Experience with the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer in Hungary

In the first phase of this study 34 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer have been treated either with gemcitabine/cisplatin or gemcitabine/5-fluorouracil (5FU)/leucovorin combination. (Gemzar: 900 mg/m2, Cisplatin: 20 mg/m2, 5-FU: 750 mg/m2). Treatments were continued till tumor progression. There was no difference observed between the two protocols in the clinical response rates (PR=65%). On the other hand, a significant difference was found between the two protocols regarding the side effects. In the case of gemcitabine/5-FU neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and anaemia (as well as nausea and vomiting) were much less frequent compared to gemcitabine/cisplatin combination. Based on these data the efficacy of gemcitabine/5-FU combination was evaluated in 99 stage III, T1-4, N1 and stage IV, T1-4, N0-1, M1 pancreatic cancer patients throughout 364 treatment cycles. OR was achieved in 10% while stable disease in 52% of the cases. The average survival period was 8.33 months while the time to progression was 5.75 months. Based on these data we recommend gemcitabine/5-FU/leucovorin combination for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.

Elaboration of the combination of antitumor preparations bleomycetin + 5-fluorouracil + cisplatin

Clinical trials on efficacy and toxicity of combined use of bleomycetin, 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin in patients with disseminated tumor processes were conducted. Two regimens were applied. Regimen I included intravenous administration of cisplatin in a dose of 100-150 mg/m2 on day 1, intramuscular administration of bleomycetin in a dose of 10 mg on days 2-4 and intravenous jet injection of 5-fluorouracil in a dose of 400 mg/m2 on days 2-4. Regimen II consisted of intramuscular administration of bleomycetin in a dose of 10 mg on days 1-3, intravenous jet injection of 5-fluorouracil in a dose of 400 mg/m2 on the same days and intravenous administration of cisplatin in a dose of 100-150 mg/m2 on day 4. The intervals between the courses amounted to 4 weeks. Complete regression of cervical carcinoma relapsing was observed in 1 patient. In 5 patients i.e. 1 with small-cell lung cancer, 3 with squamous cell lung cancer and 1 with metastases of low-differentiated cancer from an undetected focus to supraclavicular lymph nodes the effect was partial. Long-term stabilization of the disease at the background of the treatment for 6-7 months was stated in 3 patients. On the whole the objective response was in 6 out of 22 patients or in 27 per cent. 7 of them were treated with cisplatin in a dose of 150 mg/m2. The regimens of the combined use of 5-fluorouracil, bleomycetin and cisplatin were low toxic. The therapeutic effect showed that the combination was of practical value.

The role of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy regimens consisting of different combinations of drugs in the treatment of advanced oral cancer

We performed a retrospective analysis on the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with three cycles of methotrexate (100 mg/m² on day 1), cisplatin (90 mg/m² on day 1) and bleomycin (20 mg/m² on day 1–5) with 21 d gap between each cycle in 44 patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the cheek, lip and tongue followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin (90 mg/m² on day 1), Mitomycin C (6 mg/m² on day 1) and 5-fluorouracil (1000 mg/m² 120 h continuous infusion from day 1) repeated every 3 weeks for three cycles. Following induction chemotherapy, complete response was observed in 11 out of 44 patients (25%), and a partial response in a further 28 patients (64%). The overall median survival of all patients was 29 months and those in stage III and stage IV were 30 and 15 months respectively (P<0.001). The median duration of the time to relapse in patients who responded to adjuvant chemotherapy was 28 months. The main toxic effect was vomiting followed by hematological toxicity. No treatment-related deaths occurred. The regimen showed a significant response, encouraging median survival and a good tolerability profile.

The intratumoral aromatase model: studies with aromatase inhibitors and antiestrogens

Aromatase inhibitors have now been approved as first-line treatment options for hormone-dependent advanced breast cancer. When compared to tamoxifen, these aromatase inhibitors provide significant survival and tolerability advantages. However, the optimal use of an aromatase inhibitor and tamoxifen remains to be established. To date, the intratumoral aromatase xenograft model has proved accurate in predicting the outcome of clinical trials. Utilizing this model, we performed long-term studies with tamoxifen and letrozole to determine time to disease progression with each of the treatment regimens. Aromatase-transfected MCF-7Ca human breast cancer cells were grown as tumor xenografts in female ovariectomized athymic nude mice in which androstenedione was converted to estrogen and stimulated tumor growth. When tumor volumes were approximately 300 mm³, the animals were grouped for continued supplementation with androstenedione only (control) or for treatment with letrozole 10 μg per day (long-term), tamoxifen 100 μg per day (long-term), letrozole alternating to tamoxifen (4-week rotation), tamoxifen alternating to letrozole (4-week rotation), or a combination of the two drugs. Tumors of control mice had doubled in volume in 3–4 weeks. In mice treated with tamoxifen and the combination, tumor doubling time was significantly shorter (16 and 18 weeks, respectively) than with letrozole (34 weeks). Furthermore, alternating letrozole and tamoxifen treatment every 4 weeks was less effective than letrozole alone. Tumors doubled in 17–18 weeks when the starting treatment was tamoxifen and in 22 weeks when the starting treatment was letrozole. Tumors progressing on tamoxifen remained sensitive to second-line therapy with letrozole (10 μg per day). However, when mice with letrozole-resistant tumors were switched to antiestrogen treatment, tumors did not respond to tamoxifen (100 μg per day) or faslodex (1 mg per day). This suggests that advanced breast cancers treated with letrozole may be insensitive to subsequent second-line hormonal agents. Thus, although letrozole was determined to be an effective second-line treatment option for tumors progressing on tamoxifen, antiestrogen therapy does not appear to be effective for tumors progressing on letrozole. However, response to second-line treatment was observed in a model where tumors that had progressed on letrozole were transplanted to new mice. These tumors had been allowed to grow in the presence of supplemented androstenedione but absence of letrozole. This suggests that resistance to letrozole may be reversible, allowing tumors to respond to subsequent antiestrogens and letrozole.     

Phase II clinical trial of ex vivo-expanded cytokine-induced killer cells therapy in advanced pancreatic cancer

Second-line chemotherapy in patients with gemcitabine-refractory advanced pancreatic cancer has shown disappointing survival outcomes due to rapid disease progression and performance deterioration. The aim of this phase II trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adoptive immunotherapy using ex vivo-expanded, cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells in gemcitabine-refractory advanced pancreatic cancer. Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who showed disease progression during gemcitabine-based chemotherapy were enrolled in this study. For generation of CIK cells, peripheral blood samples were collected from each patient and cultured with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody and IL-2. Patients received CIK cells intravenously 10 times, every week for 5 weeks and then every other week for 10 weeks. Twenty patients were enrolled between November 2009 and September 2010. The disease control rate was 25 % (4/16 patients). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11.0 weeks (95 % CI 8.8–13.2), and the median overall survival (OS) was 26.6 weeks (95 % CI 8.6–44.6). Grade 3 toxicities included general weakness in two patients and thrombocytopenia in one patient. Grade 4 hematologic or non-hematologic toxicity was not observed. Patients showed improvement in pancreatic pain, gastrointestinal distress, jaundice, body image alterations, altered bowel habits, health satisfaction, and sexuality when assessing quality of life (QoL). Adoptive immunotherapy using CIK cells showed comparable PFS and OS to survival data of previous trials that assessed conventional chemotherapies while maintaining tolerability and showing encouraging results in terms of patient QoL in gemcitabine-refractory advanced pancreatic cancer (clinicalTrials.gov number NCT00965718).
