Locoregional recurrences occur in up to 50% of patients after macroscopically complete (R0/R1) resections of abdominal, pelvic, and retroperitoneal sarcomas. Efficacy of a drug-eluting polymer film in reducing locoregional recurrence rates was assessed in a murine recurrent sarcoma model.Poly(glycerol monostearate-co-caprolactone) polymer films were synthesized with and without 300 mu g paclitaxel (Pax-film and unloaded film). Cytotoxicity was assessed against CS-1 (human chondrosarcoma) cells in vitro and in vivo in nude mice. Following R0/R1 resection of primary subcutaneous tumors, mice were blindly randomized to: (1) Pax-film implant, (2) unloaded film implant, (3) paclitaxel 300 mu g IV (Pax IV), or (4) no other therapy ("untreated"). Locoregional recurrence, overall survival (OS), and tumor mitotic index were evaluated.Pax-films, but not unloaded films, reduced CS-1 viability in vitro for > 50 days (P < 0.001). In vivo, locoregional recurrence was observed in 2 of 12 Pax-film mice (17%), 9 of 13 unloaded film mice (69%), 8 of 9 Pax IV mice (89%), and 7 of 8 untreated mice (88%) (P < 0.01). Median OS was 81, 64, 48, and 56 days, respectively. Paclitaxel levels in local tissues were 50- to 300-fold greater in Pax-film mice compared with Pax IV mice. Tumor mitotic index adjacent to Pax-films was significantly lower than adjacent to unloaded films.Tumor bed implantation of Pax-films after R0/R1 resection is superior to Pax IV as evidenced by reduced locoregional recurrence and improved OS in a murine recurrent sarcoma model. Continuous local drug exposure via polymer films represents a potentially novel approach for treatment of locally aggressive sarcomas.
