Abstract
PURPOSE: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression is common in endometrial cancers and may have a major role in tumor growth and progression. Erlotinib is an orally active, selective inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase activity.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A multinomial design two-stage phase II study was performed to evaluate single-agent activity of erlotinib in women with advanced endometrial cancer with recurrent or metastatic disease who were chemotherapy naïve and had received up to one line of prior hormonal therapy. Erlotinib was administered at daily dose of 150 mg. Archival tumor tissue was analyzed for EGFR expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and gene amplification by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Mutational status of EGFR was determined in responders.
RESULTS: Thirty-two of 34 entered patients are assessable for response. Treatment was well tolerated and severe toxicity infrequent, with the only grade 4 toxicity being an elevation of transaminases (AST). There were four confirmed partial responses (PRs; 12.5%; 95% CI, 3.5% to 29%) lasting 2 to 36 months. Fifteen patients had stable disease (SD), with median duration of 3.7 months (range, 2 to 12 months). EGFR expression was analyzed in thirty patients; 19 were positive, nine were negative, and two were not assessable. Of the 19 patients who were EGFR positive, three had PR (16%), seven SD, and eight progressive disease, and one was not assessable. No mutations were identified in responders. FISH showed no correlation of response with gene amplification.
CONCLUSION: Erlotinib is well tolerated with an overall objective response rate of 12.5%. Molecular analysis did not identify EGFR mutations in responders or correlation of response with gene amplification.
我的评论:这些病人经过化疗和内分泌治疗,仍然有12.5%的客观反应率,疾病控制率超过50%(PR+SD),另外EGFR的状态跟疗效没有明显关系,所以在目前缺乏足够靶向药的现实下,经历多线治疗晚期子宫内膜病人可以试试特罗凯。 |
