Trabectedin in the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. First russian experience
Abstract
Aim of the study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of 24-hour 3 weekly CI infusion of trabectedine in patients with specific soft tissue sarcomas subtypes as a second or more treatment option. Materials and methods. 21 patients with PD after one or more lines of chemotherapy were enrolled. 12 pts. with leiomyo, 7 -synovial and 3 myxoid liposarcoma. Detailed toxicity profile evaluation was performed and the obtained data almost equals STS 201 trial. Patients received 2-9 cycles with median 4 cycles. Results. 20 patients were available for the response assessment: CR - 0, PR - 3 (15%), SD - 11 (55%), PD - 6 (30%) with the control rate (CR+PR+SD) of 70%. Conclusion. Trabectedine is effective second or more line treatment option for advanced specific STS subtypes with acceptable toxicity profile.
