ABSTRACT
BACKGROUDN Docetaxel is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent with proven efficacy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, myelosuppression can be a substantial concern when docetaxel is administered every 3 weeks. Weekly administration of low-dose docetaxel has demonstrated a comparable efficacy together with a distinct toxicity profile with reduced myelosuppression. We conducted a phase II study of weekly administration of docetaxel and cisplatin or carboplatin in patients with advanced NSCLC to evaluate efficacy and safety. METHODS:
Twenty-nine patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who had not received prior treatment were enrolled in the study. The patients received intravenous infusions of docetaxel (35 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, 15) and cisplatin (75 mg/m2 on day 1) or carboplatin (AUC 6), followed by a week of rest.RESULTS:
Twenty-six patients were assessable for efficacy and all patients were assessable for toxicity determination. The overall response rate of the regimen was 44.8%. The median survival was 11.3 months, and the 1-year survival rate was 37%. Of the hematologic toxicities, grade 3/4 neutropenia were observed in 12.6% of the patients, but there were no episodes of neutropenic fever. Non-hematologic toxicities were mild.CONCLUSIONS:
With this weekly dosing regimen, although efficacy is comparable, myelosuppression is substantially less, and the overall tolerability profile is better than with dosing every 3 weeks.
