  ABSTRACT: This open-label phase III study assessed the addition of Toll-like receptor 9-activating oligodeoxynucleotide PF-3512676 to gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Chemotherapy-naive patients with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC were randomized (1:1) to receive six or fewer 3-week cycles of i.v. gemcitabine (1250 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8) and cisplatin alone (75 mg/m2 on day 1, control arm) or combined with s.c. PF-3512676 0.2 mg/kg on days 8 and 15 of each chemotherapy cycle and weekly thereafter until progression or unacceptable toxicity (experimental arm). No crossover was planned. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). A total of 839 patients were randomized. Baseline demographics were well balanced. Median OS (11.0 versus 10.7 months; P=0.98) and median progression-free survival (PFS) (both 5.1 months) were similar between groups. Grade≥3 hematologic adverse events (AEs), injection-site reactions, and influenza-like symptoms were more frequently reported among patients receiving PF-3512676. At the first-interim analysis, the Data Safety Monitoring Committee recommended study discontinuation. Administration of PF-3512676 was halted based on efficacy futility and increased grade≥3 AEs (experimental arm). Addition of PF-3512676 to gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy did not improve OS or PFS but did increase toxicity.

  ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the combination of vinorelbine (VRL) alternating intravenous (i.v.) and oral in combination with docetaxel (DCT) as first-line chemotherapy of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Tested doses were 60 or 70 mg m(-2) given on day 1 for DCT, 20 to 25 mg m(-2) for i.v. VRL on day 1, 60 mg m(-2) on day 8 or day 15 for oral VRL. Day 1 was administered every 3 weeks. Three to six patients were treated per dose level. The median age of the 30 treated patients was 60 years. Four patients were non evaluable for the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and were replaced. Reported dose-limiting toxicities were 11 omissions of oral VRL for neutropenia, two cases of febrile neutropenia and two grade 4 neutropenia >or=7 days. Dose levels using DCT doses >60 mg m(-2) and/or i.v. VRL doses >20 mg m(-2) met the criteria for MTD. Most frequent toxicities were febrile neutropenia in seven patients and neutropenic infection in four patients (one fatal). Therefore, the recommended schedule was established at i.v. VRL 20 mg m(-2) with DCT 60 mg m(-2) on day 1 and oral VRL 60 mg m(-2) given on day 15 every 3 weeks. At this recommended schedule, only one of six patients experienced febrile neutropenia. Among 22 patients evaluable for tumour response, 2 complete and 10 partial responses were reported. Pharmacokinetics of combined VRL and DCT demonstrated the absence of mutual interaction. This phase I study established the recommended doses and schedules of the combination alternating i.v. and oral VRL with DCT, this recommended regimen being further explored in a phase II study.

  ABSTRACT: We present a 68-year old patient with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA). This is the first reported patient with B-CLL in whom skin lesions and eosinophilia were observed simultaneously. The most frequent side effect of this drug is myelosuppression with pancytopenia. So far, there have been few reports of cases where either skin reactions or eosinophilia, occurring separately, were observed as side effects from 2-CdA treatment.
