We have conducted a phase Ⅱ study with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and folinic acid (FA). METHODS: Thirty-one patients with hystologically- confirmed, inoperable HCC, received combination chemotherapy with PLD 25 mg/mq on d 1, 5FU 1200 mg/mq in 48 h continuous infusion, and oral FA 30 mg on d 1 and 2 every 3 wk until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. RESULTS: The median age was 65 years (range 41-82) and 28 patients were hepatitis C virus seropositive (90%). The majority of patients were Child-Pugh Class B (55%). Two patients showed a partial response (PR), and 16 had stable disease (SD). With a median follow-up of 14 mo, the median time to progression of all evaluable patients was 4 mo (95% CI 1.7-7). Median overall survival was 9 mo (95% CI 3-24 mo). After 1 year, 9 of 18 PR/SD patients were alive. Chemotherapy was well tolerated. CONCLUSION: PLD/FU/FA combination seems capable of achieving durable stabilization of HCC. The manageable toxicity supports a role for combination with other anticancer agents.展开更多

METHODS: An analysis of the medical records of 10 patients with ROC, treated in our institution with a combination of PLD and carboplatin following progression on single-agent PLD therapy was performed. The median age was 59.1 years(range, 45 to 77 years). All diagnoses were histological-proven. Eight of the 10 patients were platinum-resistant. Following disease progression on single-agent PLD treatment, carboplatin area under the curve(AUC)-5 was added to PLD in all 10 patients. In order to assess disease status, Ca-125 was assessed before each PLD/carboplatin treatment. Relative changes in Ca-125 values were calculated, and response defined as a greater than 50% reduction in Ca-125 from baseline. Radiographic studies were reevaluated and responses to therapy based on com-puter tomography(CT) scans carried out on a regular basis every 2-3 mo in each patient. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS(V19).RESULTS: A median of 10 cycles(range, 2-26) of the carboplatin-PLD combination was given. Of the 10 treated patients, 6 had > 50% reduction in Ca-125 levels from baseline, 4 of these had a partial response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST) criteria, and the other 2 patients had no measurable disease. In a further 2 patients with a best response of disease stabilization and < 50% reduction of Ca-125 levels, one had progression of disease after 26 cycles, and the second progressed with brain metastases following 12 cycles. Seven of the eight patients who were platinum-resistant showed evidence of clinical benefit on carboplatin-PLD combination therapy; 5 of these had > 50% reduction in Ca-125 level, 4 also showed a partial response on CT scan. The treatment was generally well-tolerated by the patients. CONCLUSION: Addition of carboplatin to PLD, after disease progression on single-agent PLD therapy, is both effective and safe in patients with ROC, even in those with Platinum-resistant disease.展开更多

Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is an alternate anthracycline formulation with a more favorable safety profile compared with conventional anthracyclines. METHODS In this open-label trial, 61 women with LABC received up to 6 cycles of PLD 30 mg/m2 on Day 1 and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 every 21 days. Hormone receptor and/or HER2 status was not routinely available. RESULTS The overall clinical response rate (primary efficacy endpoint) was 80% (95% CI: 68%-89%). Two patients achieved a pathological complete response (3%), with 75% having their tumor down-staged, and 89% proceeding to tumor resection. The most frequent nonhematologic adverse events were stomatitis, fever, rash, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, with none considered serious. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia occurred in 10% and 2% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION PLD plus vinorelbine demonstrated comparable efficacy to conventional anthracyclines plus vinorelbine in the neoadjuvant treatment of LABC, but may offer safety advantages.展开更多

The objective of this open-label, noncomparative, observational study was to determine the efficacy and safety of PLD monotherapy or combination therapy with carboplatin for patients with cancer. recurrent or refractory ovarian METHODS Sixty-two patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer who completed a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and demonstrated platinum sensitivity for first-line treatment at least 6 months prior to study entry were enrolled in 20 centers in China. PLD was given as monotherapy (50 mg/m2 infused over 60 minutes) or as combination therapy (30 mg/m2 1-hour infusion) with carboplatin (area under the curve 5 mg.min/mL 1-hour infusion) on day 1 every 28 days for 4 cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response (OR) rate or CA-125 level. Secondary endpoints included time to response, time-to-progression, health-related quality of life, and safety. RESULTS Overall, 48% of the 62 evaluable patients achieved a confirmed OR. More patients receiving PLD and carboplatin achieved an OR vs the PLD monotherapy group (63% vs. 37%). The median time to response and disease progression was 58.5 days and 56.0 days, respectively. Overall and drug-related adverse events were reported for 39% and 34%, respectively. The most commonly reported adverse events were stomatitis (22.6%) and palmar-plantar erythroderma (9.7%). Two deaths were reported. CONCLUSION PLD is an effective and well tolerated agent in women with recurrent or refractory epithelial ovarian cancer.展开更多

