贝伐珠单抗联合紫杉醇/卡铂治疗晚期非小细胞肺癌25例分析

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The current study reported the result of bevacizumab treatment administered to 25 Chinese patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who were treated at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital as a part of the SAiL (MO19390) trial. This trial is an open, international multicenter, single-arm clinical study that assesses the safety and efficacy of first-line bevacizumab-based therapy in advanced NSCLC. METHODS: Twenty-five Chinese patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC received bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) combined with chemotherapy (carboplatin plus paclitaxel) treatment from August 2007 to February 2008. Adverse effects (AEs), objective response rate (ORR), median time to progression (TTP), and overall survival (OS) were measured. RESULTS: AEs were generally mild and reversible. The most frequent AEs were alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, rash, proteinuria, nausea/vomitting, fatigue, myalgia, bleeding, and hypertension. The partial remission and stable disease rates were 68% and 28%, respectively. The median TTP and OS of all patients were 11.2 and 19.3 months, respectively. CONCLUSION: Bevacizumab combined with carboplatin-based chemotherapy may be well tolerated and beneficial for Chinese patients with non-squamous NSCLC.
