group than that in CT group(81.2%vs.40.0%,P=0.046).The patients in HCT group had lower incidence rate of weakness(12.5%us.46.7%,χ^2=13.16,P<0.001)and gastrointestinal(25.0%vs.77.8%,χ^2=25.88,P<0.001)adverse reactions than that in CT group.The objective tumor response and survival showed no significant differences.Conclusions:Hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy might lead to the development of better therapeutic strategy for advanced NSCLC with malignant pleural effusion patients.Also,it could greatly reduce the chemotherapy toxic effects in the incidence of weakness and gastrointestinal adverse reactions in advanced NSCLC patients.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of second-line chemotherapy strategies for patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer

Lung cancer is the most widespread type of cancer and the primary cause of cancer-related death in the world.In this study,we aimed to analyze the cost-effectiveness of second-line chemotherapy strategies based on gemcitabine,pemetrexed,and docetaxel for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer patients in China.A Markov model based on three states,progression-free survival,progressed survival and death,was constructed to simulate the progression of the disease in a 6-year horizon.Sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the robustness of the model.The primary outcome of the model was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio at a willingness-to-pay threshold of 3×per capita GDP of China in 2018($29383).The baseline model results showed that the quality-adjusted life years over the course of the disease associated with second-line chemotherapy strategies were 0.233,0.417 and 0.272 for gemcitabine,pemetrexed and docetaxel,respectively,and the corresponding total costs were$5321.02,$12143.94,and$9479.42.Gemcitabine,pemetrexed and docetaxel resulted in the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of$37081.09 and$106625.64 per quality-adjusted life year gained.The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of pemetrexed and docetaxel compared with gemcitabine exceeded the willingness-to-pay threshold.One-way sensitivity analysis showed that the utility value of gemcitabine in the progressed survival state was the most influential parameter.

Phase Ⅱ trial of carboplatin/docetaxel in patients with resected NSCLC

AIM: To investigate the development of a safer chemotherapeutic regimen with better compliance, a total of 67 patients were enrolled as a single arm in a twostage multi-center phase Ⅱ study.METHODS: The patients received chemotherapy with carboplatin(CBDCA) with an area under the curve(AUC) of 5, and docetaxel(DTX) at 60 mg/m2 tri-weekly for three cycles after surgery. The primary endpoint of this study was compliance, while the secondary endpoints were the adverse events(AE) and recurrencefree survival(RFS).RESULTS: Sixty-one patients were treated in this study arm. The patients were 43 males and 18 females, with a median age of 64.6 years. Fifty-one patients(83.6%)completed all three cycles of therapy. The presence of Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia was noted in 25% and 66%of the patients, respectively. The non-hematological AE were less frequently reported, and no treatmentrelated death was registered. The two-year RFS and OS rates of the 61 patients were 69.8% and 88.3%,respectively.CONCLUSION: A tri-weekly schedule of CBDCA and DTX as adjuvant chemotherapy showed a favorable feasibility.