Trial data were reviewed and extractedindependently by 2 reviewers. We evaluated the quality of theincluded studies using the Handbook 5.0 recommend standardsand then analyzed data by Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0.RESULTS Two trials which included a total of 348 patients wereanalyzed. The results of meta-analysis showed that gemcitabineimproved disease control rates significantly better than pegylatedliposomal doxorubicin. A greater number of patients receivinggemcitabine experienced neutropenia compared with patientsreceiving pegylated liposomal doxorubicin; however, hand-footsyndrome and mucositis were more severe in patients receivingpegylated liposomal doxorubicin.CONCLUSION Gemcitabine provided a limited advantagecompared with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. There existsan urgent need for more high-quality, multicenter, adequaterandomized, controlled clinical trials for comparing gemcitabinewith pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in patients withprogressive/recurrent ovarian cancer.展开更多

We performed this study to evaluate the efficacy and liposomal doxorubicin (PLD, Ca of pegylated , vincristine, and reduced-dose dexamethasone combination therapy in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients in a Chinese population. METHODS This was an open-label, single-arm study in which newly diagnosed patients with MM received PLD 40 mg/m2 intravenously on Day 1, vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously (maximum 2 rag) on Day 1, and 40 mg of dexamethasone (intravenously or orally) from Day 1 to Day 4. Treatment was repeated every 28 days for at least 4 cycles. RESULTS In the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis, the overall response rate was 68.29%, and the complete remission rate was 10.98%. The incidence of all adverse events was 46.34%. The most common non-hematologic toxicities were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (13.4%) and stomatitis (6.1%). CONCLUSION PLD, vincristine, and a reduceddose dexamethasone combination (DVd) is an effective and safe regimen in newly diagnosed MM patients in a Chinese population.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin(PLD)uses the hydrophilic layer of liposomes to reach the sweat on the skin surface or accumulate in the sweat glands,producing toxic free radicals and oxidative damage,resulting in hand-foot syndrome(HFS).Regional cooling can induce vasoconstriction to reduce the release of drugs in the limbs and reduce the accumulation of drugs in sweat glands;thus,decreasing the incidence and severity of HFS.AIM To study the efficacy of cooling patches to prevent HFS caused by PLD in the short-term.METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study.Female breast cancer patients(n=101)who were treated with PLD in two breast wards at our department from February 2020 to February 2021 were enrolled in the study and were randomly divided into the cooling group(51 patients)and the control group(50 patients).Patients in the control group only received routine care,while the patients in the cooling group applied cooling patches,based on routine care,to the palm and back of the hands 15 min before chemotherapy infusion for 10 h.All patients took a corresponding dose of dexamethasone orally one day before chemotherapy,on the day of chemotherapy,and one day after chemotherapy.SPSS23.0 version was used to analyze the data in this study.The occurrence and severity of HFS was analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test,and scores were analyzed by the Student’s t test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test.A P value<0.05 was regarded as statistically significant.RESULTS In this study,neither group of patients developed Grade 3 HFS.In the control group,the incidence of Grade 1 HFS and Grade 2 HFS was 38%and 2%,respectively.However,in the cooling group,only one person developed Grade 1 HFS(2%),and none of the patients developed Grade 2 HFS.These findings showed that cooling patches can effectively reduce the frequency and severity of HFS(P<0.0001)in the short-term.Before the fourth chemotherapy cycle,although general self-efficacy scale scores in the cooling group were low,they were still significantly higher than those in the control group(17.22±5.16 vs 19.63±6.42,P=0.041).Compared with the control group,the mean Hand-Foot Skin Reaction and Quality of Life Questionnaire score in the cooling group was significantly lower(18.08±7.01 vs 14.20±7.39,P=0.008).CONCLUSION Cooling patches can effectively reduce the frequency and severity of HFS caused by PLD in the short-term.In addition,it may help delay the decline in patients’self-efficacy.
