Antiblastic Drug Combinations with Ifosfamide: An Update
2003
Ifosfamide is an alkylating agent that is widely used in the treatment of various neoplasms, such as sarcomas, lymphomas, pediatric malignancies, germ cell tumors, lung, breast and ovarian cancer. The clinical toxicity of ifosfamide depends on the dose and administration schedules. The pharmacologic features of this drug enable its combination with other antiblastic agents, such as vinorelbine, gemcitabine, paclitaxel and docetaxel. Moreover, the pharmacologic profile of ifosfamide allows the use of this antiblastic drug in patients who have previously failed many other treatments, and a large percentage of responses has already been obtained. There is some concern about the optimal schedul…
Cabazitaxel in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Progressing after Docetaxel: A Prospective Single-Center Study
2016
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of cabazitaxel in combination with prednisone treatment in Italian patients affected by hormone-refractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with docetaxel plus prednisone. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Thirty patients with mCRPC were enrolled between June 2013 and January 2016 (the last follow-up was in January 2016). Cabazitaxel was used according to the summary of product characteristics and administered at a dose of 25 mg/m<sup>2</sup> every 3 weeks plus oral prednisone at a dose of 5-mg tablets twice a day continuously. The…
Comparative assessment of docetaxel for safety and efficacy between hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer.
2019
To compare toxicity and response of docetaxel chemotherapy between metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients of the same therapeutic era for assessing of upfront docetaxel against the benchmark of docetaxel in the castrate resistant stage in the setting outside of clinical trials.A prospectively collected database of real-world prostate cancer patients receiving docetaxel was divided in mHSPC and mCRPC cases and retrospectively analyzed. Principal objectives were toxicity measured by the common criteria of adverse events terminology and response characterized by Prostate specific antigen decline and radiographic…
PRODIGE 59-DURIGAST trial: A randomised phase II study evaluating FOLFIRI + Durvalumab ± Tremelimumab in second-line of patients with advanced gastri…
2021
International audience; Gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinomas present poor overall survival (OS). First-line chemotherapy regimen for patients with HER2-negative tumours is based on a doublet or triplet of fluoropyrimidine plus platinum salt ± taxane. Second-line chemotherapy (Docetaxel or Irinotecan) improves OS which nonetheless remains poor (around 5 months). The first results of immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1) combined with chemotherapy in metastatic gastric and GEJ cancers were discordant in recent phase III trials. Data on dual-blockade (anti-PD-L1 or anti-PD-1 plus anti-CTLA-4) plus chemotherapy are lacking. DURIGAST is a randomised, multicenter, non-c…
PKP-004 Adverse events associated with Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in breast cancer patients treated with docetaxel-based chemotherapy: Abstract …
2014
Background Inter-individual differences in drug response are linked, in many cases, to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes coding for drug-metabolising enzymes and transporters. Docetaxel is active for several tumour types, including breast cancer, but its use is limited by toxicity. Purpose To evaluate the associations between a panel of 86 SNPs in 32 genes and toxicities developed by breast cancer patients treated with docetaxel. Materials and methods Between June 2011 and February 2013 breast cancer patients treated with docetaxel plus cyclophosphamide ± doxorubicin who gave informed consent were genotyped. Genomic DNA was analysed by a genetic analysis platform (MassArray, S…

Sorafenib in combination with docetaxel as first-line therapy for HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer: Final results of the randomized, double-bli…
2019
Abstract Background This multicenter, double-blind phase II study assessed the antitumor activity and toxicity profile of docetaxel with the antiangiogenic multikinase inhibitor sorafenib or matching placebo as a first-line treatment in patients with metastatic or locally advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. Patients and methods Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive docetaxel 100 mg/m2 on day 1 every 3 weeks in combination with sorafenib 400 mg bid or placebo on days 2–18 of each cycle until tumor progression, or unacceptable toxicity. Sorafenib/placebo could be continued at the investigator's discretion if docetaxel was stopped due to toxicity. Primary endpoint was progression free surv…

Efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant pertuzumab and trastuzumab in women with locally advanced, inflammatory, or early HER2-positive breast cancer (Neo…
2011
Summary Background Studies with pertuzumab, a novel anti-HER2 antibody, show improved efficacy when combined with the established HER2-directed antibody trastuzumab in breast cancer therapy. We investigated the combination of pertuzumab or trastuzumab, or both, with docetaxel and the combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab without chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting. Methods In this multicentre, open-label, phase 2 study, treatment-naive women with HER2-positive breast cancer were randomly assigned (1:1:1:1) centrally and stratified by operable, locally advanced, and inflammatory breast cancer, and by hormone receptor expression to receive four neoadjuvant cycles of: trastuzumab (8 mg…
Ten-Year Safety and Efficacy Analyses of the Big 02-98 Phase III Trial with an Exploratory Analysis on the Role of Ki67 in Predicting Benefit of Adju…
2014
ABSTRACT Aim: The BIG 2-98 is a randomized phase III trial that tested the effect of adding docetaxel with anthracycline-based adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) in women with node-positive breast cancer (BC). here we present the 10 year safety and efficacy analyses and report an exploratory analysis of the predictive value of Ki67 for docetaxel efficacy. Methods: In total, 2,887 patients with node positive BC were randomly assigned to one of four treatments: (I) sequential control: doxorubicin (A, 75 mg/m2) × 4 → CMF; (II) concurrent control: AC × 4 → CMF; (III) A × 3 → docetaxel (T, 100 mg/m2) × 3 → CMF and (IV) : AT (50/75 mg/m2) × 4 → CMF. The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of d…
