Final results of a FNCLCC French Sarcoma Group multicenter randomized phase II study of gemcitabine (G) versus gemcitabine and docetaxel (G+D) in patients with metastatic or relapsed leiomyosarcoma (LMS)
2009
10527 Background: An objective response rate (RR) of 8% and 17% with G and G+D were respectively reported in metastatic soft tissue sarcomas (Maki, J Clin Oncol. 2007). We previously reported a 5% RR in 41 evaluable patients (pts) with ‘non uterus‘ LMS randomized to each arm of this randomized phase II study (Duffaud, ASCO. 2008). We present here the results of G vs G+D in uterine and all LMS. Methods: Patients had histologically proven metastatic or unresectable LMS, one prior anthracycline- based regimen, age ≥18, measurable disease (RECIST), PS ≤ 2. Treatment was G 1,000 mg/m2(over 100 minutes, d1+d8+d15) q28 days (d) or G 900 mg/m2(over 90 min, d1+d8) and docetaxel 100 mg/m2 (over 60 min, d8) q21 days; in the G+D arm, pts received lenograstim d9–15, 25% dose reductions were employed for prior pelvic radiation. The primary endpoint was the objective RR (CR+PR), evaluated every 2 cycles. Stratification was by primary tumor location (uterus vs. non-uterus). The Simon method was used: for “uterus” study, ...