文摘AIM: To improve the results of New therapeutic strategies in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We have conducted a phase Ⅱ study with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and folinic acid (FA). METHODS: Thirty-one patients with hystologically- confirmed, inoperable HCC, received combination chemotherapy with PLD 25 mg/mq on d 1, 5FU 1200 mg/mq in 48 h continuous infusion, and oral FA 30 mg on d 1 and 2 every 3 wk until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. RESULTS: The median age was 65 years (range 41-82) and 28 patients were hepatitis C virus seropositive (90%). The majority of patients were Child-Pugh Class B (55%). Two patients showed a partial response (PR), and 16 had stable disease (SD). With a median follow-up of 14 mo, the median time to progression of all evaluable patients was 4 mo (95% CI 1.7-7). Median overall survival was 9 mo (95% CI 3-24 mo). After 1 year, 9 of 18 PR/SD patients were alive. Chemotherapy was well tolerated. CONCLUSION: PLD/FU/FA combination seems capable of achieving durable stabilization of HCC. The manageable toxicity supports a role for combination with other anticancer agents.
文摘AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin(PLD) and carboplatin in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian carcinoma(ROC), following disease progression on single agent PLD. METHODS: An analysis of the medical records of 10 patients with ROC, treated in our institution with a combination of PLD and carboplatin following progression on single-agent PLD therapy was performed. The median age was 59.1 years(range, 45 to 77 years). All diagnoses were histological-proven. Eight of the 10 patients were platinum-resistant. Following disease progression on single-agent PLD treatment, carboplatin area under the curve(AUC)-5 was added to PLD in all 10 patients. In order to assess disease status, Ca-125 was assessed before each PLD/carboplatin treatment. Relative changes in Ca-125 values were calculated, and response defined as a greater than 50% reduction in Ca-125 from baseline. Radiographic studies were reevaluated and responses to therapy based on com-puter tomography(CT) scans carried out on a regular basis every 2-3 mo in each patient. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS(V19).RESULTS: A median of 10 cycles(range, 2-26) of the carboplatin-PLD combination was given. Of the 10 treated patients, 6 had > 50% reduction in Ca-125 levels from baseline, 4 of these had a partial response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST) criteria, and the other 2 patients had no measurable disease. In a further 2 patients with a best response of disease stabilization and < 50% reduction of Ca-125 levels, one had progression of disease after 26 cycles, and the second progressed with brain metastases following 12 cycles. Seven of the eight patients who were platinum-resistant showed evidence of clinical benefit on carboplatin-PLD combination therapy; 5 of these had > 50% reduction in Ca-125 level, 4 also showed a partial response on CT scan. The treatment was generally well-tolerated by the patients. CONCLUSION: Addition of carboplatin to PLD, after disease progression on single-agent PLD therapy, is both effective and safe in patients with ROC, even in those with Platinum-resistant disease.
文摘OBJECTIVE In China, vinorelbine plus an anthracycline is a common neoadjuvant regimen for locally-advanced breast cancer (LABC). Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is an alternate anthracycline formulation with a more favorable safety profile compared with conventional anthracyclines. METHODS In this open-label trial, 61 women with LABC received up to 6 cycles of PLD 30 mg/m2 on Day 1 and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 every 21 days. Hormone receptor and/or HER2 status was not routinely available. RESULTS The overall clinical response rate (primary efficacy endpoint) was 80% (95% CI: 68%-89%). Two patients achieved a pathological complete response (3%), with 75% having their tumor down-staged, and 89% proceeding to tumor resection. The most frequent nonhematologic adverse events were stomatitis, fever, rash, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, with none considered serious. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia occurred in 10% and 2% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION PLD plus vinorelbine demonstrated comparable efficacy to conventional anthracyclines plus vinorelbine in the neoadjuvant treatment of LABC, but may offer safety advantages.
文摘Purpose:?The treatment of advanced breast cancer (ABC) is still challenging aiming mainly to improve or maintain the quality of life. The efficacy of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) was proven in patients with ABC.?Because its expensive treatment?there is a great need to find the predictive factors for the clinical outcome of PLD.?Our purpose was to evaluate the factors which?would affect the clinical outcomes in patients receiving PLD for advanced breast cancer. Methods: Retrospectively, we studied the medical records of 60 eligible patients during the period of seven years (Jan.?2011-Dec.?2017).?All patients?were treated in Medical Oncology Department, South Egypt Cancer Institute, Assiut?University,?Egypt. We included only patients with visceral metastasis who received at least 2 cycles of PLD and had radiological assessment after that. Clinical benefit rate of PLD and survival outcome were assessed and correlated with patients and disease?characteristic. Results:?The majority of patients had a performance status grade II (81.7%), recurrent disease (86.7%), more than one metastatic site (83.3%), and chemoresistance to previous anthracycline (75%).?The clinical benefit rate (CBR) to PDL was 30%. We found statistical?significant association between higher CBR and biological subtypes (p??0.001), type of metastatic breast disease (p?=?0.003), chemosensitivity to anthracycline (p??0.001), and the number of previous lines of chemotherapy (p?=?0.041).?The median progression-free survival (PFS) was five months. There was a statistically-significant improvement of PFS among patients with anthracycline-sensitive tumors compared to those with anthracycline-resistant tumors (10 months vs. 5 months, respectively, p?=?0.004). The most common toxicity was palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (28% for all grade and 9% for grade 3 or more). There was no severe cardiotoxicity or treatment-related death.?Conclusion:?Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin appears to be more effective in patients?with (luminal B with Her2neu?positive, triple-negative and in her2neu amplified), also we noticed that de novo metastatic disease, patient who are not heavily pretreated tumors and patients with the anthracycline-sensitive tumor get more benefit from PLD than others.
文摘OBJECTIVE Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD; CAELYX ), a novel formulation of doxorubicin with enhanced therapeutic efficacy and reduced toxicity, has demonstrated improved progression-free survival in recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer. The objective of this open-label, noncomparative, observational study was to determine the efficacy and safety of PLD monotherapy or combination therapy with carboplatin for patients with cancer. recurrent or refractory ovarian METHODS Sixty-two patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer who completed a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and demonstrated platinum sensitivity for first-line treatment at least 6 months prior to study entry were enrolled in 20 centers in China. PLD was given as monotherapy (50 mg/m2 infused over 60 minutes) or as combination therapy (30 mg/m2 1-hour infusion) with carboplatin (area under the curve 5 mg.min/mL 1-hour infusion) on day 1 every 28 days for 4 cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response (OR) rate or CA-125 level. Secondary endpoints included time to response, time-to-progression, health-related quality of life, and safety. RESULTS Overall, 48% of the 62 evaluable patients achieved a confirmed OR. More patients receiving PLD and carboplatin achieved an OR vs the PLD monotherapy group (63% vs. 37%). The median time to response and disease progression was 58.5 days and 56.0 days, respectively. Overall and drug-related adverse events were reported for 39% and 34%, respectively. The most commonly reported adverse events were stomatitis (22.6%) and palmar-plantar erythroderma (9.7%). Two deaths were reported. CONCLUSION PLD is an effective and well tolerated agent in women with recurrent or refractory epithelial ovarian cancer.
文摘OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects ofgemcitabine versus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in patientswith progressive or recurrent ovarian cancer.METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search toidentify all randomized controlled trials comparing gemcitabineand pegylated liposomal doxorubicin for progressive orrecurrent ovarian cancer. Trial data were reviewed and extractedindependently by 2 reviewers. We evaluated the quality of theincluded studies using the Handbook 5.0 recommend standardsand then analyzed data by Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0.RESULTS Two trials which included a total of 348 patients wereanalyzed. The results of meta-analysis showed that gemcitabineimproved disease control rates significantly better than pegylatedliposomal doxorubicin. A greater number of patients receivinggemcitabine experienced neutropenia compared with patientsreceiving pegylated liposomal doxorubicin; however, hand-footsyndrome and mucositis were more severe in patients receivingpegylated liposomal doxorubicin.CONCLUSION Gemcitabine provided a limited advantagecompared with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. There existsan urgent need for more high-quality, multicenter, adequaterandomized, controlled clinical trials for comparing gemcitabinewith pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in patients withprogressive/recurrent ovarian cancer.
文摘OBJECTIVE Though doxorubicin is highly active in the treatment of multiple myeloma, its toxicity profile limits its therapeutic index. We performed this study to evaluate the efficacy and liposomal doxorubicin (PLD, Ca of pegylated , vincristine, and reduced-dose dexamethasone combination therapy in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients in a Chinese population. METHODS This was an open-label, single-arm study in which newly diagnosed patients with MM received PLD 40 mg/m2 intravenously on Day 1, vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously (maximum 2 rag) on Day 1, and 40 mg of dexamethasone (intravenously or orally) from Day 1 to Day 4. Treatment was repeated every 28 days for at least 4 cycles. RESULTS In the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis, the overall response rate was 68.29%, and the complete remission rate was 10.98%. The incidence of all adverse events was 46.34%. The most common non-hematologic toxicities were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (13.4%) and stomatitis (6.1%). CONCLUSION PLD, vincristine, and a reduceddose dexamethasone combination (DVd) is an effective and safe regimen in newly diagnosed MM patients in a Chinese population.
